thank you.

Thank you for the encouragement I really want this. It's just hard. I know if everybody else has been able to do this I can too!!! I've ganied more weight after having my son (1/19/12) then my whole pregnancy. I was pre prego weight by 2/20/12 and after that depression kicked in from losing my mom (1/18/12) and u guess I just eat when I'm upset... Sad....happy.... I'm just an emotional eater and having to drink protien 3x a day just isn't as good as it should sound. ;-( I hope and I know I can do this. I just need to get my butt in gear and start doing what i need too!!!!

Lol. It Suks. I ate this morning ;-( I have 19 days to drop 20lbs. I feel like I can't do it .. ;-( I want the surgery so bad. But now that I can't diet I'm thinking it might not be for me

I know!!! I cheated. It's super hard when you have a family you have to cook for everyday. I have no choice but to do this!!!

Last month I gained I'm on my 6 month diet now I have to lose the weight if I want to have surgery

Omg! I need to lose 20lbs by the 23rd of this month and I haven't lost anything!!!!! I'm on a protien diet and starving!! I gave in and now I feel so hopeless ;-( how do I do this??

I was thinking about giving them to family and maybe a yard sale... But ouch! I have a lot of name brand stuff lol I would hate to see all the money go down the drain

Soo.. for everybody who has surgery... What did you do with your all of your clothes??? Aw I fold as wash mine I'm thinking... Wow I have some good stuff lol

Thank you for such positivity

My husband and step father and my father. I have lots of family to help it just Suks that it happend. My mom had the sleeve and went from 250 to 129 and she said she wanted me to have a surgery to feel better and to be more active so I'm determined to lose the weight and have the procedure done

Thanks guys!!! I'm very excited!!!! Day 2 of my pre op diet of for months and I've lost 4lbs its a start and I can't wait to start feeling like the 21year old I should be ;+)

Yes I have 5 kids now. And my 9 year old sister has down syndrome so I'm really nervous I want to have my surgery but I don't want nothing to happen to me because she needs me and so does my son and 2year old brother and it was suppose to say I lost my mom unexpectedly not my son...

Hi, I'm ava. I'm new here. Well about me. I've been overweight since childhood... I had gd during my pregnancy and had my son 1/19 of this year. My mom passed the night before I had my son unexpectedly. Ever since January my weight has just been going up and going up.... I went to the doctor yesterday and I have one month to lose 20lbs I want to lose 25 because I know I can do it. Not for me but for my siblings (9,8,6,&2) and for my son (5months) although I'm paranoid about having it done I have faith and I know everything will be just fine. Hope some of you guys that were in my situation about being nervous and scared can give me some input on how you got through. Thanks

Hi. My name is Ava I'm 21 and have a 5 month old Son. I will be having the bypass in 4 months. I lost my mom the day before I had my son unexpectedly. It's had a major toll on me I eat for everything. If I'm sad, happy, upset, alone. I'm starting my diet today. I want to lose 25lbs by next month. I will be working out for 1 1/2 hours each day and drinking protien shakes 3x daily for 2 weeks then 2 and dinner for the other 2. I'm really motivated because I also have my 9, 8, 6 and 2 year old sisters and brother. My 9 year old sister has downs and she's my motivation. I want to be able to get on the floor and help her when she has therapy. I also want to be able to run with my son when he gets older. I'm 5"6 and currently 311 I was 292 last month so I went the wrong way with my progress. Well, I look toward to talking to others.... And getting questions asked thanks
