12/7

Biggest fear not losing 10 lbs before Dec 7th. This whole journey has been one upset after another, I have fought to get this date, now my insurance company demands 10lbs before I can actually have it. I am a bad eater, i can go all day and not be hungry, I have only lost 7lbs since I started this and now 10 in 2 weeks? terrified to fail again.

Just got my date dec 7th count me in

This is not easy for any of us. You have come this far YOU CAN DO THIS. I Have smoked quit and smoked then quit and so on.... That is why you are feeling this way. Go read about the emotional effects associated with quitting. Stop beating yourself up! YOU CAN DO THIS. ONE minute at a time if need be. Rest drink a lot of Water and in a few days you will start to feel a bit better, write done your reasons for doing this read them when you get frustrated or feel overwhelmed . IT HELPS! Good luck.

Great question... I am clueless still learning

I am new here and shocked by your posts, I find it hard to believe some of the things I have read. Why would you put yourself through all of this to still make excuses and LIE. I was told I was overweight my whole life. From my teen years on. The irony.... I WAS FAR FROM IT. My voices from my childhood said otherwise. My first husband became one of those. As I look back I was underweight, I have and HAD HORRIFIC EATING HABITS. The realization of this comes now when I am CLEARLY OBESE. I weighed 121lbs on nutrisystem as my husband (at the time) made fun of my fat body. After my third child I weighed 141lbs and was so insecure I would not eat. Now 24 years later that insecurity and all of those bad habits took a toll. Now 120lbs overweight I know this is my doing. I never ate , my current husband has loved me and supported me through it all. NEVER ONCE SAYING ANYTHING NEGATIVE about this large person he is now married to. He married me 130lbs ago and the only time my weight has ever been an issue was when I was 112lbs. I did this no one else. I did not eat or make sure I took care of myself. When that light bulb kicked on , the damage had been done. I eat and I store it. I have been on every diet, tired anything and everything to lose weight. I no longer care about the weight I CARE ABOUT MY HEALTH. I am Pre-Diabetic and terrified of what I have done to myself. This is a chance to reverse the damage I have caused. TO LIVE A HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE. To grow old with the man I love, HOW CAN YOU IGNORE SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE , no one forced you to eat certain foods, place coins or weights in your pockets. THOSE ARE THE REASONS YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE AND YOU WILL BE RIGHT BACK HERE IF YOU REFUSE TO EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CHOICES!

Thank You for allowing me to vent. I just feel like I am getting nowhere fast. I have been researching this for 6 years, It the hardest decsion I have ever made. I guess I am afraid that it will all fall apartand I will end giving up .Just feeling drained. Thank you for your replies, noone understands how hard it is to make this choice and the emotional rollacoster that it entails. So glad I found this app. It is the first place I have come across with active members. :)

I am new here, hoping to get some advice. My insurance required 12 week pre op program. I am 2 weeks away from the finish line and I feel like I am running in circles as soon as I complete one test or receive clearance I am told I need 4 or so more. I am about to scream , I don't get why they keep adding new obstacles. I should have my surgery date next week and I can't get the referral to meet the surgeon! I am so ready to give up. I have used all my vacation, pto and my life revolves around this program 6 to 8 hrs a week I am a full time student dbl major work 60 hrs a week and have other obligation. How have you all done this ? I have no free time, nothing just stressed. Anyone have suggestions Sent from my SM-N900P using the BariatricPal App
