Looking for an accountability partner who I can be Facebook/texting friendly with! I had gastric bypass in March of 2015, and initially got to my lowest weight of 179. However, my current weight is 205. My husband and I have finally reached a point where we want to have a baby but I also don't want to start out at the weight I currently am. I've fell of the weight loss motivation wagon and need someone to help me get back to where I want to be. It's definitely taking a hit and I've been more depressed than I've been since my surgery. I'd like to lose 50 lbs at least! Please let there be a friend out there!

I had gastric bypass 6/8/15. My SW was 248, LW 175 (for a hot minute) now I'm up to 201. I was 185 in May when we had to put my beloved rescue dog to sleep. It was the most traumatic thing I've ever been through. I still have my emotional/boredom/anxiety/pain eating issues and need to work on those in therapy, but here I need to get back on track with my eating, and following the rules, like no drinking half an hour before, after and during meals, and not eating until I'm past full. Plus I need to plan and make better food choices. I'm working with a new nutritionist, have a therapist and workout at a great gym, but I need daily support and accountability if I'm going to lose these last 20 pounds. It looks like I found a good group!

Hi, I had RNY 12/26/16. I'm only down 20 pounds! Need help!!

I started to say I lost weight slowly too and you're right on track but I did the math and realized I lost 40lbs within the first two months, so I'm wondering if you should check with your surgeon. I have a couple questions.

How much weight do you have to lose? What's your start weight and goal weight?

What's your age? I just turned 50 and was going through menopause. I had a partial hysterectomy five months after surgery and now am on HRT.

Are you hitting ur Protein and Fluid goals?

Hi my name is Jenny and I just had my bypass on Feb 16, 2017. I had the surgery mainly so my husband and I could have a baby. I think we could help each other. You can find me on Facebook under Jennifer (Edelman) Anderson. Or email me at jen8984@yahoo.com.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
