Drs appt went very well...even got a hug from my PA because she was so proud of me [emoji7]..love my bariatric team!

Omg...I'm glad you had an in tune surgeon! Sorry he couldn't do the sleeve at that time ...I wish you a speedy recovery before your big day! Good luck [emoji2][emoji106]

I'm so sorry you are going through all this....I wish I could offer some advice [emoji53]..best of luck to you finding a doctor that will help you get well.

You are beautiful inside and out!! So proud of you! Congratulations [emoji3][emoji106]

Thursday Aug 18th is my 6 month appt with my Surgeon's PA and the NUT...I'm hoping to get taken off my blood pressure meds! [emoji3][emoji106]

Daniel that is amazing! I love all the different types! [emoji7] Thank for sharing [emoji106]

I hear he puts on a great concert! I look forward to your posts...You are very supportive to everyone...good luck on your journey! Taysidebell...Thank you!

Congrats!! [emoji106]

Thank you so much reeniemay! That saying is so true...Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels..in my case ..thinner...lol

I tend to stay away from lettuce....it really doesn't have much nutritional value and I'd rather not waste tummy space with it...lol

I have been fighting something similar to this for a yr and a half...Baxter's-itis.....my Dr gave me a script for custom inserts but recommended not getting them until I have lost most of my weight....I also bought some shoes that a lot of Nurses wear and they are so comfy and cute...Alegria

I'm closing in on 100 lbs lost and I still see me at 325 lbs...I'm actually 230 lbs at the moment....That's a lot of weight lost but when I look in the mirror I just don't see it! [emoji35][emoji107]????

Clothes are so frustrating to me!! I'm down to 229 lbs, but I'm still huge! Size 20-22 pants depending of the brand and between a 2x and 3x shirts [emoji107]????[emoji107]????

I've been getting worried at the amount of food I can eat now that I'm almost 6 months post op....for Supper last night I was able to eat half of a 7oz piece of salmon and roughly half of a baked sweet potato....at this point I wasn't stuffed...didn't really feel "full" either ....then for breakfast this morning we were meeting friends at Denny's and I had no problem eating 2 over easy eggs and 2 pieces of bacon....this just scares me! [emoji53]. Anyone else have these fears? I still have a long ways to go...I'm sitting at 233 and my surgeons goal weight for me is 155.... I started this journey at 324... Surgery weight 295.

It's Scarey! Definitely don't want to fail at this [emoji107]????

WTG! You look fabulous! [emoji3][emoji106]

Yep on both counts [emoji107]????

Only one way to find out! [emoji3][emoji106] Good luck!

You are adorable!! Congrats!

Looks like you are well prepared!! Good luck! [emoji3][emoji106]

Djmohr...congratulations on your success...I want to be you someday [emoji12][emoji3][emoji106] You look fabulous!

Cervidae...omg you look amazing! Congratulations!!! I hope I can be as successful as you [emoji3][emoji106] You are truly an inspiration...I feel a little better that I'm not the only one that has this self image issue...I need to get a before and after picture side by side and see what I see..lol

That's a good idea to take pictures before...I didn't but I'm sure there are some that exist of me at my heaviest! [emoji3][emoji106]

Lol....patience is the key on this journey! I just wish I could turn off those thoughts for one day [emoji3][emoji106]. Onward and downward!!

I'm sitting here thinking...will there ever come a time in my life that I am not obsessed with losing weight? A day that I don't think about being thin? A day I don't wish the weight would come off faster? A day I don't question if I'm doing something wrong because I'm not losing as fast as I think I should be? A day I can walk into any clothing store and pick something off the rack that actually fits and looks nice? Just thinking......[emoji51]
