    Questions for my fellow sleevers

    Thanks for your words! I never thought I knew more though, you may have misunderstood that. What I meant was that I don't like that every bariatric doctor or nurse that I've encountered assumes that since I'm overweight, I do not have any knowledge of fitness, clean eating, Protein or portion control. They may know more but I don't think it's fair for them to make assumptions. They could indeed ask what I do know and feed off of that. I already do portion control. I meal prep on Sunday's and portion out my meals that consist of Protein, complex carbs and veggies. Thanks
  4. Hi everyone! I live in Fort Worth Texas and I am in the midst of my pre pre op requirements. Hoping to have my surgery at the end of January or beginning of February! I'm about 301 but my weight fluctuates up to 306 and back down depending on the time of month. I am at my biggest. I've been trying to lose weight for 5 years ever since I met my fiancé at 245lbs. Yep, gained 50+ pounds in 5 years. Depressing. Although I have been the most active I've ever been these last few years and eating fairly well, I still gained. I knew there was an issue so I sought out medical help and found out after blood tests and doctors appointments that I have PCOS. Anyways, my questions are: 1. Has anyone worked out vigorously before having surgery? Did it benefit you post op? I ask because I plan on continuing to work out and I thought it might be beneficial to add on to my muscle and be fairly muscular going in to surgery. I currently play roller derby and I'm on a powerlifting team. 2. Is anyone else "active fat"? I saw that on one of the topics and I was like hmm that's a good way to put it! I hate going to my weight loss appointments and being talked to like I know nothing about nutrition, Protein, working out etc. 3. Does anyone else feel that food isn't really their problem and wonder if the surgery will even work? While I don't binge eat, or drink soda, I can definitely indulge in beer and not so healthy foods, but even if I eat clean or not clean, I still remain the same weight or gain. I feel the surgery may work because the One time I did lose a sufficient amount of weight, I had been prescribed to adderall in college in 2005 and lost 60 pounds due to eating only a hamburger from the dining hall during the day and junk food late night with my roommate. Lastly, the restrictions of food might make it near impossible to lift and keep my strength. Anyone experience that? I would love to bench what I do now (275lb) at my goal weight of 173. That would be amaze balls lol

    Fun thread !

    I am looking forward to so many things!! Crossing my legs Fitting comfortable on a plane Running a 5k, 10k, marathon Shopping in the room full of clearance clothes at forever21 Wearing jeans and liking it Borrowing my fiancés clothes and not just his oversized sweatshirts Being picked up more often by my fiancé Being carried over the threshold after we wed Liking pictures that are taken of me Showing my body in pictures And really, just so much more as I have never been thin Can't wait!!
