welcome. I have to ask what you have tried in order to help. I preferred Unjury early on and still drink one protein shake per day. I love the strawberry mixed with crystal light lemon aid.

Welcome. I didn't have any health issues when I started my program. I had reached 330 lbs (at 5 ft 4) and had almost zero energy and new that if I didn't do something soon it was a matter of time. It took me from February to June to work the program, get approved and have surgery. I am now at...

Sorry off topic but StinkerBelle you are so close to onederland. Congrats Now back to the topic at hand. According to my team these are considered to be full liquids in that it would fall in the category of soup in that it is food. May I suggest that if you are going to partake in ice-cream...

Welcome Ashley The decision is a big one. I chose to go for it and the only regret I have is not doing it years ago. I am now 41 but I have so much more energy than when I was 20 or even 30. I regret having my kids grow up with the big mom. Like I said my only true regret is that I didn't do it...

I don't think your BMI will drop that much. It takes many lbs to drop by one number. I am at 185 and still have a bmi of 31. I started at 330 and was told that if you are needing to loose around 100 lbs you will qualify. Don't stress over losing the weight. Your team will know exactly how much...

For me the surgery was almost to easy. I didn't take pain meds, spent two days in the hospital and was walking hours after surgery. I know this is scary but the results are amazing. Be sure to have your protein shakes and vitamins handy. Have the person driving you stop to fill any prescriptions...

I feel your pains on this one. I am not looking forward to the swimsuit shopping. Then again shopping for a suit at 330 pounds wasn't much fun either. My legs have so much extra skin that I am thinking of getting surf shorts and diving top. What did you decide to buy maybe you can give me some...

wow hate to read that. I hope you continue to push forward as sometimes the only way to change a person's mind is to show you are determined. Good luck

welcome I hope you find all the information that you need. I am 10 months out and 40lbs from goal. I have done the pouch test once to break the carb habit and will be starting it again in the morning. It helped the last time and I hope it does again. Good luck with your journey

Cloths yes please! As you drop sizes look at yourself in pictures not mirrors. I kid you not have someone take a picture of you when you don't know it. Front, back and side view pictures because it help with what is referred to as fat brain. Next look at the pictures as if they were someone...

The hair loss thing is a shock. Thank goodness that portion of my surgery is gone. Here is a little heads up of what is to come. The hair loss will stop and you will start to grow new hair. Mine was in the front so my very long hair had little short hairs popping out all over my head. Yep I...

delays are horrible I know Hopefully you will use the time to practice your new healthy life style and the extra time will make the surgery safer Best wishes

one way to look at this is to list things that you can do no vs after surgery. My list Before surgery eat and feel guilty I couldn't run and play After surgery run a 5k eat healthy Bike 30+miles keep up with a toddler take the baby down the slide wear cloths from any store (even Victoria...

Happy change While watching tv with the hubby I realized we can now share a recliner and chill. We haven't sat in the same chair for over 20 years. The thing is 140+ lbs ago I wasn't real comfortable sitting in that chair by myself. Bam snuggle time is back. Don't laugh but I can fit in my...

A past student saw me at the salon and ask if I new Mrs. B because you sound just like her. Umm it's me kid just much smaller.
