Fat Pat no more

Wow in just 3 months. Great job.

Thank you everyone!!! I loved reading that this thing actually worked before I had my surgery and I loved pics so I am trying to contribute! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> if my story helps just one person to make the decision then I'm happy! I cannot say enough about how amazing Dr Borland is! Anyone in Louisiana or the south really should definitely consider him for self-pay' date=' his price alone is unbelievable <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I started back on veggies and meat as of Monday and I'm happy to say I'm already down to 147, may not be much but 140 isn't far! Yay![/quote']

Great job. Keep up the good work. I hope I do as good.

Hang in there you can do it. Then you'll be back on track.

Wow you look great.

Apple app store.

You look great.

Good job

This is the saddest thing I've read in awhile...

Why would this worry you? Did your love last this long based on weight? Did she love you less as you got bigger?

I'm sorry but I have a hard time seeing love and marriage based on a partners weight..

I made a commitment to my husband and he to I' date=' to go through this life together, to know each other through all of our changes..

We are not the same as we were 13 years ago and 13 years down the line I'm sure each of us will have made more changes. The most beautiful gift you can give to a person is to say I want to be there by your side to witness the joys, sorrows and changes with you for the rest of our lives..

Call me silly, but I love that I have known my husband through his ups downs and yes aging.

He has loved me through the same and his loved never changed as my weight went through extreme fluctuations.[/quote']

Good reply Laura-Ben

Congrats to all of you.

Try SAMs club for the premier shakes I think they carry them.

Try Sams club.

Hang in there. You are doing great seems to be on track with others on this site. I haven't had my surgery yet but hope to in October. But I've been reading a lot on this site.

I live in Hattiesburg' date=' but I'm having my surgery on the coast on October 26th. It'd be great to meet some local folks.[/quote']

Whose your Dr?

I live in Brookhaven but I was self pay and I went to Nee Iberia LA. My total cost was only 9800.

Who was your Dr?

I'm 51 and I'm a long way from too old to do this! I may not be a spring chicken anymore' date=' but I'm nowhere near a stewing hen ready for the crock pot, either <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I have a huge part of my life ahead of me, and lots of things I plan to do. I need this to help me get back to a healthier and more active me. I want to beat my husband up the hill on a hike instead of panting my way up behind him, and I can't do it if I'm packing around an extra person. I am not looking for some sort of magic, just the tool to help me get started. I can't wait to join all of you on the losers bench![/quote']

Hey I like your attitude. I'm 51 and am looking forward to starting the rest of my life in better health than I am now. Hope to get sleeved in October.

That's amazing' date=' both the weight loss and the way your feelings have changed. I know that for someone to love me, I have to love myself - and I am starting to be believe I am worthy of that.

Thanks for sharing, hope the coffee date is the first of many - or maybe the start of something special :-)))))) Keep in touch, will let you know how things go at this end![/quote']

Love yourself then others can love you.

I always enjoy reading your posts.

Wow you look great.
