Mine will be 2 weeks of 1,000 calories

I haven't posted a lot , but when I read it has the feeling of everyone sitting around talking asking questions and giving answers ( like we are all sitting together in person ) I think sometimes asking a question just hits at that moment and they ask.... I mean my neighbor had a gastric bypass last week and she let me go over and pick her brain and I didn't stop to search engine we just talked. I'm very excited that I'm getting the opportunity for the gastric bypass and I actually love reading as much as possible..... The same questions even lol that way they are getting drilled into my head lol anyway not ranting just my 2 little cents! Have a wonderful week all????????

No it isn't the easy way out! I'm half way through my six months of all the insurance requirements . Just met my surgeon Friday , all the work that must be done to make it work before and after definitely isn't easy!

Ok what is nsv ?? Great thread just curious to the meaning of NSV

I just got my phone call for my first appointment with my surgeon! I'm so stoked I already completed the seminar online! And have been doing the physical therapy , NUT, and counseling since August! It's coming so real ????

I currently only wear 3x loose fit black yoga pants.. Not tight yoga's by any means, jeans just squish and pinch in all the wrong places. But I would be a 22-24 in jeans. I think after my surgery I'll stick to yoga's until weight loss slows down. I hate shopping! Lol but I think after I get down and I have all that energy I'll love shopping again, congratulations on all your successes ???????? I can't wait to be going through these kinds of problems. Reading the forums is just getting me more excited.

I still have a ways to go to get the surgery and my significant other mentioned what I am doing to a friend of his and he swore I don't look like I need to lose enough weight for surgery lol we just got a big giggle out of it, I had only met him a few times so I actually liked the fact that's size was not something he noticed ???????? so far everyone I have told has been excited for me..

Hello everyone, I am on my 6 month journey to get the gastric bypass ( at least that's the one I want) I've seen my dietician , physical therapist, and counselor for a month now so ( more to go. My biggest challenge is the amount of weight I have to loose. I was 292 when my doc submitted my paperwork to insurance so that is the weight they go by..... But..... I then quit smoking and my weight shot up to 317 but they are going by 5% of my body weight of submitted paperwork!! I'm currently 298 almost back to prior quit smoking still have like 22 pounds to go.

I smoke since I was 13 and I'm now 42 it helped a lot

My doctor gave me Zyban to quit, hope I spelt that right. Anyway I took it for a month each week cutting my amount I would smoke a day starting with week one 20 a day week two was 15 a day and so on... I had gym through the house and car and walk when it got bad. Still gained weight but I made it. Oh and my favorite app for tracking calories fat carbs ect.. Is mynetdiary love it keeps me on track my NUT was impressed with it.

Oh and how do you edit your profile? So far I have only figured out how to add a profile pic everything else says I haven't added it yet hehe
