Hey Johnny! My date is January 15. I've been eating clean and exercising. I weight my self monthly but I've gone down quite a bit. I was to reach 245 by surgery date. I'm at most 257 right now. I freaking love lifting but I don't know what they hell I'm doing. I don't have the tits to hire a trainer right now. Someday. Right now it's youtube, some dumbells I bought on Craigslist, resistance bands, an roller, and desk elliptical. I enjoy the ache of tired muscles. Now if only I loved the ache runners feel I'd love cardio. How can I get past that stitch in my side? I'd love to run regualry someday. But what I really want muscle! I'm young enough to still want to be Ms America, hell even Ms Wakanda! Keep it up! Id love to follow your progress! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Will that's BS to the highest degree. Did they say why they couldn't repair the hernia? Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Careful you're beginning to sound like a socialist. You know how evil we are. *eye roll* Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

dang, Even I found myself cringing while reading this, and I have zero sensitivity when it come to "gore" That was a horrible experience sis! Must have took some damn fine fortitude to make it where you are today, and you're still doing it! I probably would have used that as an excuse to fall back to poor habit. I hate you're suffering. I'm glad you're hear to tell us about it.

oh gods, nothing like the Internet to reinforce the idea that most humans suck hot donkey balls. I commend the few that don't.

You look absolutely fab! How do oyu feel?

You're right! Then add in some tomatoes juice, and little lime, drop or two of Worcestershire, and just a bit of cyanne pepper. Don't forget the vodka!

May I have those recipes? They both sound smashing!

Challenge Starting weight: My current weight is unknown I last weighted myself a week ago. I was becoming obsessed with the scale so I had to take it to the basement behind the furnace. I feel so free! I'll weigh myself the morning of my next MD appointment. December 27th Current weight lost: 23lbs Losing or maintaining weight: losing Fitness/exercise goal: I bought this awesome desk elliptical thingy called Cubii jr. I love it! I use it at my desk all day. I'm gonna have legs like Tina Turner! I also do upper body weight training with resistance bands. Total weight loss at the end of challenge: (Post January 1st 2019) Check in: Tell us how you are doing - (How is your diet and exercise plan going? Any struggles? Stress level? What have you overcome? Any strategies that have helped) Right now I'm still pre op. I've been approved and I'm awaiting surgery January 15. I'm really good at losing a lot of weight because I practice IF. Problem is I don't stick with it. Knowing I'm going to have surgery has made sticking to a good diet really easy. I put myself on a kinda Optifast diet. Lots of clean protein shakes and 1 meal. I consume about 800 calories a day, very little carbs. My goal is to be 245 on my day of surgery!

I did a quick Google search about this. Man! I can't believe that **** weasel of a butcher is still practicing medicine! He is foul! If I were a terrible person I'd wish he's meet a butcher of equal evil in a dark alley. Oh wait I'm not good, I'm Sin! Yay! Now I can hope he gets a lobotomy!

That's just unacceptable! I'm so sorry you have to wait that long. Maybe you can reserch other clinics int the area? Let them know what's going on. You won't have to redo those six months as long as your current office releases the medical records to your new office. Think of it this way. Would you wait 5 months to fix your car that could die at some point? Or would you find a new mechanic? You are so much more important then any car sis!

Manic depression, and of course all the aches and pain that come with being morbidly obese. I'm pretty fucked up. Had to partially lie to the shrink during this entire process.

My date used to be December 5th but my insurance company denied me due to Cannibas use. They said I'd have to be off for a year before they'd consider an approval. I said no f**king way and appealed on the grounds that I'm licensed medical marijuana patient. Took about a week due to the holiday before I called and got the decision. Approved. Damn right. My doc got the ball rolling and my new date is January 15. Good luck everyone!

Lesbian sleever here! Surgery is in January. Can't wait!

I'm from Michigan as well! I live in the Southeast. My surgery date in January and I'm beyond excited.

No all strains of cannabis cause the munchies. But I can see where that would be an issue for some. I myself have been working hard as hell post op. I want to be as small as possible with a great exercise routine before my surgery in January. So far so good! No issues in regards to muchies for many reasons. I know I don't allow myself food after a certain time point blank. 2 I don't keep unhealthy munchie food where I have access too it. You just have to work on personal willpower (not you personally ^.^ ) I'm still working on mine!

I'll definitely have my proper medicine on hand after my surgery. It's legal where I am as well. I have the pleasure of growing my own meds and I grow organic. They can keep the painkillers because once I leave the hospital I wont need them. I myself love being stoned but I hardly ever get that high these days. To many responsibilities. No one would have an idea that I'm high unless I told them. My doctor knows I vape. He knows I will continue to do so. No reason to lie to your doctor. They work for you

god. Back in the good old days some people got all up in arms simply because someone use the "wrong" drinking fountain. Now it's bathrooms. Sorry but there were no good old days.

I never got the big deal about this. eNot just here either but every forum in existence has people that hate this. I completely get if you're not adding anything of value to an old post then don't. If you do by all means necro that thread! The reason I say that is because it's usually forums that have been around for YEARS. The moment you ask a questions or post a topic it's "did you search for this answer?" Most of the time the answer is the first thing that pops up in a google because it's a popular question. Of course that thread may be active for months to come. Long after the OP is gone. I'd rather see a necro thread than see same thing posted over a over.

Ive not had my procedure yet but I hope I do feel some hunger every few hours or so once ive healed up some. That just sounds normal.

I won't be surprised if most doctors and hospitals still have their own "bariatric program" They'll probably be similar in length just to stay competitive. Ultimately a lot of customers/patients are going to be looking at going to whatever place can get them to surgery day the quickest.

Just wanted to thank to thank Creek for this post. Really good information and research links. Will definitely be saving this for when I'm in maintenance planning my long-term eating habits. Please kee[ right now wacking that dead horse. I need this info. Thank you.

Find an online calculator that will estimate your Max heart rate for exercise. Of course, you're going to want to get a heart rate monitor for exercise so you can track your rate. You want to stay in that target zone for as you work out. When you're out of shape you'd be surprised how little you have to exert yourself to bring your heart rate up to that fat burning zone. The opposite is true if you're more in shape

I wonder if It would work with a Rick Simpson oil mixture? That way instead of it smelling like a bowl of ****, it'll smell like a bowl of Vanilla Kush!
