MAJIQUE

I'm May 19...

BRAVO. I hope I can lose that much

I had lots of dates in college and I did get married too. The divorce was my choice and not weight related. I lost interest in men for a while and it seemed by the time I was interested again I was fat and no one was interested in me. I was 300lbs and invisible. Imagine. Now a lot of years have passed and I know I can do fine alone. I cannot WAIT to tell someone "if you didn't WANT the butter bean, you can't HAVE the string bean".

What state are you in Dream girl? To you have a date yet?

That is what worries me. I like water and I drink it fast. I also take all my pills at once with lots if water. I'm afraid of that.

I am set for surgery in May and I wondered if chewing gum will help curb sweet craving? Also what do you do when you get real thirsty? You can't drink much water at once. That worries me

I am really new here and just starting the surgery journey. Could use an experienced mentor and a friend at about the same point. I need to lose 100+ pounds but would be happy to have a healthy pain free body again. Have no in house support or accountability as I live by myself, not lonely, just alone and would like to share.

No I actually never thought about measurements. I planned to do pictures. I have my pre- op appointment on the 14th. I bet they will take some pics for me. I will keep ONE old outfit. I have 10 sizes of clothes still in my closet. How crazy is that.

Congrats Zelda. My day is May 19th. I have only told my mom and two other people. I know my mom is scared but she'll be there for me. What day are you planning?

Wow. Your daughter is blessed. Luckily, so am I. I told my mom I was approved. She is a retired hospital dietition and I knew she would not be thrilled. Over the years she mentioned my weight and watching my food but in love, not guilt or meanness. She wanted to know if I was sure and if I knew what all it would take. I know she is worried but like always, I know she will be there. I love her so. I'm 40+ and we only have each other. I guess I'm blessed too.

I'd like some local support

I just got approved and set a May 19th date. I'd love some local support. Anybody out there close to Nashville?

I have had those back and forth thoughts since I got approved last week. Eating is entertaining and how I spend time with friends. I Also really like pastries

I have been off the smokes for about a month and I'm scheduled for 3 weeks out. I did read it slows healing and I want to be well so I hope I don't slip while on liquids

I'm happy for the May folks
