Hi, all! I had my surgery may 2016 and am doing great!(sw 347 cw 265) However, I am still struggling trying to find a form of exercise that I actually like! In the summer I I lean towards water sports (swimming, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding,) but those are not easily accessible all the time! I am trying to find a "normal," accessible exercise routine that I actually like! I have tried YOGA and Jogging and many youtube videos, but I'm still struggling! Could I just not be using the right tools/videos? Any input is greatly appreciated!

I feel like I have no friends and am having trouble making friends... my best friend has become toxic and is moving away... I feel like I only maintained that relationship because I was scared of being alone... and now I actually will be... in 20y/o and a sophomore in college. I fell like people passed judgment on my size last year and that's why I had no one, but I don't know what to do anymore... I don't want to be friends with people who only like me b/c I lost weight, but I am scared to be alone.... I don't mean to rant... but I'm upset and nervous and scared... anyone on this site ever have a similar experience and tips? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How was the beginning of c25k for you? I'm starting tomorrow and I'm so anxious!

Hi all! I am sarah! I am a 19y/o from New York, but currently attending college in Ohio! I had my RNY in May of this year, and made major strides! Started at 347lbs and now down to 269! I have lately been starting some of my old habits back up and overeating! I think it is due to benign home for the holidays, but I want to get back on track RIGHT NOW! I have signed up for a 5k in April and want to start training for that, and overall, want to start working out more! Does anyone want to take on the task of being my mentor and support system?! Thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Lol! I am not ashamed to say that I have used that mantra once or twice! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thank you for the kind words! It makes me feel a million times better! It's good to know I do have some people on my side!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for the awesome words of encouragement! I am at a very low point right now. I was trying to be social and go out for dinner with some people tonight, and while waiting, I grab a table for us... everyone walked past the table I got and sat away from me. I was all alone again.. I had to get up and leave because I was going to cry and didn't want to embarrass myself Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Sometimes I think transferring schools would be the best because then I could start without judgment. But I do love the school itself... i feel so defeated right now... I worked so hard to get to this point, and I feel like I should feel better about myself. But I just don't.

Was looking for support and found this thread! Almost like fate! I need help! I "binged" today... of course it's not like I at a TON, but still not what I want!! I don't know what to do anymore when I get those insatiable cravings! Any tips?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey all, I am so grateful for your help and wanted to keep ya updated! I actually just reconnected with two people I used to be best friends with in high school! I figure that's a good place to start since I won't be going back to college for another few weeks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the response! I am considering joining some clubs, I'm just nervous of being rejected! I am making the resolution of putting myself out there! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you bubbles! I appreciate that a lot. My "best friend" transferred schools. And even though she was toxic, at least I had someone... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dear Vets, please don't leave us! Sure, I may be 7 months post op, but I still want and need your help! I know some people can be rude and respond to criticism poorly, but there are so many of us who deeply value your input! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So my sister had the surgery the same time as me. We started at different weights (her a little less than me) and she rubs it in my face constantly that I'm "fatter." I went boot shopping and nothing fit my calfs and that was just more ammo! Idk what to do anymore... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! Would any of you mind sharing your daily food intake, preferably without Protein powder! I get sick every time I eat/drink it, so looking for options! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! I'm 19, turning 20 soon! I had RNY in May and am hitting a rough patch and restarting some bad habits! I'm looking for an email buddy or pen pal as a mentor and support system for each other! I figure it'd be good to talk to someone my own age(ish) about this lifestyle and would love to chat and talk! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! Doing great! Started at 347 and down to 265! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The past few days I have ad trouble holding food down and work has been an absolute nightmare! Back pain leg/knee/ankle pain, and I am woozy from not being able to eat! I work today and am off for a few so let's hope I can get through it...[emoji29] I am also considering taking B-12 for energy because I am constantly tired no matter what!

What have y'all been doing for exercise? I am a bit discouraged when I think about it and need some help!

Well... I had dumping last night... I had some chicken and half an egg... Throwing up everywhere.... Now I am scared to eat anything! NSV- I am able to weigh myself on the scale at home rather than a heavy duty doctors scale! The good balances out the bad I guess...

I'm on soft foods.. My doc said no raw fruit and veggies for a while tho!
