I see my new doctor next Thursday. I'm going to ask her to refer me since my insurance requires me to talk to my doctor first..really scared she will say no or laugh at me so any tips on how to go about asking? Like how I should word it..I have heard she has refered someone so I know she isn't against the idea of it but maybe she will be against it because I am young and am not a yoyo dieter..never lost weight cause when I portion I end up starving and eating all day..I just don't want to be told to try changing my diet cause my last doctor,thrapist, psychiatrist and a nut have all told me to try different things and I do it but I always end up over eating..

i had two a few years ago. Never tore anything up except their stuffys but they did hide stuff under the coffee table. One loved to take showers with you and the girl loved baths. I think it's funny watching them try to drag stuff to hide...getting them box trained was hard but eventually they would climb into their cage to use the box.

im so sorry my bf and I together are introverted lol I'd still like to be the crazy animal lady but he won't let me! So I'm allowed to have my cat and get either a corgi or some ferrets...I want them all!

Lol a piece of cheese I think a lot of people cheat sometimes. This is not a easy process to go through. I'm pre op but protein shakes deffinetly help the most when ur hungry.

i am hoping to be a good example thanks!

she works for Symantec and gets Cigna insurance so I hear they are a pain in the ass but they cover at least some of it. It just sucks to watch this I love her to pieces and don't want anything bad to happen and if she continues down this road something will

Not munching on stuff except for ice at midnight

So my aunt is turning 36. She is obese but also has a lot of health issues. She had a blood clot in her leg a while back and her legs swell up SO bad all the time like she can't wear regular boots that cover her calf she has to cut the backs.. I'm super worried I'm going to lose her cause she can only do yoga for like 15 mins...I think surgery would be great for her but she thinks surgery is a last resort for anyone I mean doesn't she care to be able to do things with her 8 year old son? Isn't she sick of only being able to do so little I mean when I'm there I have to do all the lifting and I'm fat too lol..it just sucks cause she is the only positive/motherly family member I have. I look up to her..without her I would be lost and it sucks to see her in such horrible shape..I hope she chooses to do something before its too late. I wish I could tell her but I know she feels bad about her weight every time shoes don't fit her or when she can't find cute things in her size..I don't want to make her feel any worse and I already know where she stands on surgery when I told her I was looking into it...maybe if I do it and show her how great this tool is she will come around ..idk I'm just venting..

does it really help with that?

I knew it was the surgery! Because its not my bf who is worried its me who is worried I will feel too hot for him...I can't imagine myself with anyone else or accepting my baggage but I know so many people who have lost weight and it changed them..fame,money does it too.

Thanks for posting this its good to see some negativity out of all the positive because I know this surgery isn't a walk in the park. I haven't had the surgery yet but I'm sure it will get better. I see a lot of people are depressed afterwards but as time goes by You get the hang of it. I have a huge stomach and I don't even get in 64oz of water..oppose lol

amazing job! Great inspiration!

right before I started to gain I was10 up till then I played lots of sports and gymnastics..I'm hoping that little girl who enjoyed being active is somewhere still in me lol I have become incredibly lazy and introverted...I'm sick of being shy and having zero friends and self confidence...I want to see what my adult body looks like! It sucks I have to give up the food I love most but It's going to be worth it..I hope

dumb question but did you hate working out before? If so how did it change? I guess if I didn't huff and puff after a block of walking I wouldn't mind working out. Thanks !

I'm sick of being fat and I certainly don't want to die in my 20s I guess that's more important than Chinese food but damn! I'm going to miss it dearly...it also doesn't help that I'd rather have noodles and rice instead of meat...I also hate most veggies lol...I'm going to die ...the best thing I can do to my brain is make it hate food which I will if I can't have what I want lmao. Thank antiband and lady

The amount of time for diet depends on the size of your liver. That diet is for your safety and makes it easier on the surgeon.

My bf and I both play games..I don't play as much as I used to right now so it pisses me off when he comes home from work and goes straight to the computer. Also since I'm on ssi and stay at home he thinks I should do all the house work..we aren't married and I'm not his mother. It isn't my job to pick up after him..grinds my gears...kinda feels like we are married at this point lol. So I feel for you..

Congrats!

Totally different from surgery but I had my lip pierced once and it went numb and tingly off and on for a few weeks but went back to normal lol also love my neighbor totoro

Well some surgeons will delay surgery if your liver is too big.

Lmao hens...I feel like I'm still a chick

I had to have work done in my nose and I was scared but I remember being rolled into the operating room an counting down from 10.. It's really like blacking out. My sleeping meds often knock me out and I don't remember falling asleep..it's really not that bad. The nausea though that was the worst part of it all. Just take your mind off things. Take a nice bath or go to a hot tub. That always makes my mind turn to mush

I'm not a emotional eater but I freaking love food..I keep telling my self I can do this but I'm really not sure if I can. Watching my family, bf, friends eat fries,Chinese food...pasta..and me not being able to eat it will be torture. I have to keep reminding my self my stomach will be small so that will make it easier to not eat the carbs cause I won't have much room but still. How did you get through not being able to eat fatty foods?

Congrats and good luck!

I had to delete like 70 emails cause of this thread lol * unsubscribes*
