First steps of my journey



Recommended Posts

I got this app to see how others my age handled the surgury and to read some success stories. Everyone is so friendly, I feel like I have joined a community. I feel obligated to introduce my self and the beginning of my journey.

so, hi! My name is Jackki-Ryann and I am eighteen years old. I was a relatively thin child and didn't start gaining weight until I hit purberty. So at about twelve years old. Once I was in high school I weighed over 230lbs. I tried diet plans, I got a trainer, I did zumba, But things got expensive and nothing seemed to stay off. By the time I graduated I was at my heaviest 285lbs. I've highly considered surgury since I was sixteen. Now that I feel this is the best option for me, and i have saved up enough money. I am very excited to say that I just have to confirm my appointment for early may.

@@ryannryann I'm certainly older than you, but I wanted to welcome you to BariatricPal. We do have some younger members who have been sleeved or are considering it in their late teens/early 20's, so you are not alone. I hope you are able to find the information and support you are looking for here.

Hey Jackki! You definitely aren't alone on this journey! I'm 19 and just had my sleeve done on the 28th of June. So it was only a few days ago, things are going quite well so far and are a lot more manageable then I expected them to be. If you'd like to keep in contact that'd be awesome!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
