Total 120# lost, obese my whole life. Just had a tummy tuck and breast done a few weeks ago. Everything has been great and I am so happy with my results but out of nowhere a few days ago I realized how incredibly sad I was for all those years I spent h

Ok so I have been obese my entire life since I was about 5-6 years old. In total since surgery I have lost 120lbs and I feel great! I look great and I have so much more energy. However, sometimes when I look at myself or look at my hands, legs, thighs

Ok this might be more of a rant... I'm 5 months post op down 62lbs since surgery (gastric sleeve) and 115lbs down in total. I walk everyday. I stick to the bariatric diet most days.... taking all my vitamins most days of the week. Ok if I hike 10 miles

Hey guys just wondering if any has had experienced travelling after surgery. I'm 2.5 months out (down 44lbs) and next month I will be in Mexico for a trip and then China for three weeks. I'm thinking bringing protein powder to mix will be my best bet t

Ok so I am only a few days post op and everything seems to be going great with the exception of last night and tonight I've been waking up with horrible nausea and extremely restless. I get up to walk around, use the restroom, and I tried sipping some

Ok so call me crazy but a few days ago I did a boudoir photo shoot pre-surgery. It is something I have always wanted to do but, always told myself "when i'm smaller, thinner, at my goal weight. When i'm more pretty, less curves, no blemishes" blah blah

Im staying at my parents pre-surgery since I live out of state (my surgery is monday!). Both my parents keep bringing home food, ice cream, candy and telling me I can have it. I keep telling them I am trying to loose weight but more importantly that I

Here is am boarding my flight to head to the state I'm going to have my surgery in. I land tonight at 930pm and my preop is tomorrow. As I made my way down the aisle all I could think about is "one...

I am incredible excited and nervous about my surgery (Jan 18th!) and in the mean time I have been reading a few books and was wondering if others had any suggestions of ones they liked related to weightless, weight loss surgery, emotions or behaviors r

Ok so I finally got the approval from my insurance company and a date scheduled (Jan 18th!) for my gastric sleeve. I am just having some second thoughts on if I want to tell people beforehand. I told my best friend and was hoping for a more supportive

I am waiting to find out if my insurance is going to approve my surgery and its driving me absolutely bonkers. I have spent the last two years reading, studying, re-visiting the topic of surgical weightless and I finally, finally have decided to pursue
