Thank you. Yes, my son is wonderful . He always tries to take care of his mommy. I thank God for him and for each of you that have kept me in your thoughts. I am truly grateful .

Thank you. I have been in deep prayer and know that God is in control. I have made it to Plano and at the hospital. Keep me in your prayers. God has sent so many awesome people my way thru this forum and I am so grateful for each of you,

Good to hear from you. Hope you feel better soon. I'm on the way to Texas now and will be sleeved in the morning at 930 am

I agree... I will keep you in my prayers for Thursday and I need you to keep me in yours for tomorrow.

Aww @ JupiterinVirgo.... that really touched me and it made me feel like you were a good friend that really cares about my well being. I really feel what you said is true because he keeps saying I wanna get attention so he's gonna start getting himself together too. I'm like you weigh 170 at 6'4 so you don't need to lose weight. I am not gonna let him discourage me from this blessing to get my health in order. I'm prepping today and packing. My 20 year old son ushering with me so I'm won't be alone and that's all the love I need there with me, my baby. Thank you so much though I really appreciate words of advice

Omg so funny!!! I have heard that so much lately from hubby... u r gonna lose your butt trying to be skinny like a white girl... I just laugh and smh!!! There are thin black females also world with no butt, I just so happen not to be one of them but they do exist , lol.

Thru thick and thin , lol .. I'm hoping this is the thin part , lol. But seriously thank you so much . I appreciate the sentiment. My surgery is 9:30 am and as soon as I'm coherent, I promise to post ... it's almost here!!! Yayyy the journey to becoming the new Diana. ... To God be the Glory.

I think a lot of it has to do with insecurity and fear as well. I have talked to him and reassured him all that I can. We ave been together since high school and that is 21 years. So, this is typical behavior for him when he doesn't want me to do something. But I don't care at this point. Not about him anymore and unhealthy , overweight Diana . It's about Diana regaining control of her life starting with her weight issues so that she can live a healthier longer life( I sound weird talking about myself in third person, I'm not narcissistic,lol)

That's sad that he dropped her off. But I'm glad he came on board later. Hoping for good results as well with my hubby. I'm just not gonna press the issue with him anymore about it. It's my body and I am taking control of it.

@ Wison06 thank you and I truly believe and receive that. Maybe God is trying to reveal something to me . Just hard to go they this but I'm gonna be ok . Focusing my positive energy on Monday due to I'm leaving this evening.

Great suggestion

I'm a lil anxious too but look forward to saying I'm free of this bondage that being overweight has held me in for the past 15 years. It's time to be me again.

@ Queen BX my neighbor had my package and she brought it to me due to it was delivered to her home. So now I'm on chill, lol.

You kicking butt southern mom... I have surgery Monday and I won't be mad at all if I'm down 25 lbs 2 weeks post op, lol

I am really seeing how this group is beneficial for so many reasons and I hope to make some life long friends on here due to I don't really have any one to discuss these matters with. Thank you for your encouragement.

That's how I feel exactly. I'm just praying that he will turn around afterwards when he can see that I will still be me n love him the same. But if he doesn't see it or continues to be a butt, I will have no other choice except to walk alone. Well said, lol, very well said.

Thank you Dr. Patient. I didn't go through with this 4 years ago because I felt Donbas about what he was saying but not this time baby. Love it or leave it... But I'm headed to Texas.

Evidently not due to he is content with me having a BMI of 39.4.... I'm 38 and want to be as healthy as possible turning 40 due to all the changes that come at that point.. I'm pressing forward with prayer and support of my buddies here at Bariatric Pals. Thank you all really ... I am really feeling a lot better with talking or typing to you guys, lol

We will see how it goes. Thanks

Preach Babbs, lol. I am so excited to see what I will be in 6 months. I wanna get my labs back n cholesterol is down, no longer prediabetic, no more Coap, or heart palpitation mess. God is good and he will see me thru this.
