You have a lot of peoplr who care for you and that you care for in some way. You HAVE to make time. Even if its just 5 or 10 min several times a day. It may hurt to do so but its necessary. If you dont take care of you there wont be a you to take care of them.
Ive learned that people should receive their "flowers" while they are still here..... take care..

I am sorry this has not been a better experience. I think you are facing what many of us feared would happen to us. I don't have a wonderful fix for you, wish I did.
I can say that I use to be a mindless eater and a gorger at times. I would just eat to be eating not because I was hungry or wanted it. What has helped me is counting those calories with myfitnesspal. That way I can see- holy crap- dinner was worth WHAT! It has made me more aware and helped me learn some things I thought were good aren't and something things I thought were bad aren't. I would highly recommened educating yourself on nutrition, if you can't afford nutrtionist or counseling.
It's okay to vent- venting sometimes helps us see our issues more clearly so vent away!!

Ladies they make plus size bodysuits that are sexy and will hold you in while all the action goes on :-)..and they usually are crotchless so theres no tug of war to get out of them Strap on some heels and im sure your body will disappear in your mind and his! Lol..
Lets all vow to stay secure and always know that we are sexy througout our transition!!!!!

Welcome back mzyunique, From what I see all went well!
Steelerfan- Hold in there. your answer will come. Try to occupy yourself with other hobbies, or like me, do some school work that I have been slacking on lol . At least you have completed the "jumping through hopps" phase.
I think I tend to worry because I just want to make sure I completed all of the requirements. I am on the 3 month process and appartanly am the first that my surgeons office has dealt with.
I tell you! Good luck and keep us posted.

Thats great!!!!! Now only if my wii fit board would stop telling me im obese! Lol So proud of you!

That wii fit board is mean. I remember getting on and it took my avatar and added 50 lbs. rude!! Lol

Lol-- I make my husband keep the lights off- and if I'm on top don't think I don't wrap a sheet or something around my stomach! It sucks! I just want to be ale to let loose and not worry about what I look like!! And we have been married 16 years.

I dated a guy who was totally weirded out by it. Needless to say I moved on lol... I'm now married to a man who loves my curves and believe me I got Curves!! I got more booty then most people would know what to do with lol

My husband gets irritated when i wont let him do certain things. Yes we are over weight and yes they may have to work a little harder or ask for assitance to keep parts "up" lol but they really dont mind. Not the ones closest to you anyway..:-) if he says it doesnt bother him, put your fav music on, grab some wine, a fluffy pillow lean back and let the great times roll!
Speakinh from experience, ive learned not to deprive my mate due to my insecurities. I hate legs stomach backside all, but birthday suit or professional suit, he loves it all and I really couldnt ask for more:-)

IT DOES NOT MEAN I EAT EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!!!
Went downstairs at my job today and was completely embarrassed. I went previously at 7 am and purchased Breakfast. It was then 8:30am. A coworker asked me to walk with them and i also needed to get some Water. The coworker and I were talking and we ended up at the hotbar waiting for his food. The attendant hands him his food and then looks at me and say, very loudly btw," YOU ARE EATING AGAIN?!"
deer caught in headlights look consumed me. I had not asked her for anything. In fact i was picking up my Water to walk away with the coworker. I said no and removed myself from the cafe area period. Luckily im not superficially sensitive but it hurts inside either way.
Anyone had any similar experiences or embarrassing moments when your weight has been " brought to your attention"?
My children, 4 & 5 do it all the time...

Hello everyone. I am in my final phase of the " waiting for insurance" 3 month wait period. I am super excited and wanted to goall out and lose a few extra lbs before my last appt with the surgeon the day before thanksgiving.
If any of you would like to join in, lets go!
In an effort to prepare myself for the pre op diet, i am doing a Protein, fruit and veggie diet for 17 days.
Starting Sunday, I will have 3 Protein shakes a day.
No more than 3 Snacks a day. Backup shakes, bars, veggies or fruits for needed fuel for exercising.
I will exercise 7 days of the week. Now i am not talking about killing my body in the gym everyday for twelve hourz. My goal is 1 hour a day. Walking, taking the kids in the wagon, wii fit. Etc. I will use this time to give my time to others. Cleaning a loved ones house. Cleaning my own attic. Take the time to focus on the goal.
Another goal is at least 6 hours of sleep per day. Sometimes i dont know when to stop moving..
We can post hour daily weekly progress here or start an email group. Doesnt matter.
I will say i have done this for a week. In an effort to support a then soon to be bander, i did the liquid diet with her from the date of her approval until the day of her surgery. What a week! But it made me all the happier and more comitted.

Honey cheer UP! The damage is already done but try a little harder next time to stick to the requirement as it is important for healing. Just because we "trip up" one moment, does not mean that we are doomed to do so for the rest of our days. Make sure your next meal is what it is supposed to be. You may even want to get a little creative with it. If you are craving a certain food, maybe make some Soup or mashed potatoes, or whatever you are allowed to have at this point and fix it so that is satifies your taste buds but most importantly your hunger within your limits We are all here if you need us! I am rooting for you!
