Hello, my name is Mary. I'm about to turn 20 in April, my weight has always been a pain in my ass since I was a kid. I started my journey on November 23rd, 2015, at 362lbs, I lost about 23lbs since then. But my huge problem is EVERYONE keeps asking since im soo young if there is another way to lose the weight. I keep saying I want the surgery but I feel peoples thoughts are finally getting close to me. I'm waiting for my insurance to approve me than ill have a date. Age is just a number and so is weight... I just don't know what to do since im so close.. HELP !!!

I just had my RNY on Monday (06/06/16), I have been fighting with my parents a lot since I got home from the hospital. My boyfriend and best friend were in the hospital with me and all saw everything I had to go through but they don't really understand it. I feel so alone going through this phase. I've always been a busy girl, so the fact that I can't go to work, can't drive, and can't do much of anything I'm getting angry at literally everyone and everything. I know I have people to back me up and support me, but no understands this feeling in going through of just anger. I don't regret my choice whatsoever because I know in the long run, it was worth it, I'm just so lonely with all of this. If anyone else had this feeling please let me know how you got through it. With love❤️❤️

Thank you so much everyone. Just your words helped me get through this ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you [emoji8][emoji8]

So, I am officially set for my RNY gastric bypass on June 6th (about damn time but YAYAY ), anyways, I just started my liquid diet about a week ago and I already feel like I cant do this for another 20 days (liquid diet for me is 28 days long). Was there any thing that anyone did that helped them get through this mentally and psychically? I feel like I'm going to fail at this . Any help? Much Love WLS Community, befitnotskinny

Ugh, thank you everyone, it's mean seriously helping me hard core !! ❤️❤️ only thing that sucks is my family and boyfriend is a HARD food junkie [emoji17][emoji17]

So, I just got my gallbladder out on 4/11/16, like 4 days later I got the call with my insurance approval and a surgical date. So my question, I'm already healing from my gallbladder and the gas pain is killing me, how much pain will I be in after my bypass? I think I'm just seriously nervous because of the gas pain I have no Sincerely, Befitnotfat

So I was waiting days and weeks for my insurance company to approve me, which now they didn't. I've been denied, so now I have to go through the ringer again. If I get denied the second time, I have to wait another 3 months to even get a date. I'm just so frustrated. Any help? Thanks, Mary

6 month track that I know of

They didn't have a 6 month weight watch trail so I had to get the last year of my primary doctors notes from every appointment.

Go for Rue21+ super cute stuff!

So my insurance just got sent and I'm waiting for an approval for gastric bypass, and for a set date, but the longer I wait the more and more I can feel myself drifting away from my 1400 calorie diet that my dietician put me on since November 23rd of 2015. I go to the gym about 3 to 4 times a week and I'm always very conscious about what I eat but it's like a tick, I can't control it. I've already lost around 20 to 23 in about 3ish months, depending on my period. Did anyone else have this problem??

Thank you all so much you guys put a lot of my nervous to ease away ❤️❤️

Hey! Sorry if my typing is odd, this is my first post! My first appt with my surgeon was on November 23rd, 2015, I've been with the entire type who has been helping me with my WL journey. Between November and December, I've lost 12lbs by doing the 1,400 calorie diet that my dietician put me on. Between December and today (1/13/16), I've lost another 6lbs. 18 pounds altogether in 2 months is a lot for me, well, for someone who has always had a problem with losing weight. All I am waiting for is a sleep study and my insurance to call for a date. Joyful tears, for sure because I am finally making the changes that I want to make in my life. But cold sweats because the closer and closer I get to the actual phone call, the more and more, I am getting scared and nervous and the more I keep thinking that this is such a big change for myself, am I ready? I gave up so much already, but am I ready to give it all up? Any thoughts like this? Yours Truly, befitnotskinny

God, thank you so much. That actually happened a lot!!! I never thought about it that way.
