Hey all, this has been a very long journey for me. I completed all of my classes successfully, went in for surgery in November and the day of the surgery it was cancelled. WHY? Lol, another story for another day. Either way u did not give up and a rebegan my commitment this February. On May 9th I went under and I am four days post opt. Excited is not the word. I never cared about my size because I feel big is beautiful....I have always been gorgeous. In fact I have a tattoo that says ms. Big and beautiful. However there is nothing sexy about unhealthy and with my weight climbing, the complications were crazy. I've been obese my entire life..I wore a womans 14 when I was ten. A womans 22 at 18 and ive been a 28/30/32 since I was 20. Im 30 years old now and my weight when I began this journey was 398 on the day of my operation I was 364. Of course by looks I never felt I weighed as much as I do, but I am working towards day five of a healthier specialer me....:-)

Congrats! You are beautiful - but you will be healthy AND beautiful after getting some excess weight off!

I agree and you are too...so happy to know that I will be able to run after my kids and not want to pass out lol

Yes you are beautiful and we will be healthy and fab!!!! Had my surgery on 4/29 and it was scary for me. I cried when they took me back and my poor husband felt so helpless but I am doing great if I could just figure out what to eat

What stage are you. I experimented with all types of foods in liquid and puree stages prior to surgery, I may can make some suggestions....
