Who needs sex anyway ???? Way overrated!

@ good morning!
I deal with the same thing around that TOM even though I am menopausal and haven't had one in about 4 months. I don't know if doctors give RXs for Water retention post surgery because we already are kind of high risk for dehydration
usually if you are retaining it means one of two things. too much salt or you are not drinking enough fluids and your body is saving (retaining) every last ounce because it's doing what it thinks is right.
IMO...check salt contents in food, make sure you are drinking Fluid that are also low in caffeine and stay off the scale.
good luck and I am dealing will the same issue. scale will move....just have to stay the course and off the scale!

Woah! This Syntrax nectar must be very good.
I was thinking about trying Muscle Milk, it has 32 gms of Protein and good reviews on Amazon. But I guess I'll try Syntrax.< /p>

As a PCOS fighter, I have been dealing with obesity my entire life. I'm 5'4 and my lightest weight was 180 when I was 16 and 207 when I was 22. My HW was 290. My current weight is 266 and finally decided to go for surgery.
I remember back in middle school, when I used to be the fattie one. This has never changed. I was also the fattie one when I was in High school and college.
I love fashion and going out so I always try to look pretty and ignore how big I am. However, there are some times that you look yourself in the mirror and you just can't accept what you see.
Sometimes, when I used to go clubbing with girlfriends, I remember never being asked to dance... and when I was asked , it was usually by the weirdest ugly looking guy in the club. My girlfriends would always find guys asking for their phones etc... I never had any luck.
I never knew what to feel admire by guys was like, some of them would only be open for sex but nothing serious, or "booty calling".
I know some of you know what I mean.
3 years ago I was lucky to find someone who not only saw a body carrying 207 lbs, but also saw who I was. I'm currently weighing 266 and he still makes feel beautiful.
I never had the same attention that regular size girls get.
It's not all abouy attention, it's also about the residual effects that those experiences gave me.
I remember saying I was going to achieve my goal weight at 25.
I remember saying I would never consider weight loss surgery because I could do it myself.
I'm 26 and decided to go for surgery. I don't care about the negative things that people will say, this is my decision. They don't know I have been through a lot.
So wish me luck on this journey.

I'm 5'4 and 266 lbs. My goal weight is 130. I can't wait!

Anyone with surgery on the 28th? With A Lighter Me?

When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.
I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

When you actually start to like who you see in the mirror!

When you lay on your side and you can feel your knee bones rub together for the first time and it feels weird so you put a pillow between your legs.

@@JennG25 Hey man, no judgment here! I completely understand what it is like to be in the situation you are! If I would not have had the $$ in savings, I probably would have done the same thing. It sucks, but you do you! Just make sure to pay your loan on time, pay big chunks off with things like income taxes or other big checks and get healthy!

Hi Jenn,
I also have PCOS and am in the process of getting the sleeve. Just like you I am tired of fighting with my weight and ready to make a lasting change. I have the support of my husband now but I understand how hurtful it is to feel like you don't exist to people or your not relationship material due to weight.
Good luck on your journey! I hope we both have great success:)

I'm 5'4 and 266 lbs. My goal weight is 130. I can't wait!

Thank you so much for the support and kind words. I need it. I will do this for me.
I don't want to see myself crying in a fitting room while looking at the mirror. Or avoiding friends just because I don't want them to see me this big again.
I falling in love with this community. I feel like I'm not alone ???? thank you.

I am so happy to hear that you made this decision for YOU!!! Because of this reason alone you will succeed and do great!

Good for you! I too wish I could have done this at your age. I've also struggled with my weight since childhood. I'm now thinner than I've ever been as an adult or teen - it is really wild! Great that you can get a new start so early in life. It's truly life-changing in so many ways.

@@JennG25 Good luck to you! The only regret I have is not getting WLS sooner, so you are way ahead! Keep us posted on your journey!

Congratulations on your decision and good luck! I am glad you made this decision for yourself and not for others. I think a lot of people get held back by worrying about what everyone else will thing, but this is a very personal choice and only you know what's best for YOU.

@@JennG25
Bravo! I wish I would have had the courage to do this when I was your age. I agree with Jamie. This is you're choice. Its going to be amazing.
