Hi Jenn, sweetie, this must be such a bittersweet time for you. I am so sorry about you and your husband. My husband left me back in '99 and I thought my world had come to an end. But, it had only actually just begun as it gave me a whole new life and I found a wonderful new man. You mentioned your mother-in-law will be there for you tomorrow, that is so sweet that she is still standing by you and there for you. Everything will go just fine and I am sure you will feel so much better once the surgery is over, your band is in, and you have begun the healing process, both physically and emotionally. My thoughts are with you. Please let us know how everything goes.

Sorry to hear about the husband I do believe everything happens for a reason so keep your head up and I wish you the best! We're October newbie sisters:whoo:

Keep us posted on your progress and good luck tomorrow:gluck: !

Oh by the way, I had been joking for months b4 surgery that "I'm bringing Sexy Back!" and that song of course was the theme going into surgery and coming out! It made it fun so I suggest if you feel the same way take your ipod or music player & get in "Sexy" mode while jammin out

Hi Jenn. So sorry to hear about your husband, it can be so hard when things don't turn out the way you thought they would. But you have made an incredible choice for YOU and your health! I wish you much luck on your surgery tomorrow, I know you will do well. Please keep us updated on your journey.

GOOD LUCK, i think soon you will feel better about yourself as you lose the weight. i try not to rely on others to make me happy , yet look within and try to be grateful for all i have and all my blessings. i think it is hard to be married and then suddenly be single, though ive never been there or done that, but i know that women have the amazing ability to bounce back and enjoy who they are , i think we can do without men way better than they can do without us. maybe because we are very nurturing. but we can nurture ourselves. let us know how you are doing after the surgery. careful not to push it . rest. take care.

well, you're banded, you're on your way! congratulations!!! I can only imagine what all is going on with losing your husband, but just think of how great losing all your weight will be! Those first few days I found myself thinking... what have I done?... now, I just had my first fill and it is the very best decision I have ever made! I am so thankful and happy... there are hard days and great days, so... take your time, rest, walk, walk, walk... and you will be on your way!:clap2: Jana

Sorry that you're having to deal with that stressor at this time. Fortunately you'll have the support of MIL.

I had my banding about a month ago and, though it's been a rocky road at times, I know this is the best thing I have done for myself in years. I too, went through the "what have I done to myself" stage but it passed.

Keep in mind that you need to move alot after the surgery as part of your physical and emotional healing.

You have many and happy and some not so happy days ahead of you but hang in there. You are one tough cookie or you would not have decided to take this step in the first place.

Good luck to you - hope your recovery is easy breezy.:clap2:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
