    I know exactly what you mean!! I think that may be part of why I allowed myself to gain so much weight to begin with. Regardless of how much weight I gained, I always saw the same person in the mirror. But when I would see a picture of myself, my mouth would just drop because I couldn't believe how big I was and how disgusting I looked. Its pretty much the same thing now. I don't see all that much of a difference when I look in the mirror, but when I look at a current picture of myself, I think, wow, that cannot be the same person! Keep up the great work!

    Omg that was so me steady gaining weigh looking in the mirror comparing myself to other big ppl saying its ok im not that big

    I did not realized i was living my life in bondage. My body was/is my cage. My fat is a leash. Once i started losing my little walks are like freedom. My body screams get up move dance it craves it my mind say no remember walking hurts dancing causes pain. I fight my sub conscious everyday and each time its a sweet surprise I can move i can walk. I never knew how much i missed it. Mentally i wait for the pain and i approch each movement timidly. But the pain never comes so i do more but my leash hold me back still i realize im not ready my journey is still not complete but i reached a new level. So tomorrow i will fight to walk again enjoy the surprise of no pain again and walk a few steps futher. My body is my canvas it is no longer my cage my fat is my clay each movement shaping and twisting it to chisel a better me. My movement is my freedom.

    I played a game of football catch with my son today we even had a jogging contest. He knows my goal is to play a real game of basketball with him and his father.

    if they say its the easy way out tell them to jump off the bridge this is anything but easy. I not only have to work as hard as the person doing exercise but im doing it on less fuel. If they say it happens quicker that might be true but i put my body and soul through trauma to better my circumstances if im a "cheater" for that then so be it but i make cheating look good. Hello beautiful people. I refuse to be ashame for doing this i say it proudly cause the results are speaking for themselves

    Most Dr. Dont have a problem with refering you if you are morbidly obese i hate that word. But my dr did want me to try and lose the weigh before she referred me but some surgeon offices does it all mine didnt but i didnt need a dr referrel to go to them i needed my dr to refer me to everyone else like for my lungs and heart and such. So i say go to your sergon office and find out what they need from you but i would still get a PCP because it good to have

    I dont really have regrets but i do wish i could really eat lol. I mean im 3 weeks post op and i can tolerate soft foods but i had to because i could do absolutly no Protein shakes all of them made me vomit and so did Water. Me and all liquids are not friends except warme tea with lemon and honey and gatorade go figure. But i started exercizing early since these are not the idea foods and drinks its working. And im able to eat a littlw more depending on what i eat. But im now 63lbs doqn so i gueas i started loving it the day i found out i lost 29lbs 2 weeks after surgery. I mean its not my beat friend but i appereciate it.

    At 450lb i could understand what put them in a position of not wanting to move or leave the house. I also could understand not having enough money to see a dr when they noticed how bad it bad getting. I can also understand being in an unhealthy relationship when you feel no one else will love you. Ive been through all these things at some point of my life. Hell i can even understand eatting to fill the void im sure we all can underatand that. But i hate their dr he is an a*****e. I could NEVER eat as much as they do. And how the hell did they make it pass 600lbs when i thought i was going to die at 450. But i watch it while i excercize because i feel like i can relate to alot of their issues and i know what im fighting for. I started this because of that show. I am fighting to not be them. Because i can understand them.

    Hey ThinJenne, I was wondering how've you been getting on since your surgery. Are you feeling ok or still pretty sore?
    Not sore at all most days are pretty good just hard trying to find new full liquids to try. Today has been my first bad experience where nothing would settle on my stomach and threw up all day but al in all i think im doing ok

    Today i want to take the time to say good bye to a friend that hung around my neck like anchor. I want to say we had many bad times togather and i truly will not miss you. I will not miss being scared to take a nap for fear the whole house will hear me snoring. I will not miss the pain that came from walking out my house to my car (the less then a 1 minute Walk ) I say dear friend you did not do me well at all so i bid farewell to the 400s and i say to the 300s don't get comfortable i've started the eviction paperwork on you for you must leave me soon as well!!!!

    Gallstones is a maybe hair loss is to a certain extent and can be battled with vitimins Gas some people has it worst then others the sooner you start walking the less there will be. Luckliy ive had no issues with gas pain but i do get gassy if i feel uncomfortable i walk and never let it settle in to cause pain. Yes to hunger this is not a stavation surgery you will get hungry but you will need to learn your body over again. So hunger may not feel the same as it use to. I was use to feeling like i was starving so now a little hunger feel like im not really hungry at all. But mentally i know its time to eat and a few spoon full holds me for hours. chicken is Protein it will definately be back in due time. Don't stress yourself out with tears and dont worry about sleep once you get out of surgery the hospital will have more then enough meds to make it happen.

    I wish you so much luck on your journey we all have our doubts and fears but name something thats worth having that does not come with risk. Life is everything and we have to deal with alot before and after surgery but we are fighting for our lives. Almost every risk is worth that even a bald spot Lol be strong You can do this
