So, I am new to this site. I have been reading a lot on here and have gotten so inspired about my upcoming surgery. I have read many profiles and posts so far, but I am wondering if anyone has some of their goals that they would like to share with me? I know I read a post with a fabulous list of goals but cant seem to find it now. I would love to know what others' goals are so I can get inspired to make my own Goals List. thanks!!

I hope I have the same success!! Great job!

Surgery scheduled for May 29th!!

Thank you all for the advice and support. I think he is on the fence for many reasons. I know we have spent money on lots of failed attempts to lose the weight, and nothing I have ever tried before has worked. But that is the reason I want to go through with the surgery. My feelings are in this 100% and I will make it work. I want to finally lose and be able to chase my kids, go for walks, and just enjoy a life without feeling fat!! I have asked him to watch a taped seminar of my doctor's information...he hasn't taken the time to do that yet. Weight loss has been a difficult subject in our marriage for years. I just think I will have to prove it to him and kick this into high gear!

So I have been thinking of getting surgery for quite some time now. I have family that are very supportive of my decision. However, my husband basically thinks that since I have never been able to lose it and stick with any plan in the past that this is a bad choice. He doesn't get where I am coming from and thinks I will fail yet again at this weight loss battle. I really don't know how to explain it to him. I have said the surgery itself will make me lose the weight. In losing a good amount, I will feel more energetic and want to get out and be more active. I am 100% going to have the VS but really want his support through it all. Any advice or thoughts?? I am a newbie here but have really enjoyed reading some of the topics and am amazed at everyone's photos! Any thoughts are appreciated!
