I agree on so many points! Love, love, love my family and Thanksgiving. Hate housework.

Working the tool I was blessed with! Grateful for more energy and less of me.

Beautifully written by one, painfully lived by many.

You have a gift and you are gorgeous, inside and out.

God bless!

Give up? Never! Chunky soups and squishy protein (fish, fish, fish). Don't give up. Ask, someone will answer you.

Good luck!

I am 2 weeks post op. I have felt that way a few times. I have found that if I eat a small amount when I start to feel hungry and then 'leave it' the hunger goes away and I am ok for several hours. I get hungry when I am alone at home...now I am sure that is my head and not my new tiny stomach!

Good luck.

You look great. You should be very proud.

Obesity is the last of the 'politically correct' prejudices. It's so true. The sad thing about having a food problem is that everyone can see your problem. Almost all other human 'problems' can be hidden from the general population, drug abuse, sex addicts, alcoholics, racists whatever...but obesity is obvious to others what your problem is and so everyone feels it is ok to comment on it or feel superior to those who struggle.

Here's what I never understood...why are you superior if you are an alcoholic or a smoker or a drug abuser? No one ever has to smoke, drink alcohol or do drugs but we all HAVE to eat. Its easier to give up something completely than to 'limit' it.

I have been obese all my adult life. It has held me back in soooo many ways. I hope losing this excess weight will help me to 'dare' to do some of those things I should have done a long time ago.

Here's to new horizons!

Good news Annie! The big picture is going to be a smaller picture real soon. I am on day 5 of 10 pre op. Not one cheat and feeling ok, not grand but doable!

Glad you are ok! Everyone should lock their doors. Scarey!

I have thought about the 'if I can do this now...why do I need a sleeve' My answer is because once I lose it...I don't want to ever have to do it again. I think with a little effort and the sleeve, one more time will be all I need!
