I never got them before so I wont expect them now...lol

I have a hard time getting motivated myself...part of it is I dont like people staring at me when I work out...

Hey I am sure you will get something sooner or later....I still see myself looking like the old me and I have lost 48 pounds since having surgery on 10/30/12...but the one person I would like to hear the compliments from isnt giving them...soo...I just roll my eyes..lol

I know.......

Ok men, heres a question how have you handled womens responses to your weight loss, In all the meetings I had to go through before I had my surgery we only talked about womens responses to all the attention they get from the men....the last comment I got was damn girl...lol I knew I would be getting comments but I couldnt help but roll my eyes...

I was going to say there is nothing lazy about having the surgery....All the prep you have to do before and what you have to do to make the sugery successful..My dr. told me the surgery is a tool...one that I have to take good care of...I get so pissed when people critize me for what I did to help better myself...

wow people can be so ignorant....

Mine happened over the holidays, we were at a family members house for christmas and the minute I walk in the door I get dirty looks for a younger member of the family who also herself is overweight...well of course I didnt get to voice what i would like to have for the meal, so they made lasanga, ok that was fine but I of course can not eat pasta..So I made do and pick the one that had the cheese on it and picked through it with out eatting the Pasta part with some added cottage cheese, so I could get my protien. and I had some pudding from a desert that was made by gave my husband the chocolate that was on top...So still keeping with in the guidelines of my food intake. I get home and my son was upset about something so I talk to him and he told me the family members were in the kitchen bad mouthing me and that I was lying about what I can and can not eat...Now this didnt upset me because I knew and expect this reaction..But what was hurtful was that they did this in front of my son and he doesnt understand why they had to be so negative. I tried to explain to him that it didnt bother me but I could tell it really hurt.

I started off at 24, I can wear a size 20 I think if I got rid of the extra roll in front I could get into size 18 or 16...

People who know you had surgery and its seems out of disrespect eat big Mac in front of me, and then laugh about and say.it sucks to be me...ok for one you eating it doesn't bother me its the dang smell. I just had my.surgery last week and some foods make me sick just.from the smell. Has any one else.gone through this...

Ok thanks I will try that, I am only 5 days out.

Is there any good tasting reciepes that calls for plain yogurt? I love yogurt its the plain stuff I can't stomach. I have a huge cantainer of it and don't want to waste it.

When I start I was 293 the whole process. Surgery date I was 282 on 10/30/12. Today 6days later I am 266!!!!

First off Congradulations, after being delayed one time because or my A1C I was able to have my surgery on the 30 of October. Up to that day people kept asking me if I was nervous. My outside was like no while at the same time they would say well I know such ans such had it done and they gained their weight back. My insides wanted to rip there heads off. Oh course I was nervous but I kept saying why am I doing this..I would go through all the reason why I should go through it. Got in my pre-op room joked around with the nurses next thing I know I was going in the OR room getting on the table and saying goodnight ....remind yourself off all the good that is coming out of the. Plus look at all the new friends you will make on here. Who will support you!!! Good Luck Monday!!!

I just did everything they asked me to do.....show them you are commited to change in lifestyle. You will do great!

Well my original date was Aug 7 but delayed because my A1C was 11.6 and by Sept 22 I brought it down to 8.6 got another surgery date of Nov 27 but two weeks ago I was asked if I would like to go on Oct 30 so I took it.. I walked out of the hospital no longer on any diabetic medications... No more pills and no more insulin.... Yeah
