Any suggestions? I am struggling to make gym going a habit. I enjoy it when I go but struggle to keep going. Also have any suggestions as to what works best while There? I feel lost there too lol. HW: 285 SW: 255 CW:

This gives me hope for the lower weight! You look amazing. I would have never guessed that was you in the first picture if I saw you now!! I'm only down 30 lbs since surgery but 57 all together. HW: 285 SW: 255 CW:

I don't think they will I have Medicaid and feared they wouldn't approve it in time for my surgery. If you've done everything you've had to do to qualify then they would rather you get the surgery. So you can be healthier and cost them less in the long run. I just drank muscletech protein I got from sams club here. GNC has a lot of proteins as well. They recommended for me to have less than 200 calories, less than 5 sugars. Whatever you buy you can also use for protein pudding whenever you get to you full liquid portion of post op. I've noticed that every surgeons recommendations are different but it is a good way to supplement with something sweet (sugar free) and still get protein in. I'm here if you have any questions. I too am 28 granted I am 5'9 and was at 285 when I began my whole adventure back in November. I'm feeling better every day and that's what matters. HW: 285 SW: 255 CW:

I'm 13 days out and have lost about that in weight lol. I've lost about a lb a day since I was able to weigh myself at home. HW: 285 SW: 255 CW:

You will get there had to do most of that myself just different situations and such. I am 2 weeks out from surgery. And i will say I am already feeling better even. Already down 13 lbs. Something to look forward to. HW: 285 SW: 255 CW:

It's great to see this. Plus the fact of no skin removal which brings hope that it isn't always needed! HW: 285 SW: 255 CW:

I am 28 (bday coming up so....technically 29) and just had my surgery on the 23rd of May. It's always nice to meet people who share similar things even if it is just striving to feel better In a ginormous amounts of ways. I plan to try and have a other baby some time after a year post op. Among other things of course which includes actually being able to hike in the Rockies without dying half way through the walk. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I know I am in this Same boat save i have a 5 year old but have been struggling since I she was 2. I'm going to be 29 this year and I had her at 23... I had my surgery on the 23rd of this month. Good luck with everything and as far as I've been reading through posts. As long as it's 12 months or later post op it's best but some have gotten pregnant right away and still managed to come out at the end alright. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I had to go to a 6 week class on diet and such. Before even able to see the surgeon. And the classes were led by a dietitian. I had a week clears started a full liquid yesterday (which does include pudding and mashed potatoes and cream soups) the after a week I start soft and moist for 3 weeks then on 7th week post op it's solid food from there on out. At 6 months I can start adding in salads and raw veggies. Til then the have to be cooked some how. Every program is different. Not told no carbs but they do say rice,bread and a few others expand in stomach and can cause pain but this was taught for both surgeries and the diet is the same for both. I had rny instead of the sleeve. Good luck everyone. And may you journey be a great one Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I think restaurants are necessary Should have options as to what level post op you are. I have a week clears a week full liquids 3 weeks soft and moist then after week seven solids. Should have suggestions for a day and reminders for water and such. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I use baritastic app but even it seems hard to add food in the small amounts we do. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I am very glad to hear that. I've compared pictures of myself and I see a bigger difference now then a year ago when I was attempting once again to get on the right track Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi my name is Kassandra and this is my journey. I just got home today from the hospital after getting gastric bypass. I have been struggling with weight for more than 10 years in the 200lb range. I reached my heaviest twice in my 20s and it was the second time that I knew I needed more help then I was getting through other diets and exercise programs. They helped but only a little. I worked on getting surgery once before but due to insurance issues it never happened but this time....this time it happened and as much as I hurt right now I know it will be worth it all. I started my journey at 285lbs and when I was weighed at the hospital I was at 255lbs. It's amazing how nearly a year had passed before getting where i am now. I know it will be a tough road but now I have a power tool to help me out to get me where I need to be. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I had to go through 6 months of monthly calls or appointments with a dietician or my doctor or someone in the surgery department. Then... had to get a mental health exam and then 6 weeks of classes and a final mental exam before even meeting with the surgeon. I am on week 5 of my classes so hopefully sometime in May I'll get to meet with surgeon and then it'll be 2 to 6 weeks maybe til I can do the surgery. I am both excited and nervous but it is just a tool for success right?

I don't think that is true. Plus the surgery team will keep tabs on all that but from what I've learned in the classes I am required to take prior to surgery you lose about 80% of what you need to lose. If you are under a certain bmi then you aren't a candidate. After a year or when you get to goal weight the calorie intake goes up. I have about 115 to lose and I don't fear losing too much. Just take what fat loss there is and build muscle to counter that and all shall be good.
