Pre Approval Stage

Hello All,   Well I just took in everything my PCP needs to sign the clearance form, from there I go to approval stage and then surgery date. I'm excited and nervous. I've been overweight since I was 23 after the birth of my son, I was 110 when I got pregnant. I'm 5'3 and 212 right now, diabetic, and sick and tired of being fat, sick, and tired! I know what it's like to be thin and let me tell you the way people treat you when you are overweight is awful. It's true, it's not in your imagination, they are treating you condescendingly, rudely, and sometimes downright awful. And it bugs me that "thin" people have this pre disposed opinion that you eat copious amounts of fast food on a daily basis, do not excercise, and drink soda constantly. I love this one, "You should try eating more vegetables." Don't you want to lose "THE WEIGHT". HATE that one "THE WEIGHT", damn it's so shaming. In fact my diet right now is not that bad and frankly I'm a little concerned that I will be one of those people that will take a year to lose 50 lbs.   If any of you have had a "slow loser" experience can you tell me what you have done to fascilitate weight loss.

Approved and Surgery Date Scheduled

Hi Everyone,   Well 4/3/2013 was my approval day!! YAY! Surgery is set for 4/24/2013. I'm feeling a bit excited and looking forward to getting this over with. Sure will be nice to be thin again. But most importantly it will be nice to be HEALTHY I'm looking forward to hiking again without heavy breathing, and to a half hour on the elliptical, and to fitting into a pair of jeans with a zipper again, to not being the fat girl in the pictures with friends and loved ones anymore.   I'm wondering how those of you six months in are doing and how much weight you've lost already? What do you eat now? How does it make you feel? Do certain things make you sick?
