Feeling alone and discouraged so I'm walking away from everything and everyone. Don't know why I feel this way and I pray and ask God to help me and to guide me but I must can't see or hear what he is telling me. Well maybe I'm just dumb or maybe he isn't saying anything to me. All I know is that I'm tired of this feeling of being alone and people not talking to me unless they want or need something. Time to leave

Hello everyone I just found this website!

A little about me,
I have been overweight since 8 years old. I have tried working out and diets for the last 20 odd years and with no luck have gained to a max of 435lbs. I am healthy other wise and pretty active.
I started this weight loss journey for RNY July 2016 and got my Surgery date for August 28, 2017... but just got a call for a cancellation for June 5 or 19th ahhhh, so soon!! I am excited and nervous at the same time, I will know in 2 hours what date I will get.
I had my Gal bladder removed in 2014 - so I have experienced Dumping syndrome since then if I have sugary/high fat foods.

So I am not going to scour this website for the next 2 hours waiting for this phone call.

Welcome to the forum! It is very exciting news. I hope you get the 5 June surgery date. Keep as positive as you can and we will see you on the loser's bench before you know it.

Thank you BgR72 for the kind words and the words of wisdom

My family is not surpportive. I'm doing this alone

I pray that all goes well for you

Take it one day at a time, I know exactly how you are feeling. I actually didn't tell anyone I was having surgery which was my choice but when it came time to reach out because of the decision I made the only person I could run too was God.
He has definitely comforted me and reminded me to be patient during this journey.

I'm here whenever you want to talk and help support each other.

I know this app has definitely helped in so many ways reading and asking questions.

God will always be with you. I am in the beginning of my journey and I had to say no to people around me who always want something. I did it for myself so I can concentrate on my health & to prepare for this new lifestyle. Sometimes you have to be selfish and let others know that you have to concentrate on getting healthy and you wont have time or brain power to deal with them. This is the time for you to continue moving forward in your new lifestyle. Nothing no one says is important. What is important is that God is with you & he will never leave you. Your family your friends may not support you & or stop talking to you but ... God will always be with you & you can always talk to him. Your help comes in the name of the Lord who made heaven & earth. Please lean on the Lord to guide you & keep you strong. In Jesus name. Amen

Wow just seen your post and picture. You are looking great. But I do have a question. How long do I have to wait before going to the dentist?

So now that I've met my goal I wanted to post an updated picture. My high weight was 252....that picture was taken Easter Sunday 2016.....I had surgery May 16, 2016.....and now 7 months and one week later today Dec 23rd....102 pounds gone forever! I've never been happier!!!

I had my full bypass on 11-28-16 and my weight was 352. Went to see my pcp on 12-2-16 and my weight was 339. I go see my surgeon on Thursday I wonder what my weight will be then. I'm 8 days post-op.

I've always been overweight. I honestly thought it was normal when I was younger because my family was full of overweight people. Almost two years ago I lost an uncle to congestive heart failure. He was very overweight, had sleep apnea and other health problems. I'm overweight, have sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more. I've tried to lose weight many different ways but it never sticks. I finally got tired of feeling like I'm dying in my own body. Don't get me wrong I love myself but I don't love all of the extra weight. It's damaging my whole being. I was scared of the surgery but then I found out my aunt did it and since I've considered it, I've found so many helpful people that it makes the process seem simple. I know it's major surgery but I don't feel alone in the process with being able to reach out to so many people over the Internet. I'm new to the process so I have a few appointments to go but hopefully everything goes well!!

I am looking forward to being able to walk through a store like Walmart with out using a ride on being able to stand up long enough to cook a meal. To be able to put my own shoes and socks on. But most of all to get off all this medication.
