Sparklette

My boyfriend wasn't 100% on board when I started talking about it, He was the same way,"why don't you just diet and blah blah blah" And I was like, You have been living with me for three years, You know how I eat! I eat very little, and mostly well, I go to the pool three times a week, and I'm not losing nearly enough to be healthy. I told him that I would like his support, but I'm doing it wither he likes it or now, because I want to be healthy, and have children, and I don't want to die by the time I'm thirty, and If I'm not dead, I don't want to be living only by a case of medication. After I exploded all of this, (and cried a little) He got on board, He's coming with me to the dietitian today, and said that He'll even start dieting too, not as hardcore as I am, but eating clean, healthy foods, and no more fast food. (he could afford to lose a few lbs. also) But If he loves you and wants you to be happy, He will come around.

I don't think I'm going to tell Facebook, I'm just going to post a few pictures and if they ask I'll tell. I just don't want to deal with negative reactions until after I get it done. I'm going to tell my boss after I get a real date, so that I can get my time off. But other than that I'm not telling anyone at work. There are a LOT of judgmental assholes, especially this one girl who lost 100 lbs the "natural way" and thinks that everyone else can do it too, and the surgery is just cheating for lazy people.

I really want to just go ahead and post it on facebook, because I'm so excited, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate

I saw these while I was at the store today.has anyone tried them? 10g Protein 150 calories 1g sugar 5g fat

I've told a few close friends, My boyfriend, and my parents. I've been back and forth about posting it on Facebook, I'm not sure if I want to tell everyone or wait for them to see pictures of lighter me. What did y'all do?

He said it was ambitious, not impossible, If that's where you want to be work hard, set your mind to it and you can do it. Who knows, maybe you'll hit a weight and you'll want to stay there, even if it isn't at your goal, I've noticed a lot of post op people saying that.

You should be pissed at him, I would be furious, you specifically asked him not to tell anyone, and he did anyway. You shouldn't be embarrassed, it isn't their business, and if they can't support you for trying to save yourself then screw them. You are doing this for YOU, and that's the only opinion you need.

I have all of my pre-op stuff scheduled!!! EKG on thursday, Nut on friday, and Psych on monday. After this I just need to do the pre op edu classes and then I can be a loser!

So have any post op ladies noticed an increase in your sex drive? Just curious.

I'm going to get a Phoenix, They symbolize rebirth.

And also, When I went and got weighted I now know that my scale at home is 100% unreliable. I'm 457 on the scale at the hospital, My scale at home was saying 520. so either I lost 70 lbs in a 5 minute car ride, or my scale is wrong, which was a really nice surprise.

Okay so I just got home, My Doctor talked to my insurance company already, and everything is good, I just need to see the nut and the psych and I'll be ready for surgery! My insurance doesn't require six months pre op weigh in's which is FANTASTIC and my doctor said that if everything checks out then I can have surgery by mid August! I'm so freaking excited, and so happy. Also at the same time part of me is a little disappointed that I didn't have to wait 6 months, now it feels like it went from walking at a snails pace to that of a Jamaican Olympian, it feels real now, not some made up hope for the distant future. I did my blood work right after the consultation, and I have an EAG(?) on Thursday, and my dietitian on Friday. And now I'm just waiting on the Shrink appointment to be scheduled and then I'll be ready to take the pre op classes, and then It'll be surgery time!

I think it's a sign, in the waiting room there is a "sparklette" water fountain

I am in the waiting room, waiting for them to go through my paperwork. I am still nervous. But it'll be alright, right?

I love this site, because that's what I've been doing, I'f I'm hungry, I come here and look at everyone else's success, or progress, or talk to people who are having the same issues and I feel so much better.

My consult is tomorrow, I'm so excited. Thank you for all the tips. I will ask all the questions ever! ;D I don't know what's going to happen, they gave me all the patent info papers at the siminar, I filled that out last week, so I don't know what's going to happen. I think they will take my bmi and tell me what I need to do to start my journey. I'm worried that they will put me on a 6 month diet, I don't want to have to wait six months. I just want to get it over with so I can start my new life.

I'm the same way, my boyfriend is getting tired of me going on and on about what I'm going to do after, or how this is going to change, or oh my god look at that dress, I can't wait to be able to wear something like that. It's what's been going on in my head since I found out that our insurance covered it. It's been like an rny-a-thon in my head. I'm terrified of the day that I stop obsessing over it. I'm just so excited. I started writing everything that I had been thinking about the surgery, and I've filled up a 70 page spiral in a week, and there is still more. I just can't wait until I can stop daydreaming about it and go out and live it.

My dr said grapes are fine, just not the skins.

I scheduled my consultation for Monday the ninth. I'm so excited. But really nervous. What happens during the first consultation? anyone wanna share their experiences?

Same here with the sex lol

Wow, That would be crazy if this was a fact, I dunno....guys?

Bacon

The beach Dressing up and looking good. Dates with my boyfriend without people staring Movies and being comfortable in the theater Not burning up all the time Engagement ring shopping Not adjusting my clothes all the time Finding cute and comfortable bras Shopping!!!!!!!!! Being normal and no longer being the "self esteem boosting comparison" fat friend Amusement parks! Skydiving Playing paintball with my friends instead of watching from the side lines I have written like three pages on this topic and I am finding more things every day

My shop does that too, but at a half inch it is hard not to notice someone with large lobes. Lol And my ears are back to normal anyhow, I home my tummy is as fortunate.

I am also concerned on how they are going to turn out after everything
