Wow you look amazing! Congratz to you!

I am very much in need how would we work this out?

Just set up my educational classes looking forward to going. They also set me up with the physician assistant appt, dietition and nutrician appt as well. So glad my journey has begun!!!

Hello everyone! My names Nichole, I'm 26 amd I have a 6 year old son. I have put much thought and lots of research about the gastric bypass surgery. I am 283lbs right now and my goal weight is 150lbs. I spoke with the pcp and he agrees that im a good candidate for the surgery. So heres my question what do I do to get things started. I know I need to call to make an appt but I was told I need to call my insurance company first? Is the surgery worth it all? I want to better myself and get healthy for my son so I can enjoy watching him growing up. I want to be able to enjoy getting out and experiencing new things with out stares and giggles. So can someone write me and give me a little bit of detail on all of this? Thanks, Nichole

Aww hang in there. I havent had the surgery yet but I too know for a fact my arms are going to be a mess when lose all this weight. I fear that more than my tummy lol. Water aerobics are amazing for exercise especially treading water. Boy do i feel it in the arms when i tread water. Hope this helps.

Cauliflower mashed potatoes are pretty good I have to say. Def worth a try.

Thanks for getting back to me and the info. Then I guess Im going to start it tomorrow. Yay cant wait. I want to get the show on the road! Im calling today to set up my first appointment for the begining steps tword the surgery. Im looking forward to begining this journey on bettering my life. <3

Thanks for all the info ladies its greatly appreciated! Do any of you know about muscle milk? Its that ok for a lady to drink. I bought a big can of it was gonna start it tomorrow to replace lunches as a start but a guy friend told my bff that muscle milk wasnt for woman? Is it a dieting shake? Cuz now im confused and uneasy with starting it.

Does anyone know if muscle milk is ok to drink for a woman. I guy friend said that i couldnt but he didnt make sense to why lol. So if anyone else is drink this pre op let me know i jave yet to try it just in case. Im calling my doc tomorrow lol

Hi there! I can sooo relate to what you went through! I too have been over weight since I was an early teen! Have one son, had 2 miscarrages after him and have a lot of issues with my health. I talked to my doc friday about gettibg set up in the path for tge surgery. Im calling monday to start settibg everything up. I would love to be a friend and us talk and support each other through all of this. If so you can email me at inkedempress@yahoo.com and if you want we can exchange cell numbers and txt. Its nice to have a friend who can relate. Good luck with everything!
