I just wanted to introduce myself to the community! I had surgery November 27th it was soo scary for me but I was so tired of being overweight!! I would always hear awhh mija you would be pretty if you werent so fat!! Or yu have a pretty face but not so much of a body! I always had a smile on my face and tried to act like being big didnt phase me that I was happy with myself but I wasnt!! My insurance made me jump through alot of hoops but I did it today im six weeks out of surgery and I'm down 40 lbs!! Im excited and very scared!! The scary part is that I lost those 40lb being on a liquid diet!! I am just now able to eat food and soo scared that Im going to gain all the weight back!! I tried to think positve and have happy thoughts but i feel no one understands me. Thats why i love this web site a place to meet people who understand me and now what im going threw!!! I had bought a scale but my husband hid it from me because I was becoming obsessed I felt like I needed to be losing weight everyday so I now only weigh myself once a week. i hope my sucees continues I only have a goal of being 200lbs sure I would love to get down to like 160lb but to me this surgery will be a success if I lose a total of a 100 pounds!!! I hope by reading this you will feel you know me a bite and will want to be my friend!!
