Hey ! Im an apple shape too and there ARE advantages- like nice legs which are a Very hard spot for most people to lose from .
We have an accountability thread on the RNY board where a ton of us post our menus and planned exercise every day and also our failures.
It really helps me at least realize what in my life is overall wrong ( like huge amounts of stress in my case) that lead to overeating and under exercising.
Many of us also work with a therapist in order to live our best lives .
Regarding food - I would try eating as clean as possible for a few days and posting and meanwhile researching weigh****chers ( and other plans ) which work for maintenance for many Bariatric veterans- and obtaining the fitness equipment , music and outfits to encourage daily exercise and then starting .
Walking is FANTASTIC and safe and you dont even need sneakers to do it just normal clothes and comfortable shoes.
I try to get out there in midday even in the winter for an hour or so calling it my lunch break !
(((()))) hugs - weve all felt the way you described!
Youre here now and yes you can come back even better and healthier and leaner ( if you prefer) from this !
First thing: forgive yourself. You're human.
2: get back on track. Either go back to basics with your surgery type, try WW (or some other kind of eating plan like the Mayo Clinic diet, etc)
3) What ever you do for exercise, start. It doesn't matter if it walking, water aerobics, etc.
4) Revision?
5) Is therapy an option?
and finally

I gained 70 lbs most of which is fat on my stomach. My waist is 44inches on a skinny day. I weigh about 180 lbs I was 110to135 till 2 years or so ago. I just stopped caring what I ate and porked up to this. I know abdominal fat is particularly dangerous and I snore really bad now and my knees and ankles hurt and I get outta breath after like 3 stairs. I don?t know if I?m technically obese enough to get help, but I look it. Mi body fat is almost 50% and my fat waist I thought mite qualify me but I?m so embarrassed. I have no good reason for getting so fat . What?s a visit like if u go to your pcp for a fat belly?
Never heard of spanakopita before. It sounds yummy FinallyBecomingMe.
When I really need to chow down on something and can't help myself I reach for rough oat crackers smothered in hoummus.
And, often not the low fat variety.
Youre in NY now right?
I can recommend a wonderful Bariatric team for you in Manhattan who have an entire floor at one of the best hospitals in NY.
They will work with you to immediately get insurance approval and will do everything your insurance requires counseling, blood test, heart test wise on site and quickly. Dr. Parikh the head surgeon has over 15 years daily experience and he did an amazing job on me both with the surgery but particularly with caring followup.
Every six months I receive a text that its time for my blood draw and the detailed results are painstakingly explained to me and vitamins prescribed if i need them.
In addition the team helps qualify their patients for panniculectomies , medically necessary skin removal sand lymphodema treatment without insurance complications and again in the safest and best hospital without copays if at all possible
After weight loss surgery, I got rid of my depressive state. My mental and emotional health finally normalized. In addition to my physical health problems, being overweight harmed my self-esteem, social standing, and thoughts in general. Owning a new body, I found mental peace. In addition, I decided to get a dog to normalize my psychological state. It is scientifically proven that animals help cope with a heavy mental state. At esaregistration.org, I found answers to many questions concerning such animals. They are salvation for many people who think there is no way out.
It is not a problem to take the pills after the operation; the only thing you should be concerned about is compatibility with the medical preparations you?ll be taking after the operation (if you?ll need them). However, you have nothing to worry about if you have talked about this with a doctor, and he said it would be okay. Talking about protein shakes, the same situation.
You should probably be more nervous about what might happen if you don't have the surgery. It's a lot higher risk to your family.
One thing the nurse told me before I had my surgery that stuck with me ~ All patients are nervous and results vary, but in her 20 years of working in the field, no one has ever asked for the fat back.
Mortality rate on RNY is 0.3%. It's even lower on sleeve (I can't remember exactly what it was since I was an RNY patient, but i do remember it was lower). That means you have a 99.7% or better chance of not dying on the table. And you won't. A common fear, but it almost never happens. You have a much greater chance of dying of an obesity-related complication than you do not making it through bariatric surgery.
