  1. I filed for divorce from my husband a year ago. He is an alcoholic and I just cant take it any more.
  2. I went through alot of emotional stuff the past 5 years. Marraige of 35 years stated going down hill about 14 years ago. I had a daughter that was alway wanting, wanting. I felt I had to give. She had kids, unwed and we had to support them. She finally got married. In the meantime I took care of my aging grandfather who had parkinsons. (83) This past year I moved in to take care of him. He passed April24. We were very close. He left me him home, so I have a place to live. People say, well now that you are emotionally feeling better you prob can loose weight. I did loose 14 lbs during my 6 month evaluation. I am so lost..
  3. wow, all this incouragement. I am having surgery on the 20th. I keep questioning myselff whetherr I really want to do this or not. I have went through the 6 month supervision and day 5 of liquid pre op. I think of how I wont be able to eat a piece of cake have a pop. sounds like i wont eat a normal meal anymore. 1/2 cup of food each meal just depresses me.
  4. I know what you mean. My Dr. said 14 days liq pro presurgery diet. I started sat (5 days ago.) and I am so tired of liquids. I went to mcdonals and bought a side salid and ate it verry slow with 1/2 the low fat dressing that was with it . (2 Tbsp) I ordered metifast chili, and beef stew. I keep having these mind thoughts about trying to loose without the surgery.

  6. My surgeon said that if you are over weeight you have a fatty liver. As you loose it scrinks
  7. I to am scared, I keep saying God is watching and has put this in my path. My Insurance approved my surgury and I have in the past 6 months said yes I want it and no I dont. Now I am yes, but tetteringg Pray ffor me. I will pray for you
