    sleevemeup got a reaction from Eiluj in Treated Different......   
    So unfortunate, but I understand. Yes, it does happen. It may sound strange, but being overweight has actually made me a better person. I feel that everything happens for a reason, and you learn and grow from experiences. I went from being very thin and fit to 120 lbs overweight. When I was thin, I had more "guy" friends. Could have been because I was involved in sports, who knows. After my weight gain, I have more "girl" friends. I don't really miss my guy friends, maybe because I am married with a family. I seriously hope I don't loose my girl friends with my weight loss, but if I do, I guess they weren't friends after all.
    One thing I have noticed is that I am a nicer, more understanding and less judgmental. I don't think I would be this way had I always remained thin. It's not that I was a nasty person before I gained the weight, just not as "aware" as I am now. I am looking forward to sports, being able to enjoy doing things with my family that I haven't been able to do for 10 years. I am grateful for all this has taught me. I don't know how certain people will treat me, but I know how to now treat others and I have a different outlook. Sounds kinda crazy, geez- I sure hope I pass my psych exam next week.....lol

    sleevemeup got a reaction from ronbo67 in 5 Weeks Post Op   
    I had surgery on 2/14, and I am at 35. I have also had a total of 9 surgeries on my legs (6 knee). I have just been walking and recently started the elliptical. It's remarkable how much better my legs feel. I had a slow week around wk 3. Now it's picking up. It just takes time. Best of luck!

    sleevemeup got a reaction from ElleG in Food relationships   
    Yes, I had a few food funerals. I made it, I'm 9 days away from surgery. Pre-op isn't that bad, just like any other diet that I have done time and time again, except this one will certainly end differently! Best of luck on the 20th~

    Okay, you guys are freaking me out (and making me laugh). I go in tomorrow morning. My doc said I didn't need to poop before I left. Thank God. I'm a home pooper. I'm glad you are all doing well, and will join in hopefully later tomorrow. Not looking forward to the catheter....

    Hi, I was worried too. I have hypothyroidism...I have had it since the 90's...I am now a little over a month out..and I have lost over 35 lbs...Considering all things..I am very happy I had the surgery! I didn't lose anything the first week...and in fact I gained from the fluids in the hospital..needless to say..I was freaked out! BUT...it started dropping off...and now I'm in clothes I had put away because they didn't fit anymore. It's a great feeling!
    I know is an expensive gamble...but for your health it might be worth it for you. I really wish you the best of luck!!!
