I'm tempted to buy some knee high boots. Yea baby!!

Ok I have a confession to make...I've checked with Aetna every.single.day sincey paperwork was submitted. Yep, NUTSO!!

Silver lining...I've heard losing slowly might not result in as much saggy skin!

I've been eating well daily but I AM doing my "Farewell Tour of Food" at my favorite restaurants! LOL

I find this to be the most mean spirited topic I've seen here. I'm not in a position to judge anyone on ANYTHING, and certainly not on their eating habits!
Is it possible (especially at only 6 1/2 weeks out!!) to forget that you are/were morbidly obese? That we needed drastic medical intervention to keep us from eating ourselves to death? Really?
How can you NOT see yourself in that person?! Not everyone has the finanacial means or the support for this surgery. Did you NOT overeat? Did you NOT make bad choices?
The hypocrisy is staggering.

So sorry that happened to you!! I fully believe that if we were able to follow the chain of command in an insurance company as far as it could go, there would sit Satan himself at the top! LOL

I've been prone to crying fits ever since my last surgeon's appt. I've been waiting a week for insurance approval and besides being completely consumed and preoccupied with that, I've been on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions; from excitement to anger to profound sadness.
Some days I'm ready to "kick a$$ and take names" thinking I've got this and looking forward to the changes and other days I completely lack the confidence that I'll ever change and fear that I'll just end up fat again after a couple of years and then I'll be fat AND humiliated.

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone!!
I'm so ready to make this change and leave this fat, unhealthy body behind. I want to start feeling better and know that I'm getting healthier and healthier! I'm ready to DO this thing and sweat it out and prove to myself that I'm strong and steel-willed and beautiful!!
Not just on this particular issue, but this journey as a whole. The people here, for the most part, are supportive and caring and genuine, and i have a feeling I would lose my mind without this forum!!

Now that I'm getting close to surgery (I'm waiting on approval from Aetna) I find that I'm hating my fat body even more than before. I guess being preoccupied with how I'm hoping to feel and look "after" has me wanting even more to escape this gross, jiggly, HEAVY body. I wish I could unzip it and get OUT of it!!!
Anyone else feeling the same?

It didn't hurt my feelings at all. It came from a place of love and, ultimately sadness bc to her, not being able to run and jump and play games is probably one of the saddest things she can think of.
I will have this surgery and I will lose this weight and I will run and jump and play games with my children again very soon.

My six year old daughter asked me, in the sweetest way, if I'd ever be able to "run and jump and play games" again. It broke my heart. And steeled my resolve to get healthy.

I'm going to have naughty pics made with my husband's guitar!
And lots of the things others have posted...travel, zip line, amusement parks, swimsuits, etc.

How about putting on shirt after shirt trying to find one long enough to cover my stomach?!
