I obnoxiously take pictures of myself all the time now! I can't imagine how I'm gonna be when I lose my weight lol!

Did anyone find out anything about this?

I have this same problem....so I decided I am going to focus on small goals. I would love to be under 300 pounds. I want to wear a size 18...instead of focusing on the massive amount of weight I need to lose.

All my babies!

July 1st!

Is anyone else headed down on or around July 1st? I'm having my surgery done at mi doctor with dr Alejandro Lopez. Who else is gonna be down there!

I want a video of mine!!!! I'll invite the whole family over to watch it

This whole thread made me giggle inappropriately!!! God I'm such a little kid! Lol

I'm so glad that you didn't lose your beard with all that weight! Gotta love a good beard on a guy! Lol. You look freaking amazing!

We are making the drive down from Fresno...about 7-8 hours.

Ginny, I guess that might work...I've just heard horror stories about people being delayed coming back over the border and missing their flights. Hopefully it works out

I am sensitive to that adhesive tape as well. If used for long periods of time, it pulls my skin off and I have reactions similar to this, but never this bad...my goodness that looks painful my dear! Hopefully they can get it sorted out for you at the doctor

I'm scheduled for the same doctor and hospital on July 1st!

I'm July 1st!!!!

I've never ever been thin in my whole life...so part of me kinda feels like I won't ever be...even with the surgery.

A lot of times things like this are just fears coming out in the wrong way...especially if it's someone who cares about you. I've gotten a lot of the same texts from someone I was seeing and I simply told him...I've been overweight my entire life. I didn't just wake up one day and decide that I was going to go into Mexico for surgery, a lot of time and research went into this. Also it's still going to be a lot of hard work but I don't want to spend another year of my life struggling the same way I have in the past. I want to finally fight a winning battle and this is how I am going to do it. I also told him that I understand how afraid he must be and that if I was in his shoes I would be the same way but that I would show him more respect and love than he was showing me, so if he has anything else to say...he needs to think about if it is coming from a place of love, or a place of fear before he says it...I have enough fear in my life and I don't need the person that loves me adding to it. Be strong girl! It's gonna be wonderful!

Gonna pay my deposit today after my check clears!!! Then I get my date!!!!! Yay so excited!

You deserve this. As a larger woman, I have give to so many people while neglecting myself. I too had acne growing up and was overweight...I never got a chance to truly love myself enough to do something that would be purely for me! At this point I don't feel the least bit guilty about finally doing something for myself! And neither should you!!!!! Be happy that you are changing your own life and damn what anyone else thinks!

I love love love looooove that dress you are wearing in the very last picture! Freaking adorable!

Ok so I'm kind of in love with pouched foods. These are just an example of some that I bought at the store but I also have a contraption that allows me to create my own pouches at home with whatever I want! Love love love love even though it's baby food lol!

Yay!!!! Super exciting!

Well I freeze them and eat it like a Popsicle. It's not to high in protein but when I'm craving something sweet I like to have one. And with my personal pouch maker I have made higher protein ones that I keep in the fridge...lol something different I guess

I always want to post everything because I'm not really telling to many people in my life and you guys are such a support for me so every little thing I have to come and share!

It's really lucky I'm having this surgery because we are running out of room in my bed! My 5 month old Great Dane weights 70 pounds and as I'm shrinking, she's gonna be growing! Oh goodness me lol
