I hope this doesn't offend because I mean it in the nicest way possible but if you don't mind me asking how come he only lost 100lbs in 4.5 years?

You just have to find food that you can eat that you also like. I love cheese and hummus so I eat that often. It kills me when my parents eat fast food in front of me almost daily, but I also see how big they are and associate the two. The cravings will get easier the longer you "detox" from the food that made you big. A few days ago my dad made italian sausage and it smelt AMAZING, so I took a gerbil sized bite (I am not kidding about the bite size) and I was able to get the taste without getting sick, and I got over all my cravings.

I am extremely open about it because i hate that people think negatively about the surgery (usually due to ignorance) so just about everyone I know is aware of my surgery

Does anyone have or plan on getting a post op tattoo? One of the girls in my local support group has one along the lines of "a new life a new beginning" etc on her arm. I have a tattoo planned out that I actually wanted prior to even considering WLS and now it's perfect for a post op tattoo haha. I want to get corset ribbons tattooed on my ribs to remind me not to "have to loosen them" so to say. I've also been waiting years to get tattoos because i didn't want to be fat when I got them, so I'm also thrilled to be able to start getting the other 3 I have planned out

The best thing you can do before surgery is eat light and EXERCISE. the more you work out the better your blood flow and heart will be for the surgery and it'll really help with the healing process

And for anyone who would like some inspiration, here are some pictures of his success. I'm very proud of him :] he went from 360lbs to 150lbs in under a year

Can we just chat about this? Prior to surgery my bm's were extremely soft (sometimes with no solidity at all) due to my poor diet and the metformin I was on for PCOS. Post op my poopz are wonderful! I haven't had the joy of taking a gigantic firm poop in over a year and am thrilled. For those of you with little maturity and a similar experience please share :]

I think it would be quite strange to have this gigantic of a life change and not constantly think about it. My life surrounds around WLS now. And for those of you who said they can't wait to stop obsessing over it, don't get your hopes up - my brother is 5 years out and still rather obsessed. Obsession is what will keep up successful

I too am afraid of failing, but feel like after all the work and tears I've put in to have this surgery I won't allow myself to. My worst habit pre-op was fast food, and now that I'm almost a month out and eating healthy I've gotten all the MSG and saturated fat out of my system and don't really want to eat unhealthy anymore (regardless that I'd get sick if I did anyways). It's all about starting and keeping good habits in the beginning so after a few years post-op when you're able to eat larger quantities and more unhealthy foods that you choose not to. The gastric bypass is not a cure for obesity, it is quite literally a "restart button" that allows you to get thin and not fuck it up again. Welcome, you're going to do great :]
