I feel the need to let you know that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it. We are human and we often fail ourselves. Wake up tomorrow and commit to yourself again!!!

Thank you! I am happy to say that I made it yesterday without any junk food/candy! One day at a time is all my brain can take- better eating goals to come! I did set a fitness goal!

Ok, it's been a while since I've been on here. But I'm feeling the need to confess so here goes...

I confess that I'm way more arrogant than I ever thought possible

I confess that I see myself as one hot momma (it took pics to convince me I wasn't before weight loss, lol)

I confess I'm addicted to beef Jerky and I justify the unhealthiness of it by the great Protein amount

I confess that sex is way better now!

I confess that I'm 11 months out and drink alcohol several times a week even though I signed a contract that I would wait a year

I confess that I love my cheese puffs and dont even feel guilty about it

I confess that I don't say it out loud but I am beyond thrilled that I now share clothes with my 14 year old daughter

I confess that while folding clothes I hold up my new panties and just grin at how tiny they look

Last but not least I confess that this is by far the best decision I've ever made, better than when I said 'I do' to my husband!!!

Whew, that felt great, thx

I'm still pre-op, (surgery is in 10 days!), but I've got a few confessions...

1. One reason I'm going to Mexico to have my surgery is because I didn't think I'd pass the psyke eval.

2. I'm more afraid of the flight down there than anything about the surgery.

3. I'm not telling my dad, or any of my extended family if I can help it.

4. I'll be in Mexico while my 4th baby brother is being born.

5. Sometimes I think I'm too young for this (18), but I didn't go to my junior or senior prom because I didn't feel pretty enough to wear a dress, and I don't want to let my weight take any more of my life away from me.

6. I've been weighing myself several times a day since I started pre-op. I'm down 10 pounds, but I'm pretty sure most of it is Water.

7. I ate an entire large pizza the day before my pre-op started.

8. I'm terrified of loose skin and losing my hair.

9. I've been so focused on my upcoming surgery that I've been slacking in my college classes.

10. My biggest hope for this is that I'll finally be pretty enough to attract a mate.

I confess that I too would like to find a mate. My hubby died in 2005. Hoping that I will get skinny enough to feel attractive enough to actually find a new soul mate. :unsure:

Ok confession time...

I have gotten completely obsessed with the gym and weighing mySelf. (I've lost 130 btw)

I eat whatever I want in moderation. I'm in the gym so much that it burns off right Away

I love the attention I get. Reminds me of when I played football in college.

I hated throwing out all my old jeans. It's like burning money. I'm so upset

I feel constipated a lot. I started taking Metamucil to regulate myself, but Jesus. I go to th washroom like 3 times a week.

At my heaviest April 2013. 320

November 2nd 2013 195

I love this thread. I am a little over two months (8-27). And I confess..

- this is harder than I ever thought it would be

- I wish I could eat the way I used to

- since loosing the weight I haven't been hit on once..

- I just now jot rid of all my bigger clothes because I am afraid I will just go back and have to re buy all those

- I eat things I know I probably shouldn't

- posting things in this forum is kinda of scary because of fear of judgment

- I drink alcohol and caffeine

- I am more self conscious now than I ever have been

- I still see the fat girl I was

- I haven't been to the gym

- my body grosses me out

- sex now.. Hurts

- I snack more than I should

- I still think this was the best thing I have ever done for me

- peoples comments about my weight loss makes me uncomfortable

- my family isn't that supportive

My name is Olivia and I am sixteen years old. I was sleeved in June of this year and it was the best decision of my life. My surgeon told me that because I am so young i will have much less excess skin and my body will be more receptive to the surgery in almost every way. I am positive that you will do great and i wish the very best for you. Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions or just want to talk :)

I'm pre-op but I think it's important to get things off your chest:

1. I have told people I'm single because I'm too busy to date. The truth is I'm ashamed of my weight and don't want to face rejection.

2. I'm super excited to have an intimate relationship again. It's been 7 years and I'm 28, I feel so sad about this.

3. I am scared to death to be thin, I hide behind my weight to not be outgoing.

4. I don't exercise, at all. I feel this is going to be a challenge for me.

5. I love soda, I'm heartbroken I have to give it up. I think I'm being naive how hard this will be for me.

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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!
