Yes stay strong!! The way I see it is yea he wants you to stay the way you are. And it could be because of his insecurities and it could be because of your insecurities that you chose to be with him and stay with him. Sometimes us big women are so scared of being alone that we settle. And yes I mean settle just so that we have someone. And we stay with abusive men because we feel we don't deserve better and who would want us. Get the surgery and focus on you and your healing physically and mentally. Not only does this benefit you but your children as well

Thanks everyone!!

You can do it!!!

I know when its that time of month its nothing for me to be 5 pounds heavier

Nice!!

I do mine in October 3rd then October 4 going to pcp for final weigh in (surgeon is out of town and my appointment with him isn't until October 23)and they are going to put a rush on it in case my husband gets laid off. So hopefully by that Monday the 8th it will be sent to get approval

Yes anume stay strong. I wish I had ideas to help keep your mind off things. And its awful you have to do such a long pre diet. My doc only requires one week prior

It doesn't but it does help keep your mind busy and its always good to ne prepared and organized

Hmm well I haven't tried it but my grandma used it a lot instead of noodles in spaghetti. Spaghetti squash. I guess the insides are like spaghetti noodles.

I have never been a soda drinker thank goodness but coffee oh boy. I have been trying but it is one thing that helps curb my appetite and I can't afford to gain any right now. I have been drinking half regular and then I will fix a pot of decaf so I am trying

Nice job!!!

You lost 12 or gained 12? Good luck on approval. Hope it is quick for you!!

Your not losing anything!! You will be gaining self confidence, energy, a longer healthier life!! And you will still later in have that stuff but only in moderation. And I bet once you see the new you, you will not want to go back!!

Be strong. It will ne over before you know it!! Find something that will keep you motivated with the eye on the prize. Like look at outfits and focus!! You can do this!!

Wtg all. You all are my inspiration and motivation!!!

Added you. Its always nice to have others for motivation. The more the merrier

Nice job!! I go October 3rd for my psych evaluation I feel like I will be crazy by then lol

I am hoping for surgery in October not sure yet. So my name shouldn't be in the list just yet. I am still just a cheerleader LOL

Try using plain old saline nasal spray 3-4 times a day. This always helped me get rid of colds faster

My surgeon says 90-100g after surgery. I have read other people's stalls and it usually helped them upping the protein and exercise

Thanks everyone for the prayers and support I sure need them.

Well I have about one month to go for the 6 month supervised weight loss requirement and today it was announced that 1200 men are being laid off and 8 mines closed 4 of them here in West Virginia where my husband works. WHICH WILL MEAN NO INSURANCE!!! I am so scared and stressed out too come this far and so close

Congrats Kerri!! I actually went today to get me a month supply of.vitamins ams a few weeks of soup. Oh and 2 boxes of Gas X. Hope that's enough LOL. If anyone has Kroger's their vitamins are bogo right now good time to stalk up since we will be taking these for the rest of our lives

So I went today and got my after surgery vitamins. The Flintstones biotin calcium citrate gas x strips a couple more tubs of protein powder a bunch of cream of soups and broths

So you are limited to just one cup of those a day? Or at a meal 1 cup?
