  1. After some advise and help please. I am getting the VSG in Decmeber and I'm trying to get myself in the best physical shape I can so the surgery will hopefully go smoothly. I am a self pay patient in Australia so i don't have any weightloss requirements before the surgery goes ahead, but I just want to make my body as ready for this as it can be. I'm 5'8 and 375lbs and trying to hopefully get down to 350lbs for surgery. I've been tracking my food and activity with my Fitbit and I'm averaging 1000+ cal deficits everyday for a month. The thing is I'VE GAINED WEIGHT!! [emoji24][emoji34] This ALWAYS happens when I try to lose weight and it's so discouraging. I feel like an utter failure and now I'm wondering if I should even have the surgery. How will I manage to lose weight after surgery and keep it off if I can't do this now? Did anyone else have this trouble before surgery? I dont know anyone else who has had any weightloss surgery so I can't ask anyone else these questions. Thank you for your time.
  2. Thank you both for your input, I appreciate it
  3. My last straw has been feeling as though my body is deteriorating at 27. I feel old and tired all the time, like a 70 year old with bad knees and a bad back. I don't want to feel like this at 27! I actually had no idea that I would be eligible for WLS at 170kg (375lbs) because I'd only seen extremely big people on My 600lb Life get surgery. It was only when the dietician recommended me seeing a surgeon that I starting thinking about WLS.
  4. 16 year old me: If you think you're "fat" and "hideous" now, just wait till you're 27! It gets much, much worse before it gets even the slightest bit better. Get ready for a rough decade.

    Smoking

    I quit 7 years ago and when I'm stressed I still have dreams about smoking. My nutritionist used to smoke too and she said the dreams will go away in the next 10 years or so [emoji23]
