ME TOO!

I'm going through this and feeling the same way exactly so I haven't been coming to the forums as much anymore. It's an awful feeling seeing so many people drop weight on and on and I have been stuck for maybe 4 months now sigh

this is exactly how i feel today.. surgery was 10/23. just feels bad.

Oct 23rd here - going through my 2nd.. or 3rd stall? frustrated. I lost exactly 30 lbs and the scale isn't moving. I feel like I look the same and trying not to let old thoughts creep in and demoralize my good intentions. Maybe I will try the measurements thing idk guys

Hi everyone - New Yorker here, 26 f, getting sleeved tomorrow - 10/23/12!! Will be checking surgery time after 5 pm today. So many thoughts, nervousness, excitement, hope, fear. Right now I'm just drained from fasting today.. I wonder how I will feel this time tomorrow..

I told my mom, dad, and little brother. Very tight knit supportive family, and I don't even live with them. I'm one of those "tell no one" people. I just felt I owed it to them, seeing that they gave me life with all healthy organs. If anything were to happen, I didn't want them blindsided. That said, I don't think anything's going to happen, I've told no one out side of them, not even my best friend who I tell everything to. I don't plan on sharing any news with anyone. I could not care less about observations of eating too little either. Whatever, I'll just order soup on certain outings. It's a theory. All that commentary is for the birds lol. If you want to keep it private, do so. There are a lot of very supportive people out there but more than anything, some of us aren't into group discussions about your life choices, foreign country "hack jobs" and so forth. Vacation it is!

In re: YOLO not gunna lie I lol'd

I second this I can't wait either!

Girl what? 44 lbs in SIX weeks? Holy cow!! You look so good.. this surgery man.. what in the world

hey girl

really?? Interesting! what insurance do you have? I was completely shut down and told that he and his office do not accept insurance and that it was a cash only practice!

lol wow. well she loves you and is really frightened. That said, you need to take care of you so you CAN live a long life with you 2 kids. You aren't going to a back alley to receive a hatchet job for goodness sakes

*hugs* not easy but I do think the timing is beautiful. The season with him in it came and went. This journey is a deeply personal one in which your faith is going to bring you through. A new season will come bringing the right person with it Right now this is your time. Get to know you, on your own, and keep building that mindset. Mokee is right- You do have us, and you'll be pleasantly about how rich an experience something like this can turn out to be - hurtful start and all. Also- here's a favorite video of mine on the beauty of being alone vs lonely.

I know just how you feel - kind of dealing with those thoughts as well. A guy who went through it as well would be really great. We're different though in that I only told my mom and thats gonna be the end of that. For a normal person though (lol) I would say whether its weight loss surgery, or some things about the past, or what have you, everyone has there "stuff", you know? And thats typically the risk right? Just really hoping someone we care about accepts us. I really do wish you the best of luck because the worry really sucks and finding love is hard enough as it is. Just hang in there, temper your expectations, and go with the flow. Awesome vibrant people who learn to love themselves end up attracting the like anyway!

@ Mr_Worm ha ha thats pretty awesome
