I am going through something like that now. Although I haven't been sleeved yet, I most definitely plan to do so, barring some blip in the universe that prevents me from doing so. I feel like an evangelist,I see other overweight people and think to myself , why don't they have WLS. I want to go over and tell them of the great opportunity. Then I slap myself into reality. I am not a fan of evangelism. To each his own, I say. My decision is my own, not everyone I know would agree with it (if I even told them). So how would I feel about my obese brothers and sisters, after the weight loss. The way I feel about those I have worked with as a nurse over the years...the poor, the disenfranchised, the sick, the homeless. I don't feel sorry for them, I want to help, or at least support them because, in the end, There but for the grace of God, go I.

Wow that was mean. But she's gone and he's your Ex. Time to move on to better days. I have besically been in seclusion, I don't socialize except with my immedicate family. i don't want to hear the wispers of (god she got fat). It's bad enough I have to hear from my overweight mom the disguised cooments of my weight, my clothes and my appearance whatever. I am looking forward to getting this sleeve done, once I am done with all the requirements, so I can rock my new bod next summer. I am just going to count this summer as one I will probably like to forget. Almost drading my favorite vacation camping in Cape Cod. Can't get my fat butt in a size 20 bathing suit. This will be my most embarrassing fat story. Time to turn the page

Wear nice clothes, walk for exercise again. Fit in a pair if mid cut jeans without having half my behind come out the top. Allowing my picture to be taken. Come out of hiding.

I had to to so many things before I could get surgery I started in dec 2011 and now I'm finally done and my surgery is aug 21 I had to do a 6 month medically supervised diet so don lose hope it will happen

I am looking forward as this being my last "summer of discontent" i plan to be wearing pretty shift dresses and shorts and halters. My son graduates from International Film School in Cuba next year and I plan to show up, hubby on my arm feeling good about myself in front of my ex and his wife. This is my goal. No pain (arthritis) and back to feeling good about myself. Because right now, I am miserable and sad. Working on my pre-reqs hoping itll be done soon.

I am a visiting nurse. The most strenous thing i do is carry my iPad and small bag in and out of the car about 4-6 times a day. I really don't want to stay out out of work for more than a week. Any ideas on this?
