I hear you! I've been above 275 for almost 20 years. Currently 340. There is that part of me that thinks I'll fail at this just like I have for so long. Surgery is in October, I hope, like you, I can look back and say that I did it.

Well, just so y'all know, in case you didn't already, I'm only here to ogle the hawt guys, and when I'm feeling down, to get a pat on the butt back.
And to throw out the phrase "beg your pardon" every now and then, since that provoked an epic rant the first time I did it.

August 8, 2015, surgery day. 403 pounds.

Wow. Just. WOW. I truly thought I would fail. Never thought I would see size 18 again.
WOW!

I'm a newbie. I feel like a lot of people are throwing pity parties.
"What do you mean I can't have fried chicken and mashed potatoes and chocolate cake for dinner????"
I think the thing I miss the most is grilled cheese. But tough titties I can't have it. I miss Sprite when I'm nauseous (which is like all the time) tough crap I have to live with diluted Gatorade.
I knew I couldn't be around food early out so I skipped 4th of July and Memorial Day bbqs. Did it suck? Yeah! But I ate my oatmeal and Soup like a champ. food will always be there later.

Congratulations for all of the great effort you have made so far!

Great job!! You have done awesome.

Wow is right, amazing job!

Congratulations on all you have achieved so far and all that is yet to come!

Thank goodness someone gets it!
Too bad the others don't get this is not about a piece of bacon.
This is about helping others. It's everyone simply excusing the behaviors and worse yet, telling her to ignore her doctors orders and move on. Yes, we are all human but when you go through months/years of preparation and in the first week that's what you do?
I don't know about you but honestly I was devastated everytime someone gets on here and they are denied by their insurance and cannot pay out of pocket. I remember being so I'll that my doctor told me I had one foot on a banana peel and one foot in the grave.
I just don't get squandering your 2nd chance in life. And for those of you saying well, maybe I wasn't that sick...I ask then why did you have this surgery?
Then we have newbies that simply disregard doctors orders and even worse yet, give some new person medical advice that you know they want to hear.
What the heck??? We are not doctors nor do we know why her doctor has her on a liquid diet for so long. She was a revision, right? Why didn't the first one work? I don't know this nor does anyone else but maybe, just maybe there is more to the story.
Others read this and assume that oh, 1 tiny piece of bacon didn't hurt her so I would probably be ok too?
This is not all about the OP. This is about people who have not had the surgery yet, or just had it or have not even gotten to their goals giving the OP advice to disregard doctors orders.
Some people want to hear those words.....and will act on it.
Too bad if people think I am being mean. I think I am being upfront and direct. Read whatever you all want in to that but someone has to shake some sense into those that just don't get it.
Ok.....I am officially done ranting.
