Sitting in the bathroom crying. I'm not a crying person. Emotional + caring yeah but crying me wow!!! I'm actually hurting. I didn't realized I had feelings. For the 1st time in my life I'm not getting my way. I was a teenager when I got married. I learn everything from working to cooking to cleaning. I thought I was the perfect wife.

Omg! I wasted my life. Have 3 kids. Always depended on him to take care of me. Yeah I went to school & had a great job. He promise to take care of me forever. I believe it. I was a teenager. I went into the 20's now I'm in the 30's... I could have done better with my life. The only thing I love are my kids. I have to be the world most dump stupid woman. Now I feel like a Total jerk. God must have other plans for me.

I had an aunt that had the lap band and left him after she lost her weight, and I think, women in your shoes aren't horrible, but being overweight I think we think that he is the only guy that loves me and so you marry him, but when you realize it wasn't a health relationship, thats when its time to make a change and do it for yourself. I think marriage can turn into a problem when before you might of needed his help, and he feels like you don't need him. I would suggest sitting down with your husband and bring up your concerns and let him give you feed back and let him bring his concerns to you, and try to find something that would work for both of you.

I feel the same way you do Mami. I cry about once a month but can't get out of my living situation cause I don't make enough to be on my own but to much to get any help. My daughter should be out of daycare in the fall plan on putting all that money away and be able to start over again.

Good luck to you it's very hard. The government is nuts. If you have one dollar extra you get no help.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
