March 2024 Surgery Buddies!
monicalee3 replied to Pines's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
March 7 surgery date. Bypass. -
Over the last 5 years I have been following on social media overweight athletes and body positivity. I have been able to run some 5ks and get my yoga teacher certification at my current weight, 252. After surgery I will not have this identity of being ’a person who moves in their large body’. I don’t hate my current weight but I know the surgery will be better for me medically. Has anyone had a similar experience?

One of my concerns is regain. I have in the past, about 10 years ago, lost 100lbs following a low carb low fat diet along with medication from my Dr. Anyone else concerned about regain?
