Let's Get This Forum Going :)
and that is exactly what I was trying to do by doing this post!!! i feel so damn depressed and I need to do something, I need to be surrounded by ladies or even men like us. Who understand what we are going through, and it's different if we are surrounded by people in person than online. I mean online support is awesome but I need real interaction, like group stuff, it seems more real that way? HOpe I am explaining myself good. Sorry I am trying to type fast, hubby and i are going out, and i jumped on here quick when i read my notification on my cell, lol. but I will get back to you on this.. i love this idea!!!!!!!! seriously!!! woohoo, I am very excited.

First Meal Out-Happy And Just Had To Share!
I totally get you!!! I look at what i call "my previous life" type of servings and think.. wow! how was I able to eat all that!!! Kind of how I use to hate when the skinny girls would look at me like "how can you eat all that!"....

First Meal Out-Happy And Just Had To Share!
When did you get sleeved? Wow! I loved the 1st dinner date I had with my hubby! it even felt romantic, I felt classy like the restaurant! lol. I was happy to fit in a booth comfortably. It was a seafood restaurant. I ordered a baked fish thing with rice and salad. I figured I will order a full dinner plate but save the left overs for the next day to come. I only had like 3 bites lol... but it was the best meal ever!!!!!

Medium Bath Towel Finally Wraps Around Me!
Lastnight after I got out of the shower, I realized the towel wrapped around me perfectly. Before it use to leave a big triangle shaped exposing my behind, lol. I ran out of the bathroom dancing in my towel. My husband giggled at me and whistled, lol. It was an awesome feeling.. just had to share another joy!

Anyone From Chicago? Weight Loss Is Depressing.....
yes, my hospital does have a support group and an online support group but... I hope I don't offend anyone. They are all way older than I am. I am 32,they are all in their 50's lol. And they are all like years into their post op. I guess the young ones are too cool to go lol

Body Wraps? Does It Really Tighten Your Loose Skin?

How Long Until Your Self-Image Changed?
I will be honest with my experience. I am 1 year 2 days post op. I have lost 69lbs, use to be 237lbs now at 168lbs. My self esteem is terrible! worse than before. I know I lost weight, but I don't see it. I still see the girl who was a 2X and not the girl who is now a 12-13. I don't feel thinner. I do feel lighter but I still see myself as a very big girl. don't get why I feel this way... I feel very disappointed, I see so many girls/ladies who have had the surgery and they look so beautiful, but I don't see me like them. sighh
