How wonderful!!!! Congrats!!!!!!

I’m very excited for you! My surgery is 8/12 & holy cow 10 days away & it’s gotten really real. A bunch of excitement mixed with a bit of nerves. When I look at all the pics from everyone on the OOTD I really get excited to be healthy again & buy clothes based on style instead of just covering up!!!! Best of luck to you! Keep in touch with all your progress. I’ll start following you!!!!

I LOVE pb2 ever since I was on WW

Hi! Probably a dumb question (I’m old :-) what does “left the band” mean?

Good to hear. I went to my nutritionist yesterday because I felt I wasn’t doing my pre-op well enough. She told me I was fine. I think I was just OVERthinking things. I just have chill out a little. Glad to hear post op you’re not interested in certain foods. How are you doing now ?

You seem to be doing really well. 45 min 2x a day on treadmill seems like being in the olympics to me. :-). My surgery is 10 days away but my biggest fear are blood clots too so I’ll definitely be walking.

Opps! Sh$@ happens !! Glad you made it through & glad you got through it.

I’m 10 days away from bypass but at some point in the future would like to have some wine. What type of alcohol did you have?

When I’m able.... I’ll start With PB2

Happy Birthday to you!!!! Onward & upward to a wonderful year!!!

I’m going through a different twist on this. My bff & I are both obese. When we started our friendship over 25 years ago we were both a little overweight but we’d walk together every morning, went for massages together & of course out to eat often. We didn’t see each other for 2 years during my divorce. When we reconnected she had put on 100 lbs. she’s been obese for many years & for whatever reason never does anything about it. I’ve been in WW for years. I’ve lost a lot of weight back & forth. I’ve never been happy or content being over weight & im always working on doing better. I’m the one who’s changing & moving away from her. It hurts. I love her soo much but I’m feeling like I want some space from her constantly talking about all her physical ailments for years now. It’s overwhelming. I feel as though I’m always working toward becoming the best I can be. She doesn’t really have an interest in that. For myself, personally, I want to be healthy in mind, body & soul. I don’t want to talk about her sicknesses all the time & her drs appointments. Again.... I feel terrible that I feel this way but I’m struggling every day to be positive & proactive with my health etc. We love each other & will always be there for each other . Im just feeling a need to be around people that are like minded. It’s soo difficult when we change & grow because it does affect our relationships. Makes me sad

Hi Kristie! I identify with everything you’ve said. I too am having my surgery 8/12/19. I just got home from meeting with my nutritionist one on one. I called the meeting with her because , although I’m thrilled & excited, I was also getting overwhelmed with everything. She completely calmed my fears. Is anyone on your team available to meet with you one on one? I’m figuring I’m going to utilize as much support as I need in order to feel comfortable. Let’s stay in touch since we’re both in the timeline process together.. :-)

AWESOME outfit! Love those shoes & white pants! I CANT WAIT to be able to wear such great clothes again! Looks like you had a successful shopping trip!!!

I’m also stating at 235 lbs & I used to be 5’3 but was informed I’m now 5’2. Sux because when you’re on the shorter side..... every centimeter counts! Haha! I pray I can get down to 120 lbs. That’s my goal weight. You’re a great inspiration!!!

Omg!!! You look FABULOUS!!!!! I can not wait to wear white everything!! 😄

Hi everyone! I live on Long Island NY. Having bypass 8/12/19. Would love to find a buddy on Long Island. I can’t find support groups .

Omg I love the gingham pattern from old navy!!!! Can not wait to wear pants like this!

Wow weee! My nutritionist/surgeon seem so laxed compared to most. Best of luck! When’s your surgery?

Ok..... I’m proud of myself. I just made a protein shake & it’s replacing my late breakfast . It’s good to be honest & hold myself accountable. Ty guys for your support it means a lot. I don’t have much support from those closest to me so this forum really helps!

Thank you!

I’m still eating 3 meals. No sugar, nothing bad , no binging but still eating 3 meals. My dr & Nutrionist haven’t put many restrictions on me so I think I’m being too lackadaisical. I’m sharing my truth because I know it will help to keep me accountable! On another note.... aren’t you sooo excited? I’ll follow you & perhaps we can keep up to date on each other’s progress progress !!! 😄

Thank you so much. This is the place to be honest . I know that once I’ve been honest then I can & will do better. What you’ve said is the truth.

I’m starving!!! Lol Honestly I’m struggling. Not being as diligent as I should be. Normally I have great discipline. Congrats to you for being so diligent even if you are starving you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Ok.. my goal will be starting tomorrow I’ll buckle down. I’m supposed to be doing 2 meals 1 shake. Next week... 2 shakes 1 meal. Are you on all liquids right now? I wonder if there are different requirements for pre surgery weights?

Sounds pretty darn good to me! It’s daily but not all day . How is that a problem? Usually when someone makes a comment to me about something I’m either doing or not doing I weigh what they’ve said & see if it applies. You know yourself best. You know if it’s truly a problem or not!

Is there any chance that they could be jealous of your success ? Just interesting how when you were doing negative things they didn’t say a word but now that you’re doing positive things they’re on you. I’m no shrink but it Sounds to me that you’re in a good head space
