I just wanted to introduce myself to the community! I had surgery November 27th it was soo scary for me but I was so tired of being overweight!! I would always hear awhh mija you would be pretty if you werent so fat!! Or yu have a pretty face but not so much of a body! I always had a smile on my face and tried to act like being big didnt phase me that I was happy with myself but I wasnt!! My insurance made me jump through alot of hoops but I did it today im six weeks out of surgery and I'm down 40 lbs!! Im excited and very scared!! The scary part is that I lost those 40lb being on a liquid diet!! I am just now able to eat food and soo scared that Im going to gain all the weight back!! I tried to think positve and have happy thoughts but i feel no one understands me. Thats why i love this web site a place to meet people who understand me and now what im going threw!!! I had bought a scale but my husband hid it from me because I was becoming obsessed I felt like I needed to be losing weight everyday so I now only weigh myself once a week. i hope my sucees continues I only have a goal of being 200lbs sure I would love to get down to like 160lb but to me this surgery will be a success if I lose a total of a 100 pounds!!! I hope by reading this you will feel you know me a bite and will want to be my friend!!

I got sleeved Nov 27th!!! Im so excited and yet scared out of my mind about this journey I chosed!!

I so love this!! To read how everyone has felt and gone threw what I have been feeling makes me really ok with myself! I thought i was going crazy that I was so wrong for doing the surgery I had to be on liquids during christmas and new years and it was tough but i did it I am 6 wks out and have only lost about 40lbs but Im so scared that now that I can eat food its goin to come all back !!Do any of yall have this same fear!!!!

OMG I thought I was the only one who stressed about the scale not going down my hubby took the scale and hid it cuz literally i was on it every day!! I swear its like I expect the weight to just melt off and its a bit depressing.
