You are gonna have to take back the control on the sweets. Be more careful and try to do better. Tomorrow is a new day. I hope you fell better

I have been where you are. It is going to be okay. I too feel as though I am "the fat one". I am the biggest in my family and I hate when i get around certain members and they say..God you have gotten bigger or You need to hurry up and do something. I feel so ashamed. I am sure that your family is not harsh like mine, but I know how if feels to think that all "eyes" are on you and how much u may have possibly gained. I have isolated myself from so many social events due to my weight. My family has get togethers all the time and I will make up any and every excuse not to go. To be honest I have purposely scheduled myself for work on specail events so that I will not have to attend. That way, I wont have to feel as bad about it because I can just say "I have to work'. Make this year the last year that you allow yourself to feel this way. Cheer up. Next year around this time you will be a force to be reckoned with!!!! Go knowing that you are about to make a life change very shortly and enjoy the time that you are about to spend with them. Keep us posted on how it went. I too have not lost any pre weight. I was discouraged as well. Its okay. Everyday is a new day. It is all part of your process. You may not have lost the weight before hand, but just prepare for what is about to become. You are going to be okay. Looking to hear from you soon

Thanks for replying. I dont have to start over the weight loss process all over. By me going back and forth to the hospital this year..all that money is not going to go towards my new deductible. So instead of me paying less than 800 for my surgery and hospital stay, if I have the surgery in Jan. I will have to pay close to 2,000 because that new deductible starts itself all over at the 1st of every year. I was a little down but it is worth every penny. So i will just have to do it.

You can do it!!!! I too do not have a date scheduled yet but I can imagine that it will be hard. Stay focus and try doing other things when the hunger pains kick in!!! Remind me as well lololo

U LOOK AMAZING!!! Great job

Hey forum family. So I went to the nutritionist today. I have completed all of my weigh ins, my doctor has sent the office a letter of recommendation. I have my Upper GI and blood work scheduled. My issue is that I was told that I am not able to get my surgery this year due to them being all booked til the first of next year. Now I am going to have to pay a "HIGH" deductible due to insurance starting over in Jan. I really wanted it (the sleeve) done before the end of the year so that my fees were not that expensive. But I AM GOING TO CONTINUE ON. Its just a little bump in the road :frusty: :pout: Any one had to experience this yet? Overall, I am excited. I want it too bad not to pay whatever it is I have to pay, in order to get it. Please send any msgs you may have my way. I hope yall had a good day!!!!

I am sorry things seem to not be going as planned. Hang in there. Go ahead and try to get the "new" things done so that you can get the show on the road . It will be all worth it in the long run. So cheer up and look forward to your new beginning.
