hardwork&dedication

I don't know. I'm obsessed with watching my 600 pounds life and other weight loss shows. I think it's just a form of not wanting to feel alone in this journey. As long as it is not getting in the way of completing other necessary tasks, don't worry about it too much. I am sure it is just a passing phase. On the other hand, having a professional to talk to is not a bad idea in general.

Hello everyone,

In about a week I will have my 4th supervised weight loss doctor's appointment. As the reality of having surgery looms closer, I am really waffling on whether or not to proceed with the surgery. My husband and my family are really against it, they think I should be able to lose the weight on my own. I am really scared of having bad reactions to certain foods after surgery....What if I want to have a macaroon in Paris one day? Or some of my (hypothetical) children's wedding cake? I'm really worried about doing something that is so permanent when I still have doubts. To make matters worse, I really don't like my surgery coordinator. I think she was really rude and condescending. Also, the wls support group that they referred me to seems to not exist. I've been twice and no one was there. On the other hand, I'm scared I won't be approved for surgery in the first place. I gained a little weight on the second month of my weigh ins (although I am still down 18 pounds overall). The weight loss doctor told me this is very bad and can be cause for being denied. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Look like a new man! Congratulations.
