Thank you all

Congratulations on your weight loss. Great job. How long did it take you to get to your current weight?

My surgery is Tuesday, I'm feeling the exact same way. I've been having crazy panic attacks all weekend. I spent hours googling the risks of the surgery and anesthesia cause I'm terrified of not waking up. I'm only 28, I have no comorbidities, and I've gotten my BMI down to 40 throughout the process, but I'm still so scared something could go wrong. I'm trying to be in good spirits for the sake of my family (who is panicking just as much!) but jeez it's hard. I don't think I'll be getting much sleep for the next couple of days! Hi. I know exactly how you feel. I had my surgery on May 2015 and it was my first experience in a hospital. I didn't sleep at all. I'm thankful my DR gave me a cd to listen called preparing for surgery and it just lets you relax and think positive. I'm thankful I had no issues during or after surgery. I'm very thankful for my experience. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask. I attached a recent pic to show my results. SW 320. CW 200

Hi. How are you? I started the gym after Labor Day. Prior to that I did a lot of walking. I bought a garmin vibosmart to keep track of my movement. As for food I ate a lot of homemade turkey chili with slot of beans for protein . Granola bars have become my snickers bars and sugar free Popsicle are my new treat. I love this.

Wow how much did you lose you look great!120lbs in 6 months

Thanks. My DR told me I would lost about 80 in a year so I way past that in half the time. My person goal is to lose 10 - 15 lbs but those last ten don't want to go away but it's more because I'm at the gym so I'm building muscle mass. Yes I am thank you so much.

Thank you

The patches cost $19.99 My DR gives me a B-12 injection every 5-6 weeks. Other than that nothing else. At times I cut the patch in half because my body is absorbing all of it and I have too much vitamin D.

I'm 6 months post op I been using multivitamin patches from PATCHmd.com. Just a daily patch. I go for for 6 month following on Tuesday with my nutritionist. But I've been getting blood from my PCP and she tells me my body is doing well

Congrats.

Hi. How are you? Where are you from? As for your question, I'm 6 months post op , Puerto Rican and I loved my rice and beans lol. I can say I still enjoy the great flavors we have in the beans and would have a spoon of rice maybe once a month just to get rid of the urge. It does me me feel full faster but again it's once a month. I didn't try rice until after 16 weeks post op. Heres a recent pic from yesterday SW 320. CW 200

Try sleeping on your backs with a good size pillow under your legs. It helped me a lot.

It takes time. Never lose focus.

Look into New York Presbyterian on 168th street in Manhattan. They have a great group that will help from beginning to end .

Thanks.
