Congrats.

I had seafood for my turkey dinner and my desert was Dannon Greek yogurt then I also went to the gym and work out for one hour and went to the gym after the holiday . The gym makes me feel good and I do not feel bad about not eating unhealthy because if there is something that I want I will have a spoon of it but sweets are a big turn off for me and I always remember protein first .

Hi I have been married over 25 years, unless your marriage can not be saved through counseling or unless it is physical or mentally abuse, I would not give up . Just remember you made the choice to be healthy she has to want it too . Tell her how important she is to you and you envision a life with her until death do you part and want her to be healthy . Maybe you both can start out with talking walks together , preparing healthy meals together while attending marriage counseling good luck .

Congrats jeep up the great work .

Hello everyone those who are afraid of gaining wright please remember if you are working out at least 3 times a week and eating with portion control you should be fine . You have to burn more than your consuming . I know we are all afraid of regaining weight and just as important as loosing weight . Focus on one day at a time and making good choices you got this .

LOL loving your since of humor, continue to try new things or reintroduce things back into your body before long your body will adjust and you will love your bottom once again. Good luck.

Congrats to you all for wanting to be healthy. I would look into support groups as well as discuss these issues with your doctor. I also would look into seeing if I could have skin removal approved by your insurance and doctor. I am not at my goal weight yet but I look healthy and i am happy i am 5 feet 11 and I now have a hour glass figure . I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair at my 1 year post rny goal. I work out 6 days a week and I have begun strength training. Talking to other people who have had to struggle with their weight has proven helpful to me . Although sometimes we see the fat person in the mirror it is just our insecurity . Everyone kept telling me that I was skinny and had a great figure and I could not see it until recently when I saw my reflection in my work door that is mirror . Stay focus and concentrate on one day at a time. You got this and you can do this. Good luck.

I agree it is a great tool that we must thank God everyday for, and with dedication you can maintain your weight lose stay healthy and make good food choices. Congrats to everyone for making the decision to be healthy.

Congrats to everyone keep up the great job and try not to spend to much on clothing and shop the thrift store trust me you will be going through many more clothing. i purge my closet and had 17 bags of clothing and only four outfits left now its fill again.

I have friends who have had it 10 years ago and no problems I am almost 2 years post opt and I have had no problems at all I take my Vitamins and exercise everyday and eat healthy. Remember this is a lie style change that you have to be willing to commit to as well as make the necessary changes to be healthy, this surgery alone is not just the answer but the choices you make to exercise , eat healthy and take your vitamins. Good luck.

Hi you can walk at any time but if you are planning on doing anything more get the approval from your doctor, walking is an great exercise to began with. Good luck you got this.

Congrats .

It depends on how you feel honestly I could have went back in 1 week but took 2 weeks so that I could attend my first post opt appointment I had no complications and I was feeling great . Good luck .

I think the survey was great I hope we have the opportunity to see the results.

I am 45 and i have lost over 120 pounds I exercise 7 days a week for 1-2 hours a day you are going t o have loose skin because remember you have stretch your skin , exercise helps tone it , i also have had a tummy tuck with muscle repair because my stomach was so big that it hung, i went from a size 32 pants to a size 10 pants. So I am saying this i would not trade being healthy for nothing gaining your life back gives you a second chance on life and you are want to do things that you could not have done and the extra skin can be handle with body contouring and exercise. Good luck everyone.

I agree with the above statements if they deny you appeal it have your doctor write a letter as well as you write a letter detailing your struggles as well as all the changes that you have gone through to be healthy good luck.

I agree with the above statements I have been using myfitness pal for almost two years and I love it just ignore the warning and listen to your doctor and body. Protein is key as well as water you got this and congrats on your choice on being healthy.

Toasty first congats on your choice on being healthy , I have to agree with the above statement did to check with your insurance company because some of them have different requirements like I had to do a 6 month program I had to do with monthly documentations as well as exercise program that I had to do in order to qualify. Good luck and keep us posted i am shock that your program cordinator dod not look into this before you started your program.

That is great I felt the same way , I see myself everyday and even with the many compliments i still did not see myself like they did until i seen my reflection in my office door one day and had to to keep checking and doing a double take to make sure that reflection person was me. Congrats and keep up the great work.
