Hello Sandyhoney. I have been dealing with my weight for almost 20 years. Finally, I have decided to go through with a roux n y procedure and my surgery date is scheduled for May 5. While I am nervous, I am more excited. I cannot wait to be healthy again, feeling good about becoming a new...

Congratulations Carebear!! I have not had my surgery yet, but it is scheduled for May 5. Listen to Ralph and Cheyenne they are wonderful and I love what they say. Keep your head up and look forward to the new you! Debbie

Thank you Cheyenne and Ralph! I am trying to get everything in my house ready so when I do have the surgery i will not freak out. I am looking forward to being healthy and not taking so many darn medicines. My pre-op appointment is on April 22 which is where I will meet my doctor one...

I hope all is well. Thank you for trying.

Hello everyone. I have officially been given my surgery date. It will be May 5, 2015. I am a mixed of emotions (excited, nervous, and maybe a tad bit scared -- scared of what??? I am not sure). I also have to have a minor surgery on May 1, 2015 for a Vena Cava Filter to be put in (my...

Hello Niseh !!! Welcome to this group. I can tell you one thing there are a lot of people in this forum with a lot of useful information and experience. Any questions you may have just ask. So I have the same issue as you "bat wings" and i have always had this issue since my weight would...

Any update?

Hello, first off I want to welcome you to this forum. I am still pretty new to it myself but all the support is absolutely wonderful. Now about you. Congratulations with you taking the first step. You wouldn't have done so if you really did not feel like you were ready. I understand you...

Thank you Dancinbr... seeing your chart helps give me the visual I needed. I guess a big part of me not only wants to be healthy but also be thinner. Let me share with you a bit of how I got so heavy. Maybe if I share my story my history of weight will make more sense. I used to weight only...

I have purchased SOBE lifewater.. it comes in many flavors, 0 calories, but has vitamins in it. For example the one I am drinking now is Black and Blue Berry (you can see through the water so its not "dark")... the bottle is 20 ounces. I love drinking water but sometimes I need a little...

Just so you know I have asked my doctor about the excessive skin and he told me to wear spandex. As we are walking or working out the spandex actually helps hold you together a bit as your body starts shrinking. I know curves has a body suit I bought my daughter one but I am also looking...

Thank you! Well i made my last appointment now I am waiting to hear when my surgery will be scheduled. I am nervous yet excited. I am a bit frustrated because it seems like I cannot lose any weight. There are many days i realized I was not hungry and only drank water throughout the day and...

Hello just checking in to see how you are feeling? I am curious as to how you are doing. Debbie

Hello everyone. I have a question and I need your help so I can understand this a bit better. I have been watching what I eat, leave my plate at first start of feeling full, do not drink anything with dinner (or 30 min before or 1 hour after).. sometimes this is hard and I need a little...

Hello. Congratulations to you on making a difference. You have made the ultimate challenge and I am sure you will be thankful you did. Previously you mentioned UNJURY products, which are excellent, you can also try Premier Protein. These are ready made drinks but only come in chocolate...

Hello Nannybelle, Congratulations, you are almost there. I will be having my surgery about 3 weeks after you and I am excited yet nervous. Anyways, I use the Premier Protein Shake which can be found online at www.premierprotein.com (which I absolutely LOVE). Premier Protein comes in...

Thank you Cheyenne! :D I appreciate the information you have provided me. It makes a lot of sense as to what you are saying. Luckily for me my gallbladder ended up getting removed about six years ago. I was on a diet and lost 70 pounds over 9 months. I felt amazing! However, I ended up...

Hello! My name is Debbie and I have been up and down with my weight for the past 15 years. I am tired of being heavy and unhealthy. I have done many weight loss programs and lost weight only for it to come back. Very depressing as we all know. So my time has come and I visited a bariatric...
