Set the date up I'm excited but sad that no one in my family supports my decision !!!! All they say is exercise And stop eating so much !!! Its been really hard for me because i had never been at this weight!!! Ive been involved in sports all my life and after my son i have not been able to get on it i dont go out because im embarassed for people to see me !!! Im just ashamed of my body !!! Now im scared of my weight even my knees hurt sometimes , if u see me you would say it doesnt look like i weigh 210 pounds but i do

Remember, you are doing this for you. I am going through the same thing with one of my sisters, she keeps telling me all you have to do is this and this. I just stop talking to her about it, after telling her no matter what she says, I'm going to do it anyway. It is our choice my body, and I want it a lot lighter than it is now.

Im just soo frustrated !!!! I thought i had the credit cards to pay for it all come to realize i dont !!! I asked my father for his and he tells me i dont need it that just eating less wiill do it !!!! I was so optimistic about the surgery and my dad tells me im putting my life at risk!!! I have a 2 year old and it just gets me thinking !! Idk wht to do !!!! So my boyfriend and i will start insanity and their nutrition from here to december my father agreed to let me borrow the card if i try hard !!!! Believe me if i didnt have to do this i wouldnt but what choice do i have ???? I cried all day and im really frustrated !!!!

I remember being 210 lbs and thinking - that's not SO much. I don't weigh 300, I can do it on my own! And now I'm 305 lbs. I wish I could have done it on my own, but I've come to the realization that I just couldn't/can't. Food is a crutch for me, and I need it to not be. We all wish we didn't have to take such drastic measures to do what looks so easy for some people, but we can't. I haven't told my mother I'm having the surgery. I think she would act the same way as your family. I wish you luck and I hope you find a way to pay for it!
