What a considerate mom you are. I would have struggled with this as well. I also agree with Miss Mac. You sound like the person who is always putting others in front of yourself. You deserve this. I am glad you decided to go on with the surgery. After all, it is best to do it now before the babies are here. By the time they are here, you will be well recovered and able to enjoy them. Your family is so very lucky to have you. ((hugs))

Amazing job! Well done. Thanks for sharing

Hey there! I was just checking in on you and saw I missed this post. So glad you got your approval. Mine was submitted 8/4 and I am still waiting to hear back. We may be close in dates. Hope all is going well for you.

Wow! Just WOW! Thanks for sharing your story and passing on the encouragement.

@@luvhermitcrabs Great News!

Yay! I am so jealous, I am waiting for mine.

Eggface has some great ideas using Quest bars on her website too. Was just looking at them the other night.

Hang in there and good luck!

Thanks for your post. It is encouraging to know that things have went so well for you all I wish you continued success!

You are my HERO! That was an awesome idea. So glad it worked out. YAY!

I don't blame you for being emotional. It is exciting to think about the changes to come and your new life. I can't tell you how many times I read posts on here and see photos of people reclaiming their life and it make me tear up. You can feel any way you want to feel.

What a victory! Keep on truckin'

Congratulations on your loss! I was at a WLS support group meeting last week and there were lots of folks at different stages, and some at goal, and most said that they struggled with seeing the "new you" in the mirror. I bet if you looked with a different set of eyes you could see how far you have come. One member mentioned that the first time she actually saw her progress was when she saw herself in a photo and wasn't expecting it. Like... Who's that? Oh, that is me.

I am dreading this very thing.

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Thanks for sharing your experiences. As you know those of us who are waiting for our date appreciate you sharing them. Take care and congratulations!

What a great thread! @ Kate_UK Scuba diving is on my goal/rewards list post op @ Bloomer723 I am with you on pictures... yeah I would like to be in some and not have a photo block @ magical woman - yep, everything you said...lol I hate the floral shirts and general "tent" shirts as I call them Simple as it may seem - Paint my toenails Stop the boob sweat

After my husband suffered a terrible injury that left him bed ridden for 6 months, I was his sole caregiver. My weight made caring for him very difficult. I also realized that because he was in much better health than I was, that if it had been me that was injured, I would not have the same recovery as he has. Thank he has recovered and learned to walk again and I am now waiting for my insurance approval. We are both blessed and have a new outlook on our days to come. Good luck on your journey.

You will find lots of support here. Good luck on your journey!

I was miserable at first as well and couldn't figure out why everyone loved their machines so much. I vowed to use it 30 days before I gave up and used melatonin to help fall asleep. I would wake up in the beginning around 2am without fail cut the machine off then go back to sleep. Finally I slept longer and longer and now I don't want to be without it. I use the the nose mask because the pillows sent too much air up my nose at a time but others love them. So vBulletin dont give up. Keep tryin. I hope it works out for you.

You will do great! I am excited for you!

@@mclorrie it sounds like you are doing great and the pounds are dropping. Glad to hear things are going well with your return to work. Are you able to drink an 8 oz Protein shake in the mornings and if so how long does it take to get it down? Keep up the good work!

Awesome! Keep up the good work
