  1. Anyone around 5'2 with starting weight of 240? Would love to know time and amount lost. I have no clue how to even guess
  2. You what kind of sucks? Tonight I went out with my friends and for the first time in. 15 years ....didn't care what - people thought of me. Because this is the last night I go out this fat...I didn't care. The self hating voices were silent. I'm two weeks from being sleeved. If the rest of my life doesn't have the self hate voice like tonight does. I'm good. I can do this. I'm not scared.
  3. My surgery is 18 days away. I am terrified. I keep re reading this post and I remember why I am doing this. Thank you again.
  4. Holy crap is right!!!!! I want to be you!!!!!
  5. Haha me too. I feel like I'm going to be a star! Lool.
  6. Any other people freaking out like me? 21 more says..holy sheet
  7. I was told I could drink 1 month out. That seems crazy! And yea you go on with your bad self! 21 and feeling good. You deserve a cocktail! I find things to be 0 calories on your 21 bday but that's my math. Have a wonderful time! I like the crystal light idea!
  8. I feel like I need a realistic picture of how much I will lose and what time frame. My surgery is july 1. I'm 239 and 5'2. I want to be down at least 100 jan 20. Am I insane? What's the average weight loss per week?
  9. Thanks!!! My surgery is 26 days away!!!
  10. So the YouTube channels helped a lot when I started this in December. In fact it was one video that made the decision for me. I'm hoping to help people considering this. Since I have my date scheduled I posted the first video I made after the seminar. Now that this thing is in full swing...I'm going to do more.
  11. I just posted this as a question on another board. I am single and I am worried but not in a bad way. I guess nervous. I was always a size 8-10 and then got fat. I know what the other side is but my self esteem was awful (thinking that's what got me here). I always get "you have such a beautiful face" from men. Which is code for - you'd be hot if you we're thinner. I feel like this was the journey I had to go on and that as my surgery date grows closer, I am looking in the mirror and seeing this I do like about myself. and that once I'm feeling better and not: feeling squished on a plane, shopping in the plus section, scanning the room for someone fatter then I am, being out of breath on stairs... I will be that confident person. And I won't worry "why" guys are talking to me now that haven't before. I'm still me. I'm the same person but I'm not invisible. I will be the girl who turns heads instead of walking behind my friends. And...I'm total ok with that. I think as you lose you will find yourself and whatever insecurities you have might improve and your relationship will be even more amazing because you will be happier all around. I wish you all the best and look forward to keeping up with how you are doing!
