Just wondering.....
I'm up for chatting, not really wanting to date until after the surgery and I have lost weight.
Just wanting a buddy pen-pal now. Who knows what could happen?

It's a new chapter in my life as I pack up all the things my Ex gave me over the years, I put it in a box and put it away.
I woke up not sad for the first time I woke up rejuvenated! That I will find somebody who will want the same desires as me.
For now I start the most important task: Taking care of myself!
Seeing the Bariatric Surgeon is the first step this coming Wednesday. Then taking the rest from there.
I need to rebuild myself inner to outer.
This is my Time to Shine.

@@Pinkgirl1234 I agree that is the best revenge!!!!! Being happy and healthy.
I find that the ones who commented so negatively with me were very much insecure themselves. So just the thought of me being happy and healthy just made them cringe.
Time for revenge.

Okay that makes sense that you have to schedule that after. Thank you all for the responses!
I'm glad it moves fast. I want all the paperwork done! LOL

I'm seeing Dr. Flavia Soto who spoke at the seminar and I really like her that's why I chose her.
I'm going on August 19th. They said it will be two hours.
I will see the Nurse, Dietitian and her but I wonder when they fit in the Psychological Evaluation?
Did any of you have it the same day as your consultation?

I agree! I think my former friends loved it when I put on the pounds! Hence the former friends. When I was young and thin they used to always complain to me how beautiful I was back then. When I first started putting on the pounds it gave them more power to knock me down and smile at my ailments with the weight.
My ex boyfriend his mother was horrible about me being big, she compared her tiny figure to mine all the time. When I mentioned I wanted to lose all the weight. She would always go quiet. Her favorite phrase to me was. "Now I need to lose four pounds and I know from the way you are I probably don't look it."
Glad to be rid of the negative people!

Just what we all want a nice vacation where they cut out 85% of our stomach! *rollseyes*
I swear some people think we are doing this for fun!!!
My GI doctor who I have known for years when I told her I have a consultation with the Bariatric Surgeon she gasped and in a mortified tone told me "Cancel it, surgery is too drastic and dangerous! there are no quick fixes!"
Have you guys noticed whenever bariatric surgery is mentioned somebody comes up with the "There are no quick fixes."
It makes me wonder if my GI doctor thinks I'm thinking in my brain "Great! After surgery I will snap my fingers and POOF just make the fat disappear because I' m all of a sudden this magical goddess."

Thank you all so much for your kind responses. I truthfully have been over the relationship for three years, it just hit that he permanently shut the door when I thought it was always open. I know I'm better off!
Your stories about making lists are awesome! I need to do that. LOL
I keep thinking of Kelly Clarkson's Lyrics "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I'm glad I found this forum because to be honest I wasn't impressed with the people in my Weight Loss Seminar:
Now do I approve of surgery for somebody just needing to lose ten pounds? No...Seriously that did happen in my weight loss seminar. There was a woman just needing to lose ten pounds wanting bariatric surgery. She complained about her back aches and knee hurting. Yes I know extra weight is no fun. But to be cut open just to lose ten pounds in a blink of an eye is not a good idea.
One guy started yelling when he found out he couldn't smoke marijuana afterwards and not be issued medical marijuana.
One woman's cell phone kept playing annoying music throughout.
These two older woman acted like Twelve year olds when the word "Dumping" syndrome was announced they laughed so hard and said "Poop."
I felt as if I was in the Twilight Zone gone berserk!
Then came the end portion of the questions:
"Will I ever be able to eat a large bag of chips again?"
I think the doctor was at her wits end by the end. She quickly left the room.
Then a fight broke out between two woman screaming at each-other about who needed the surgery most.
The nurse asked if one of them had been drinking!
I left so fast at the end I didn't even want to know the answer.
I can laugh about this now but trust me at the time NOT FUNNY!
Has this happened to anybody else?
Like I said it was a mixture of the circus in the twilight zone during a bad dream.

I don't Think that fate rules our life I just mean it was fate him and I met not knowing That we shared the same illness. Thank you!
-
Thank you so much! We both have the same Mental Illness which is odd because we didn't meet in a Behavioral Health setting we met random at a Community College. So I see it as fate.

So my ex and I have a Lot of love. What we realize is it takes two whole individuals for a healthy relationship not tWo halves. He and I are in no contact for a year while he works on himself through counseling etc...I'm of course am working on weight. When we meet up down the road we will be in a Healthier place. Sorry for jumping the gun On my other posts.

Somebody hold my hand!!! *looks around nervously*
Seriously I'm petrified!
I just got out of a decade long term relationship tonight. I need time to grieve and get myself put back together. (Sounds like I'm humpty dumpty or something. LOL)
So what happens in the dating world when I'm ready?
Anything new?
Kind of been out of the loop for a decade!!
It's weird considering myself officially 'single'.
Right now I'm not a good candidate for being in a relationship I have too many bags for somebody else to help carry. LOL
