I'm so sorry for all your experiences. I told everyone at work about my surgery and they have been nothing but supportive. I am still out on FMLA and haven't been back to work yet but I'm sure they will continue to be as supportive when I get back. I also am the manager so maybe they just act nice in front of me but hey I don't care I'll take it!! Stay positive and remember what others think is not important, we have to take care of ourselves and our well being. Keep on losing and keep on smiling!!!!

Going out on the same limb as Anna Nim
I have read all your responses to the original post, So here goes,
I am truly sorry for the situation in which you find yourself currently, and Your estranged Husband may have all the
health concerns you mentioned, and he may be involved as you say with his children.....
However, Men often keep their insecurities hidden, He is totally living a
Separate life when he is not with you and has been for some time, and I am just gonna say it, He is and has been having an affair in some fashion, via internet, facetime, or in the real......but I promise you "conversations" are cheating.
STOP Pining away over a Man, who is not able to be who you thought he was.....and YOU have to be okay with that, with being on your own, Standing in the Present Woman that you are.
YOU need to stand up and be strong...get a key to his apartment and a sitter for the boys and do what you need to do.
Stop chasing him, @@Anna Nim, Anna is speaking truth, stop chasing him, calling after him, "checking" him. He is a grown a$$ man, let him think he has it all figured out.....
I am sure you don't feel strong, I am sure you are doubting yourself, I am sure you are looking around your home and thinking why would he want to leave this, leave us, leave the ones that love him the most? You may never get those answers, I am very sorry to say, Many a good woman has been left behind for something else.
I would never want a marriage to dissolve under any circumstances, so I will of course Pray for you and your boys and your husband, I will also pray God gives you the eyes to see what you need to see, the Mind to make the choices that need to be made, and the heart to Love yourself and your boys through this situation.
In closing I am just another woman whom has graduated from the School of Hard Knocks~~

@@goplay94123 i did always have an hourglass of sorts even when i was huge. my waist was my best feature. i can't believe that first photo actually where my stomach is flopping over like that. it's hideous. i haven't waist trained but i might just to make it really small and take the focus off my terrible legs lol.

Down 61 lbs. Now since Surgery date of 1-6-16. I will post pics soon.

June 6 las vegas

I did not have to do a long pre open diet lost about 10 in the beginning during the 90 day required diet supervised by my doctor. Now that I'm a week away I have to have rhe same diet as you Protein Shakes twice a day and I can have one healthy meal until three days before surgery then it's an all clear liquid diet til the day. I can't believe it's do close only 6 more days to go. I haven't been that good with my diet do far but I'm going to try to be better these last couple of days.

Hi Nikki I am schedule for June 6 as well. How's your pre-op diet going?

Congratulations!! I just got approved last week and will be going in June 6. I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

OMG we are going in on the same day and at the same time. We should be surgery buddies!!!

Thank you guys I'm super excited just don't know when my pre-op diet starts so I've been having a food funeral the past couple days lol

I am scared too. I have all these things just rushing through my mind mostly what if I fail? Stuff like that.

I got my surgery date last week--on my birthday!! Yeah-June 7th!! This is my gift to me from me....a new beginning for a new way of life! I am so excited, and as the time draws closer, I expect to feel some apprehension--maybe.... Getting people trained to cover for me at work is my biggest headache right now. (You;d think I was going on a 6 week cruise!)

This is my first time on something like this. My surgery date is June 16th. I am so nervous and excited at the same time!!
