Hi! I'm a 42 yo, newbie with my surgery date scheduled. I haven't shared my journey with a lot of people because I didn't want to keep explaining or hear a lot of opinions. There is always someone that will have a negative story or comment. I decided six months ago to work toward having this surgery. Today was my first day on the pre-op diet. With every step forward, I'm more and more sure I'm doing the right thing. I'm 271 pounds, a size 22 and the mother of a four year old. Mom diabetic, I have high blood pressure and polycyclic ovarian syndrome. I think the most important question, the only important question is, what are you willing to do to be healthy. I've lost and gained significant amounts of weight. It gets harder every time so I knew I needed a tool to help me. Do what's right for you...
so how did it go
I am scheduled for the 3rd of march

Hi all, it's been forever since I have been to this page! But, I had my band in 2004, replaced due to slip in 2006, lost 90 lbs, gained 70 back from Lexipro. I revised to a RNY in 3/2009 lost 150 lbs and have kept every pound off since. Well, I had to gain 15 lbs because I was too thin, go figure! Howerver, with that said, it is still a tool. We MUST learn to use the tool, change our lifestyle of eating choices, etc. It's about moderation and work no matter what surgery you have.
Oh wow. I am over sixty and didn't have a weight problem till I took Lexapro. It got worse and worse because it made me hungry. I ballooned up to around 260#. I had the sleeve performed last Sept. I am still taking the Lexapro.......I suffer from a panic disorder. I have lost over 70#. My question to you is, are you still taking Lexapro? Are you on a different medication? I don't want the weight loss to stop and am concerned.

Ppl will always questioned things they don't understand. As an adult you owe no one an explanation as to what you are doing and why.. Do what's best for you my love?
Hello Sonya,
I am so glad to see this post from you. I too am in the same situation. I have gained approximately 40 pounds in the same amount of time and I am also having challenges. At first I was embarrassed but I realized that it has been a long journey and I am happy that I am trying to catch myself before I get back to my initial weight.
What is very interesting is your followup response to eating late at night and insomnia. Same here, and I KNOW that is where a lot of my problems are coming from. To top it off, I had an emergency full hysterectomy and trying to balance hormones and keep my weight down has been a huge issue.
I am going to look into the bariatric shakes that you are referencing.
Thanks
Clarissa
