    Guys who started over 400 lbs.

    Down 177lbs in 6months now. The best advice i can give is follow your surgeons orders to a T. Drink lots of Water and cut out all carbs and sugars. I pretty much eat Proteins and veggies. I also exercise pretty much every single day. I hope to hit my goal weight by my one year anniversary.Where do you get your proteins from and what type of exercise do you do and how long? Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App Im still doing 2-3 premiere shakes a day. I eat chicken or fish everyday and as far as exercise i walk around 4-5 miles a day with my dogs thats pretty much it.

    First Time Dating... Ever

    Dating has been difficult for me since the surgery. I was sleeved back in december and started dating in the spring. I have dated 3 different people and this last one has been going on 2months now and i think its going well. I feel like i can trust someone better that i knew before i lost all my weight. You tend to get a lot more attention now than you do before you lost the weight.
  4. 6 month post op visit this morning and i am down 177lbs. Still not at my goal yet time to kick things into high gear.

    Anxiety and being sleeved.

    I just did a google search for local therapists in my area. None took my insurance so i had to pay out of pocket but they have a sliding scale so its not awful. I go every other week and I can't for sure if its working because its still new but I'm going to give it a shot before i consider taking any medication.
  6. Pretty stoked in 6months I've lost 12"s on my waist finally ordered some jeans

      that's fabulous progress! I am 2 inches away from having a smaller waist than my husband. that will be an exciting day for me.

  7. I have been dealing with bouts of anxiety since my surgery. I'm now 6months post op and physically doing great. Down over 140lbs and i feel amazing physically but am an emotional mess. I have developed really bad anxiety. My therapist says its cognitive distortion and its almost next to impossible to control. I do have moments of clarity but they are few and far between. I have also recently started dating and having trouble being intimate with performance anxiety were before surgery i had zero issues. Has any other people have similar issues? Would love to hear your story!

    Depressed

    Talk to your PCP. It's unusual for the weight loss to trigger this at 6 months but you never know. No one should feel the need to live with anxiety - there are meds that will help and therapy is good at anytime! I am looking into seeing a therapist.
  9. Anxiety has gotten almost unbearable. Not sure if the surgery has triggered this but i never had this problem prior to surgery.

      Great idea. Can't hurt, right? I'm 5yrs out and see my therapist regularly. Best wishes to you on your WLS journey.

    Depressed

    I'am just about 6months post op and my mental health as slowly been on the decline. My anxiety is really bad with borderline panic attacks daily. I'am not sure if the surgery triggered this but i never had an issue prior.
