    I want to be a woman again.

    Thank you for writing what I'm feeling. I feel so ugly and unworthy. Just awful.
  2. Still feeling hopeless and like such a failure. I wish I could have the sleeve surgery before my wedding in December because I feel so ugly.

      I agree with Pink Dahlia. Get a good start now. If you feel healthier physically, you will feel better emotionally. Also, apparently your fella doesn't see you like you see yourself. Above all of the other women on the earth, He wants you so much that he is willing to marry you and take you off the market. Trust his judgement. You are beautiful in his eyes. Have a joyful wedding. Good luck, dear lady.

      You ladies are so kind. Yes, my hubby to be loves me for me - I'm lucky for it. He's my soul mate. I think I will take all your feedback and work on getting healthier now, and then I'll be better for my wedding and more prepared for the surgery. Thank you so much for reaching out to me!!!

      When I got married to my husband I was obese and was our entire married life until I decided to have surgery last year. Before surgery over a 7 year period I lost 68 lbs without putting much effort into and knew if I didn't start myself on this journey in May of 2013 I would never get healthy without surgery. So from May to September surgery I lost 40 lbs. I watched what I ate and exercised. I am now 190 lbs lighter and my husband is thrilled because I'm healthy for the first time in our marriage. Your hubby to be loves you for you and all of you. He's probably your best friend and that's the greatest thing of all to marry your friend because it lasts much longer and is more intense of a love. Be happy and enjoy all the precious moments you have together. Take care.

    And So Our Journey Begins...

    @@MistyAnnMoon829 thanks for blogging! I'm thinking about getting the sleeve done and reading everyone's experiences really helps!
  7. Went to the farmers' market today and got a huge pile of fresh veggies! Time to start thinking healthy before getting the sleeve done!

      Hi Miss Mac! I just moved to this province and discovered a wonderful farmers' market practically outside my door! I am going to enact some better eating habits, cooking habits, before I get the sleeve so I can be more successful later. Thanks for taking the time to respond today!

      I recommend finding a good Indian cookbook. Awesome tastes!

  8. @@LadyPullings - me too my friend! I just started researching, but I know this is the path I want to take. All the best!
  9. @@jena530 Thank you for sharing your story. I have started researching and joined this site today - and I'm feeling like a sponge absorbing everyone's posts and my mind is reeling with information. All the best. I wish you a peaceful weight loss journey.
  10. Just started researching - mind boggled! So much to think about!

  11. Thank you so much Jamie - what you write makes a lot of sense. I appreciate you taking the time to help clear my mind from all this dizzying information!
  12. Hello new friends! I have just started researching gastric sleeve self pay procedures in Mexico and my mind is spinning! I am from Canada, and I feel confused by the different doctors/clinics and I'm nervous regarding making a bad choice, costs, and just "how to's". Could any other Canadians share their experiences (or anyone else! All feedback welcome and appreciated!) I know this is the way for me to go, but I don't want to make any wrong choices! Thanks so much! Pers in Quebec
  13. Thank you for replying! I appreciate you taking the time!
