Ok, I live alone and don't work do to my knees and weight.So if I can geta heads up , on what to do , maybe it wont be that hard when I meet my nutritonist....I know this is going to be hard for me. As of right now, I have NO FOOD in my refrig. Not really looking forward to shop. Any advise? elite52

I also thank you for bring this subject up. I do believe God has a special place for people like us. Sometimes we go throw life careing, parenting and giveing support to others , that we tend to forget or not realize what is going on with our bodys....I sit and ask myself where did all this come from, I mean when I really looked at my body mass.I cried for hours and came to a point where I almost went the other way, as to "oh what the heck, I'm here already so what?"But my heart and mind told me that I am better than that...So one of the nurses in my doc. office had the Gastric Bypass, and she said to me Quote" this is not for you". Than when I looked at myself and ask ms why did I not look at me than, was she tring to tell me something? Anyway, after that day when I meant me, that is when I took control and agreed, its time to do this. You don't know how important these threads means to me "Very Supporting" I thank all and Bless all....we are doing something for us! elite53:biggrin0:

Starting my VSG Journey...I think
elite53 replied to mysparky's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well hello lady's, "Mysparky & Chilo1", I am so glad I read your post. A lot of things you both said, hit a nerve.Well everything both of you said is exactly what I have been feeling since Aug 19th. I went to the seminor and was going with the Lap-Band, well I quickly changed my mind after reading how many people have gone with the Sleeve instead...I am 350lbs and my BMI is 54 so you know I am really serious. I am 53yrs old and have a lot of youth and no real heatlh threats. I have high blood, but I think this wil take care of that. I was seeing a theropist for awhile and have to see her again do to my new advanture to stop the pain in my knees and back. I am really greatful for your post....Hopefully I can read how you both are doing and once again thanks for being here for , well someone you don't even know but "understand" Have a great day or evening and good luck, everything will be ok....elite53:thumbup: -

~~~~~~~~~~~~Want the Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elite53 added images to a gallery album in Member Photo Gallery
I never thought I would be doing this, but I have tryed everything out there to lose the weight, and nothing worked . So for a long time I was in denial and had to come to terms with the truth," I can't do this alone, I need help". I am glad there are people that can support you on this site, for no one ever believes you, they just say what they think they should say, but you can feel it (negativity). Thank you Elite53 -

I went to see my Primary Doc. today and she didn't say it, but I think she wants me to go for the Lanp-band....? This is a surprise to me being she knows how I feel about needles and pain....Why would she not be on my side? Help me to try and understand?

Yes I am 350lbs and looking for the best way to come out of my skin. Yea, I said it , for if you look at it, we spend a lot of time looking and judgeing other people and not looking at ourselfs. So you don't have to be skinny to come out , you just have to be true to yourself......I am scared to death of makeing this move, but I know if I want to be happy and Mobile, I need this. So I thank all for the posts that I have read and hope yous will be there when I'm done.....Good Luck everyone....Rose:scared0:
