Hey all I've been quiet up until this point my day has finally come check-in time is at 12:30 3/28 my nerves hasn't kicked in as of yet not sure if it's because I've had several surgeries before being thyroid removal, gallbladder, C-section & pins inserted in to both my hips but I'm pretty sure when I get there then it will all hit me & I'm ready!!! I hope everyone is doing great & having a speedy recovery I think I'm one of the last ones for the month so with that being said see u all on the loser bench!!

Good luck to all our end of the month Marchies. This is the last week and then we are all in the post op thread!! I wish you all nothing but a breezy recovery- dont snicker- many on the Losers bench had it pretty nice. I suffered a bit, but its all worth it. I pray for zero suffering:-) :-). There are going to be quite a few hotties in the very near future-male and female!!:-)

Tomorrow is the BIG day!!!!! Praying for you guys to have a Successful Surgery & Quick Recovery!

Hey March 4thers Good Luck & a super super speedy recovery!!!!!!

Okay, couldn't really tell by some of the names but from looking through the posts, I didn't see any guys on your list.
Surgery date is 11 March. Start my liquid diet tomorrow. I've read a lot about the nervousness and anxieties about getting closer to the actual date. Gotta tell y'all from a guys perspective it's no different. The scary part for me is about the liquid diet preop. After years of being on the "diabetic roller coaster" ( as one of you ladies put it), I'm really not looking forward to having to check my blood sugars that many more times in a day. Especially in the business setting I work in. Maybe it's a guy thing about showing one of my weaknesses...don't know.
Anyway, aside from all the anxieties I really am looking forward to having a new life. I'd be honored if you'd add me to the list for support and in return I'll offer all the prayers, support and well wishes that I can.

And seriously folks - THIS isn’t about vanity - I ROCK my thunder thighs and big ass and budda belly - SERIOUSLY - I’m quite positively the most confident thick girl you will ever meet -

I’m in an industry where I have a laundry list of clients (clearly can’t “name") who even at the “ideal” size and are completely delusionally insecure. IDEAL - which varies all over the spectrum - has as many insecurities as the overweight - the too skinny - the fill in the blank - we all have an idea in our mind of what makes us beautiful - if we didn’t I don’t know what I’d be doing for a living - but I digress...That perfect size 2 little girl - who seriously can’t see her perfection in the mirror - she prevented me from doing any WLS research years ago... I’ve said it - some beautiful people out there are insecure - there is always something. - I’ll get a size 2 client and she will be all sincerely insecure about this or that - and I’m thinking girl I have ONE thigh that weighs more than your boney tushie...AND I rock it. On the other hand I’ve had clients who have been thick - even very thick - and exude an addictive confidence and sincerity that you just want to be near and emulate...there was no rush - always thought I’d fix this on my own time - until last summer...

Don’t even get me started about the young girls and the muffin tops - been hiding my “muffin top” since 1974 and proud of hiding it. Never would I intentionally pull down my drawers and show that sh** - no one wants to see it - SO PULL YOUR PANTS UP PEOPLE

I’m Chicago and very sarcastic - lived a life that positioned me to be on the defensive - and even with my weight I’ve always come out and made fun of myself before anyone else can...I am confident and beautiful - I KNOW THAT - at the end of the day - my confidence doesn’t erase the quiet shame I feel - how the co-morbidities will kill me many years before I’m ready to leave this earth - and how I’m selfishly doing this for me - not for society - not for the cameras or the people I live among - I’m doing this for me and for once in my life I don’t care what the scale says - in 18-24 months I will have hit my lowest - I’ll probably see a 15-20% bounce - and I’ll figure out what my ideal - did you see that MY IDEAL is - and it maybe something I had no idea I could do...

I’m ready for this party to get started - ready to move from the shame and to the complete woman I have always been - last summer was brutal - hot and moist and horribly painful - my kiddo’s begged to go for walks or bike rides or beaches or pools and I just didn’t have the energy - I can’t live another season on my couch - I can’t spend another decade on a computer - and I can’t afford to spend anymore time messing with 8-10 meds that make me look like I’m “healthy” on a medical exam... from this note to God’s ears (he has always been in charge) I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me - for us - all of us here...

thanks for stopping by.

Hey fellow Marchers! So i've decided that although my surgeon is not requiring me to do a pre-op diet I'm going to do one anyway. I just don't think the way I have been eating for the last week or so is what he had in mind ( I need some structure). I am a month out and it looks like some of you did a low carb for a couple of weeks and then shakes for the last two weeks. Is the low carb diet like Atkins where watching fat is not so much an issue but carbs are below 20g a day or is more like south beach with lean Proteins, veggies, and low-glycemic fruit like berries? Anyway, hoping some of you can help give me some direction here so I can get myself on track. Surgery is on the 21st so I am a month out now.
