I forgot to add I'm 28 and i'm currently at 335 pounds. I'm wanting to lose about 130-140 pounds. Whew, that is a lot of excess weight - an entire person. Oh well, that is what we are all here for.

Welcome....it is funny you say that because my goal is to lose about two to two hundred and fortu pounds in total....I was talking to my kids and I literally need to lose an overweight person...or more thanmy husband.....when I look in those terms I just get depressed so it try not too...

Instead I go into who I am going to be.....I have a spectacular life. A career I love and am highly respected in my field. A gorgeous family of 4 of our own kids and 2 adopted...... Coming from being a formerly abused wife and all around relAtionship screw up. Lol....to being married to my twin soul and incredible man who will only drink liquids while I am I the house so I am not effected during my 4 week liquid diet...this is the only thing left to fix or create in my life. I get the mental and physical I am going to have to go through during this process and I have my when I am thin list....but just curious question here....one I have found To be important because with change comes fears.....

What do you really think is going to change in your life? Not just what are you going to do once it's gone but with major weight loss comes major change..,.what do you think or fear is going to change? For me it is what am I going to work the hardest on during this change....for me it is no more having my weight as an excuse....an excuse to not build my career more, an excuse to spend money, an excuse to be moody and miserable....oh oh just don't get it your not fat!!!!! How is it going to effect you???

Knowing this answer and working on it can be the difference between our success and our struggle........really.....what the heck am I going to do without that excuse to hold me back because my fears get in the way of succeeding?.

Whether it is positive or not, healthy or not. Our fat has become our comfort zone. What we are used too..what we use.. I don't know about you but I do not want to be the fat girl stuck in the skinny girls body.....I have spent way to many years being the skinny girl in the fatso's body......

Kj,

I can't wait to meet you and your Mom at the hospital. It is going to be a very good thing for all of us. This is like pushing the reset your life button. Messed up the first time, so we start again and make wiser choices :)

Hang in there with the liquids, you can do it :) I am doing about 14 days, Dr. A required 10 for me. I have gained some weight since I sent my paperwork in, so I am giving myself an extra few days to get some more weight off. I am having a family get together this Saturday and that is the end of my eating whatever I want.

Welcome MsDallasSleever!!

Hey Joyce

I took 5 days off so I could adjust to the drinking on day 5 and doing good.....My energy is starting to come back up...I am a fan of fat sick and nearly dead and so I did what they suggest for a juice cleanse I slept a lot of the first three days so I could let my body just heal....Brian my husband worries too much, but I am doing my best to get my Protein in and am a fan of as natural as I can...

that is really my only struggle...I have done so much research so much learning and all the chemicals in the Protein Drinks are killing me...lol....but it is a means to an end...hugs...

I understand. I do know that some people cannot tolerate the Protein powders so they make shakes with a Greek yogurt base. That way you can flavor them as to your own taste. I think it is a while before we can make fruit type smoothie drinks, I would prefer those made with the yogurt base myself. There are companies that make a Protein Powder that is unflavored that you can add to yogurt and other soft foods.

I will check out the juice cleanse :)

Maybe I need to do that too.

Hey all :) A couple things...

1) The question of the day yesterday was so much fun yesterday. You all had me either tearing up with happiness because I can't wait for you all to hit those goals....or tearing up because I was laughing so hard. MGM ...i thought about you this morning as I was being a contourtionist lol!!!!!!! So, If you guys would like to keep it going I'll post a question each day, INBOX me a question and I'll post a new one each day. I think that would be a great way for us to all keep involved with the thread and learn new things about eachother.

2) icle1234-Dr barker dallas tx

MsDallasSleever Dr Wade Barker

are you two aware that your both having surgery on the SAME day with the SAME doctor???? How cool!!!! Are you guys going to meet!?! That'd be cool, just saying :)

3) one of my sleever sisters is having her surgery tomorrow, please keep her in your prayers. She had her endoscopy today and she said she didn't feel a thing ...that puts me at ease since we have the same surgeon :)

4) QUESTION OF THE DAY!--So, I know this is completely vain, and rude, and selfish :) ...but im going to go there. I know theres atleast ONE person in your life who you want to look completely hot in front of after you lose your weight...so they think to themselves "wow she lost a lot of weight, she looks great, that bitcccchh!" who is one person you want to make jealous???

I think mine would be my boyfriends step mother. Shes over weight too, or was (haven't seen her in a couple months and she had weight loss surgery , not sure which one)...anyway shes always been a complete b***h to me and when i found out she had surgery I first thought "how the hell is she going to lose that ass" then i thought "i dont want her to be smaller than me" ......now, since im prettier...of course, i want to rub it in her face. She always bragged about her sons (now ex) wife....how pretty she is. But never says anything about her step sons girls, or her other son's girlfriend. So, I want to get completely hot ...throw on something cute and show her that my figure is WAY better than hers! Okay, vent over :)

Who do you want to show off to??

Now the weight...I know what an awful goal....but whatever works....*grin*

Well there was friend that I grew up with..since we were 4 yrs. Old. She always brag she being pretty she always found a way to put me down no matter Wat I did. When we were teenagers we use to go to parties and guys would ask me to dance instead of her but she would always say They were maybe drunk. Both of us were chubby. So I met This guy that wanted to be my boyfriend but I didn't accept him I just wanted to be friends. Well he ask her out . But supposedly me and friend had promise no guy would stand between our friendship.. well she married him. Now I saw them last year. I gain a lot of weight ans she is the same she looked at me up and down and said "wow. You look different your husband might be happy with you."

Now I know it wasn't a real friendship at all. Just wanted to be popular like her.

I want to be skinny and for her to see me. And see that I am pretty ans smaller than her..lol I want to walk next.to my husband in a really sexy dress.

I know its bad and cruel but I'm tired of being the ugly one.

And i know I will. Lol

WE DESERVERVE TO FEEL ALIVE and WANTED.!!!!!!!!! Right.???

Mines would be an ex who I loved so much but time after time he broke my heart, even though I've been overweight most of my life, I never had low self esteem. (known as the cute chubby girl that dresses nice). This guy would always go back and forth with me and another girl until I just got tired and it made me feel like something was wrong with now my self esteem is low. I wanna run into him after my weightloss and walk with my head high and my butt poked out and laugh at him if he tries to say hi

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
