  1. I haven't had my surgery yet, but I just wanted to let you know you've got this! ;-) I have a hard time with the mobile app, but the desktop isn't too bad. You'll get the hang of it. Just don't be afraid to click icons. Just remember to follow your surgeons instructions and know that you have this!


  2. @sonkat5355 Thank you for your comments. I'm trying to see a "professional" because I have known I need help for a while. I was supposed to begin sessions with her tomorrow. She called me late yesterday afternoon and said she had made a few errors and the earliest that she could see me is on the 16th.

    As for calling someone, unfortunately, I don't have anyone I can talk to. I only have 1 friend and she's rarely available. The other person, whom I thought was a good friend, hasn't answered my calls or returned my texts in over a week. The only other person that I counted as a friend hasn't returned my calls or texts in a year. Sometimes I really think there's something wrong with me.

    My head knows I'm not to blame for his actions, yet my heart still cannot seem to let go. I'm in a better place today, but my heart is still heavy after reaching out to two people who told me once that they would always be there for me if I needed them. Neither of those people have reached back. Since I am an emotional eater, I thought I would reach out to strangers since not even my new therapist will see me right now. Pretty bad when you talk to someone for over an hour, cry three times in the office, make an appointment to see her again in 10 days and then she calls the day after the darkest one you've had in months and says she can't see you because she made a few errors. It made me think that the errors were me.

    Thank you for reaching out. It means a lot to me that a stranger would reach out when the people I know, that claim to love me, won't speak to me.

    Oh, in answer to your question, yes, I have 3 children 10,12,& 17. They and my mom are actually the reason I'm still here. As much as I don't want to be here most days, I could never be selfish enough to leave them alone intentionally. It's the main reason I sought the bariatric surgery. So I could be here for them. So, I'm trying to pick myself up and dust myself off. I just have to get through the 18th and then I know it will be mostly smooth sailing from there with the exception of April 22, which I think I just decided I'm going to try and make that my surgery day. The day I leave my fat and him behind forever after. Yeah! I like that idea! Now, here's praying it works out that way! :D

    Thank you again! You just made my day. God Bless!
