Uhg .. I dont think,I have ever taken a good picture. Even if I feel really good, I look in the mirror, or someone, usually my mom who is always taking pictures takes one of me and I'm brought back to reality... Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

Isn't it amazing how the Drs office tries to schedule appointments together? I have 2 appointments tomorrow, the cardiologist and meeting the Dr... Wish me luck! Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

Sex drive?? What's that?? I haven't had one in a really long time because I can't even stand to see myself. I pray mine comes back once I start loosing! I'm sure my husband would really like that too!!

I can totally see it. I am just beginning on this journey and I already feel like my husband is not 100% behind me. He's made the comment a couple times that he thinks I'm gonna loose weight and leave him Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

Me too.. I have a tote of clothes from forever ago and some that my teenage daughter has grown out of that I like and and hoping to be able to actually use. Can't wait for transformation!! Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

That is horrible. Not losing or reaching a goal makes you feel bad enough in the first place, and then add a pig nose on top? I don't see that being any help at all. All that does is shame you and make your mental mindset worse. I would have never went back either. Shame on them. Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

My main goal is to be healthy, for my body to not hurt and to be able to keep up with my kids! I would love to actually be considered *slim* as thus is something I have NEVER, EVER, EVER been, I'm also praying that my husband and my 14 year old daughter will loose some weight with me. I worry over my daughter the most. She is 14 and only about 40 lbs smaller than me. I really hope that me getting healthy will encourage her to do the same[emoji173] Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I am shooting for the sleeve. I'm a mom of 4 and work full time, so a lot of that choice was based on down time. At my consult appointment they said since my job is more seditary I should only be down about a week, then light duty(no lifting) that is awesome that you are taking this step to a better you! I have also been big all my life, and thus past year it feels like my weight has gotten away from me and I can keep up with my kids. They are 16, 14, and two 5 year olds. I need to get healthy so I can be here for all of them. I'm with you!! Most definitely in it to win it!! Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am smiling ear to ear reading all of your slim,down stories!! I can NOT WAIT until I get to share mine! So happy for you all!! Sent from my VS988 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello! I am just beginning. I had my consult Jan 17th and my insurance only requires a 90 day waiting period with several other "clearance" appointments. I am also hoping for a spring surgery date, hopefully the beginning of May if all goes well. Fingers crossed! I have several appointments scheduled and go next week for my first dietician appointment. I can't say enough about how excited I am to get this new life started!
