courtneyjoy got a reaction from kryssaboo in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
My list is quite similar to yours. I live in constant battle with myself if I will go to family events or be too embarrassed at how overweight I have gotten. Not being the mom I could be to this precious little boy I have and wife to my husband. And just not liking who I have become.

courtneyjoy got a reaction from eyengo in What do you look forward to post-op?
I hear ya gals, I am looking forward to being happy with myself again. I have always been thick but I used to feel fabulous. Never would you see me at Walmart or target in sweays and no make up... I loved doing my hair and putting together an outfit. These days my husband litetally refers to my clothes as comfy clothes and dressy sweats. I cannot wait to feel comfortable on my own skin again. Loose skin and all!

courtneyjoy got a reaction from anniemay in First Post Here... Surgery schefuled for 4/22
Hello Everyone! Well, after years of yo-yoing, dieting, phentermine etc. and after jumping through the insurance hoops.... I finally have my surgery date. April 22, 2013!!! It doesn't quite yet feel real. Although I am scheduled, start my liquid diet monday and have a letter of approval from aetna, I still feel as though at any moment the doctors office is going to call and say they changed their mind. My starting weight is 330, I am 5'9 and pear shaped. I have this awesome husband and handsome two yesr old son and they are being cheated by me. I am not the wife and mother I want to be. I want to have more energy, I want to be able to get down on the floor with my little boy and not worry about my back locking up, and I want to let my husband show me affection without cringing because he is touching my fat. I just want the old me back. As the date approaches, O am so full of emotion. I am relieved, excited, scared to fail, overjoyed etc.I am all over the place. I am very glad I found this forum to vent without shame.. So thank you all
