I confess I am enjoying that my clothes are comfortable.

I confess I wish I could free myself of the scale.

I confess I am really enjoying sex...and so is my husband.

I confess I feel really bad for people who don't have the support of their spouse because I am convinced my husband is my personal angel sent to be my rock.

I confess I have researched plastics even though I am not even close to goal.

I confess I could easily eat over 1500 calories if not careful and mindful and don't know how some say they have a hard time getting 800. My nutritionist has me between 800-1000 and I have to log every bite.

  • I confess that I confessed several months ago when I was only about a month out, but now that I'm five months out I have new confessions.
  • I confess that at a month out, I thought I had these cravings kicked, that I'd never use food to self-medicate again etc. after all, I had no desire for food anymore.
  • I confess that at five months out, the mental part of this journey is rearing it's ugly head again. It's a struggle not to give in to temptations. So far I'm doing pretty well at saying "no" to myself, but I'm scared about being able to do this forever.
  • I confess that I LOVE my sleeve! I LOVE that I get full after just a few bites. I always wanted to be able to eat a small portion and be satisfied by it. Now I am!
  • I confess that there are people I avoided seeing because I had gained so much weight and I'm looking forward to being able to socialize again without being so self-conscious.
  • I confess there are certain people who hurt me in my past that I am looking forward to seeing now that I've lost so much weight.
  • I confess that I so badly want to get into the "normal" BMI range, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much just in case it never happens.
  • I confess that I love this thread :)

Having just been in with my therapist yesterday, the whole body dysmorphia thing is tricky. Even in photos (the ones I've taken) I can't see it. I wish I could! I'd like to see the numbers on the scale reflected in the mirror, or at least in my head, where it really matters.

The numbers are moving for me and I just convince myself that I will eventually see it! I'm very happy regardless!

- I confess that I was sad when I heard the McRib was back. I really want one.

- I had a chocolate chip cookie yesterday

- I am afraid to loss my hair

- I am slave to the scale' date=' but now only weigh myself once a week every Friday, starting last week.

- My husband gets on my Nerves telling me what to eat, while he is eating pizza 3 days a week.

- and the worst of all I didnt tell my mom about the surgery, because i did not want to hear her mouth about what I need to do to loss weight, although she smokes a pack a day.

(Sleeved Nov 7, 2012, Pre Surgery weight =312, Surgery =weight 300, Weight as of 11/30/12= 282!!! ) [/quote']

We sound so similar in everything. I was sleeved on November 12 and my highest weight was 312 like yours. I'm 280 today... And I didn't tell my mom about the surgery for the same reasons... Who also smokes a pack a day haha

I have a new confession...

I confess that I am getting really freakin annoyed with Aetna, as it's been 3-1/2 wks since my surgeon submitted. They said all was in order & now they are nit picking. So I'm just about ready to throw my hands in the air & say screw it, go do that veggie juice fast from the Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, guy's documentary. Ugh. I was hoping initially to be sleeved by October, now I'm not even sure it will be before next summer.

I confess

I love weighing less than my husband now. He has also started watching what he eats.

I want to say to those who are waiting to feel sexy and confident, to feel it now just the way you are.

I love discovering sugar free vanilla and carmel skinny lattes and even better finding an inexpensive latte machine, so i can make them at home.I look forward to this every afternoon.

Almonds is my new snack.

My hair is falling out a lot now. Clumps of it even though I take Biotin, all my Vitamins and all of my Protein. I had thick hair so wasn't too worried about losing some of it, but now getting a little worried. I wonder where you can get wigs like Kim has on housewives show.

I confess that I love Pork rinds and the go down way to easy.

I confess I never get in enough Protein or Water.

I confess that I have a new love for walking.

I confess I hate to watch my family eat, it makes me sick to my stomach.

I confess I step on the scale every morning.

I confess that I hate it when someone tells me how skinny I am, because I am still 225lbs and far from skinny!

I confess I wish my husband would tell me he was proud of me for loosing 50+ pounds instead of him telling me how much weight he has gained.

I confess that I am scared of failure even though I am only 3 months postop and see results every day.

I confess that some days it is just easier to be unlikeable, and I like it that way.

I confess I have a new respect for my fat friends, because I know what its like to be fat and what it's like now to be lighter.

I have yet to confess so here goes:

- that I am so excited and joyful to be be losing weight and getting to a goal weight that I have never seen before(other than on my way up).

- that I am deathly afraid and scared to be at this goal weight(or firstly under 200 pounds).

- that I don't really know what this fear is except that what do I do when I get to goal

- that I feel sad for other fat people that don't/can't have this surgery

- that I am afraid of new relationships because to me I will always be the "fat" person that they really will never know.

That's all for now....................................

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
