I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm trying to work on fixing all my bad habits in the 6 month countdown. Yoga is a big one. I really miss it. I think I just need to take a second and focus when these things happen. Its like I forget I have other options.

I realized yesterday, I had not spent that much time outside in a LONG time. So sad!

I just scheduled my dietitian appts for the next 6 months. I need to loose 18 lbs before surgery but I know I can do it. This community, youtube videos etc have helped so much. I just gotta take the steps and get things down one thing at a time. I'm emotional because I never thought I'd be able to do this, to get the surgery and start this process. I guess all I want to say is I'm grateful for all of you. For coming here, sharing your stories and being so open and compassionate. I feel stronger because of it. There's going to be good and bad days, but it all will pass and get easier with time. Big love to all of you. 💛

Feeling Disappointed to myself
Morachia replied to RoxyFoxy83's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Is there any way you can reach out to your dietitian or surgeon for some support? I'm sorry you are going through this. This is a lifelong process. There's going to be good days and bad days. You just gotta keep moving forward. Hopefully when you finish your move things will even out for you. -
What was/is your greatest fear?
Morachia replied to Smitty74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You aren't alone. I'm so used to how I look now, I'm worried I won't like what I see. Especially with loose skin and possible hair loss. But, at the end of the day, my desire to add years to my life outweighs my concern in that way. It's not shallow imo. How we look changes the way a lot of the world reacts to us, which feeds our own insecurities or appreciations. I'm actually nervous about how people may treat me differently. I've heard sometimes there can be jealousy, or previous friendships fall apart because you are no longer their "fat friend". Which, I guess in hindsight, is better to know then to not know. I'm sure I'll still be the same dorky me, but lighter. Hopefully most of my friends and family will be supportive. I'm excited for you and your journey. I'm right there with you.
