Ate one piece of fried chicken today !!! Feel bad

Been re-admitted to hospital. Lost consciousness early this morning. Looks like I'll be having my gallbladder removed. Starting to feel like a crumbling old house. Every week something else needs repair! Grateful no leak was found.

I cant live my life like this any more. I waste time so these doctors think . Ten yrs and not able to eat it is bad eough lkiving with the leg ( Hip Dysplassia )

Lap band surgery yesterday

Never put a status up here before... I'm doing it now tho... Mainly for the attention!!!

aaahhh surgery tomorrow!!!

Hi everybody, It is 5:50am head out to the hospital.. Today is the day.. Wish me Luck !!

This will be the first time my step daughter has seen me in a year since WLS. I pick her up from the air port tomorrow. ( she lives out of state) Everyone that lives close have seen the wight loss. They are over the shock. I'm dreading her reaction and questions. Damn I'm nervous.

Feel like I'm the only person getting the lapband !!!!!!!!!

Feeling so, so, so, soooooo much better this week! Trying to get back on the "Loser Train" after a 2lb gain last week. I'm feeling motivated

Just had my 4 year sleeve anniversary

43lbs down

Still waiting and waiting for that call...

One pound away from 40 gone! I think when I hit 50 I should celebrate with something fun. Maybe a trip!

3 weeks out and feeling more like 'me'. It feels wondeful !

Same days I wish I had someone to burp me like a baby.

What a difference a day makes! Getting myself back on track one day at a time! Avoided brownies, went to a support group, and tried on some awesome size 16 pants! I'm getting it together, slowly but surely.

I realized last night at the Y that I'm now at a point where I feel "normal" fat as opposed to "feel like I have to apologize for taking up space and offending people's eyes" fat. I'm still obese, but I notice that I don't immediately race from the pool to wrap a towel around me to cover myself up now. NSV, I guess?

I lost 6 pounds this week!!! 30 since surgery 7 weeks ago. :-)

Depression starting to kick in. I view this web site and read all the stories and look at the pictures of everyone who is starting a new life. I still don't know if I'll be approved for the surgery and may not know for the next 5 yrs. Surely if there is a waiting list of 5 yrs wouldn't someone still get in touch with me before hand? Okay, living in Canada we are use to waiting for certian specialists. I waited one full year to see an arthritis specialist. But come on!!!! No doctor in this city does bariactric surgery and it's so necessary that the doctor has 5 years of patients before me?!!? This just sucks. I'm going to have to just forget about this site and the surgery if I'm going to make it to 5yrs from now to see if I can have the surgery or not. F*ck it, I've always been fat and alone. this site is wonderful for those who don't have to wait but torture for those still stuck. I'm out , or I'll be boo hooing for months. Learned a lot here and may see you all in 2020.

My surgery date is on the 25th. I'm doing the Lap-band sugery. Will be starting my liquid diet on 15th Aug, is that too late?

helllllppppp

I think I'm depressed... AGAIN!! Going to try out a weight loss support group tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be what I need to stop my negative self-talk. .

Finally lost a little weight!! Yeah!

Today my endocrinologist who I just met and has no idea who I really am, refused to refer me to my surgeon so my insurance can cover my gastric sleeve. I'm devastated. I've been trying all day to stay calmed. I don't know what to do. The worst part is being told by my family and friends "maybe is for the best".
