I Just Found This Web Site And Am Looking Forward To Getting Information From Others. I Am Sick And Tired Of Being Fat. I Am 39 Years Old And Have Always Been Fat. I Hate Myself, I Am Miserable With Who I Am. I Work 12 Hrs A Day And Make No Time For Exercise. I Dont Enjoy Anything Anymore. I Want To Have The Surgery But People Around Me Tell Me That Is Stupid And All I Have To Do Is Just Start Exercising And Cut Back On Eating. Ya Know I Wish I Had Thought Of That. That Is What Pisses Me Off, People Telling Me Why Im Fat And How To Fix The Problem. Most Of Them Are Not Fat And Will Never Be. I Need Some Advice From Someone Who Feels Like I Do. Thanks.

i need to lose 100+. i'm 5'6 at 305. i feel every pound. my knees and ankles are killing me these days. i live upstairs and its even becoming difficult going up and down the stairs several times daily. i can't wait to get started.

I am very anxious as well. I just wish that Christmas was either 6 months earlier or 6 months later.... I think it will make the pre opp shakes easier to take and not too many family events at the time.
