One of my favorite shows was King of Queens. There was an episode where they referred to Doug as Fatty McButterpants. I thought it was funny.

When I had to come up with a screen name, I thought it was appropriate.

I chose BeachLover because it is the one thing that can soothe my soul without even trying. I live on the beach and spend many hours getting my natural prozac fix. When I reach goal I am going to freaking surf and hopefully it won't kill me!!! :) This is a picture of the beach I love!

To start, my name is Megan, and there is a lottery game in MA called Megabucks-- growing up my mom called me Megabuck as a nickname because she felt like she won the lottery with me :) 886 stands for my birth month/ year- born in August 1986!

I lost my husband two years ago. Didn't think I could live without him. I heard this song one day "Blue Skies". It always lifts my mood makes me feel hopeful.Once I decided to become healthy and start my life again the name felt appropriate.

This is such a sad and beautiful story and name.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you well in your journey!

I had a boyfriend who remained friends with one of his ex's. we were at the "meet the friends" stage and she made it obvious that she had no desire to meet me. Barely said 3 words. Later found out that the "pet" name she and her fiends had for me was-- you guessed it--Godzilla. Presumably, because I was large and ugly (merely a guess since they have said anything to me).

So my name is a reminder that people may judge us, but their opinions never define who we are as people. At the end of the day, I can lose weight. however, there is no surgery to cure geriatric mean girls of their narrow minded bishy ways. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

      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!

      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!

        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.
