evil stomach of doom - LMAO!!!

Congratulations! I am hoping to have my surgery done at the end of June. Crazy nervous/excited!
@@AvaFern, Which plastic procedures are you having done and can I ask what kind of prices you've gotten? I am your same starting weight and same goal weight. Wondering how much more I'll be looking at after surgery.

I just paid for my surgery. I guess this is it for me. I am locked and loaded. Just waiting for March 10th and good bye evil stomach of doom...lol, But seriously, I am elated! I spent a pretty penny on this and its well worth it for my long term life. I just started my pre op diet today and I am doing pretty good. We will see how I feel tomorrow. This is me singing "Shakes glorious shakes, Choclate,vanilla,strawberry"! I know, Im crazy but Im so excited I could click my heels together if I were 100lbs lighter. Love you guys.

His insecurities are louding his judgement. Simply say to him " When you are ready to express your insecurities in a healthy and mature fashion then i will be will to sit and listen". he is having a tantrum and you are not his mother, You are his wife and his job as your husband is to protect you and comfort you. Say this "As my husband, I know that you want to protect me and be my support from the evils and pains of this world but did you ever consider that the person that hurts me the most is in fact the person that wants to protect me the most" That should make him think before he puts his foot in his mouth again. if that doesnt work then you just explain to him that the decision has been made and if he wants to play the role of the unsupportive husband then you will find a group in your area that will be your security. Im here for you.

Mine is March 10th. I am super excited! I have all the things I need. I have picked out the shakes I like, The only thing left to do is clean the house top to bottom and make my room relaxing since I will be recouperating for 2 weeks in it. I plan on getting some new candles to burn and just loving myself while I am healing. What a vacation...lol. Ill make the best of it.

I would have done it in my early 20s but I think its possible that my age now is just right when i really think about it cause I am a little older and a little wiser so I have a better understanding of what it takes to be the best me that I can be. I like who i am mentally and spiritually now and the only thing left for me to do is change myself phsically.

I'm so sorry you are miserable. And periods suck! If I were you, I would stay away from the scale. Bodies do what they want, on their own schedules, and we can't really control them -- at least not in the short term. I am sure the pound you gained was Water and tissue due to your period. There is no way you actually gained a pound of fat eating the way you are. That weight will come off, I promise, but I can't tell you when! So the scale is going to drive you nuts. The pre-op diet, generally speaking, is to help shrink your liver so that your surgery will be safe. It isn't to lose weight, so don't measure how "well" you are doing by the scale. How well you are doing will be assessed by your surgeon when he or she opens you up! And as long as you stay on track, I can't imagine your surgery will be canceled. Doctors understand that sometimes bodies do weird things -- especially in conjunction with hormonal changes and periods. Hang in there

@@Bonawanabfree thank you for all the info and I'm going to start getting prepared for my pre-op and surgery. On March 8th I'll have my food funeral. Just want to be healthy /happy. Even tho I've lost almost 40 pounds on .y own. My bp seems to go up and down. That stresses me out

@ I have Synthex-6 vanilla ice cream and also bought almond and cashew milk. i also have chocolate Premier Protein. I have also bought the unjury chicken Soup. I have tried Unjury chocolate and I like that as well. I also would recommend Chike. it is so good. Make sure you buy some PB2 powder to doll up your vanilla and you can also but the SF Torini. I have even covered the basis of Water. I have lemon flavored torini SF to mix in my Water. I love variety so as not to get bored quickly. i start my 2 week diet tomorrow, Today is food funeral.

My date is March 10!

I would advise you to just put in the time, You are not at all obligated to tell anyone why you are needing time off especially when it comes to medical, there are laws to protect you from that kind of harrassment. Just tell them you need to be out for medical reasons and leave it at that. If they push you for more information tell them you do not feel comfortable disscussing it. let them gossip all they want. Good lick and you are in my thoughts.

@
Im sorry to hear about your friend. She must be going through a bit of sadness and envy. I know that many lap banders have gone to revision for sleeve because they did not have as much luck. i was interested in the lap band for a long time and decided that the sleeve made more sense for me. I am sure over time she will come around and just understand that she is fighting with her own insecurities and sometimes in life we put our insecurities above other people accomplishments. it is sad but true and completely normal. Just let her know you are there for her when she is ready and that she is very important to you and your life. Dont give up on her. She may need you more than you need her right now.

I know i said it starts my journey but my journey started many years ago, I have been obese all of my life. I was teased mercilessly and made to feel less than a person. I learned at a young age to laugh at myself before anyone else could and it has been that way for so many years and has become my barrier and comfort zone. As I grew older and wiser I learned to brush off the looks and the laughs but all in all I define myself as a hermit and love being alone now and not facing the world. I actually dont mind being inside and feel comforted by the absense of ridicule. I know this sounds sad but I really love who I am now mentally. My main reason for wanting this surgery is for my health and also for my inner child that wants to run, jump and play. I want to learn how to do a cart wheel, I want to go on rides at a themepark. I want to shop in regular stores and not have to pay an arm and a leg for the custom size clothing. I am tired of the way the world thinks less of larger people and caters to the smaller sizes. Part of me likes being bigger for the sake of being humble and less blinded by the facade of beauty and acceptance but my health is highly important to me and I want to feel free of the constraints that excess weight has on my own body and life. Thank you for your stories and your beautiful hearts. You are all wonderful. I have been reading all of your stories for months now and finally taking the plunge to be closer to where you are. Though you are all further along I love the inspiration you have given me to keep pushing and swimming into the deepend of the pool. Thank you.
With Love
Bonnie
