tHANKS FOR THE INFO

I'll be three years out in November... I did start gaining weight in november (30lbs) but that was due to medication, depression, and chronic pain..

about a week ago I started going back to the basics and have already lost 10lbs... only 20 more to go!!


Why do you ask hun?

 wOW jESSICA HOW HAS THE jOURNEY BEEN FROM GETTING APPROVED POST OP pROTEIN SHAKES AND THE vITAMINS HAVE U BEEN ABLE TO MAI NA GOOD WEIGHT ?

iM SCHEDUKED FOR MU SURGERY 4/25 ANY SUGGESTIONS

First off... CONGRATS on your surgery!!! Buckle up hun, its a WILD ride!!!

I couldn't really handle the protein shakes (most can) they made me nausious..... untill I found the atkins premade shakes.... thats what I used for a year or so

Now, I can drink protein shakes

Yes, I've been able to maintain a good weight. When I gained the 30lbs... I was 140, as of this morning I was 130... I wanna get back to 110 so I can bounce between 112-117lbs as thats what my warbdrobe (sizes) constist of, I took a multivitamin, but had to do so on a full tummy.

My strongest suggestion is that as soon as you are cleared to work out, do so!! It helps w/the loose skin and go****s great for the mind, body, and soul... I promise it is.

Some relationships MAY become astrayed so get ready ffor that

Stick to the guidelines,,,, remeber, you are paying for a life altering surgery to finally win the battle from obesity. This is a TOOL not a miracle worker. You have to do your part is you want the results

If you EVER have any questions please feel free to send me a message and I would bemore than happy to try and help the best I can :)

Goodluck darlin!
