I agree- my favorite thread as well. Until I came across it I felt like (compared to) everyone else that had WLS was already skinny Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

That's so inspiring. You don't know how "possible" I think success might be for me (in spite of my doubts) when I read this kind of story. THANKS and CONGRATS Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

You aren't alone. At 55 yrs. old, over 450# I'm petrified. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I'm starting to think I'm not as crazy as I thought. I've recently read your post about being "ill prepared" for surgery and wondered if you somehow had read my mind. I'm almost finished the "hoop jumping" and admit I'm struggling with the "I'm not worthy" feelings. That doesn't help in expecting good things for myself. These forums have really helped deal with these "crazy" feelings. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Wow David - so you lost over 200 lbs in just 9 months ? That's incredible - congratulations on your success and way to work hard !!!! Not sure if anyone can relate to this but I'm (pre-op) having a hard time mentally thinking I will experience these kinds of successes. I don't know how to explain it to my wife but it kind of seems like watching a movie, a story of something happening to other people. At 460 lbs, the thought of some day (relatively soon) being "out of" the 400's or even close to 300 just seems unreal !!! I'm sounding crazy huh ??? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
