i am finding this journey a lonely and emotional one. im a single mom with a less than helpful Baby daddy. i did this for myself and my son, but honestly could use a pep talk every now and then. i want to be there for other people in the long run.

I would so love to be able to connect with you all. This gives me hope!! Sometimes we girlies just need other like minded "sisters" to help motivate and keep up on track and keep pushing forward. Thanks so much!

I keep a blog on my weight loss journey ... http://justicesmom.blogspot.com/p/diary-of-fatty-my-journey.html

Please feel free to read and comment. I would also love if yall would message me and join me on Facebook or we can share email addresses privately so that we can keep in touch more often.

As far as the ladies that are in Houston, I really want to get together on a weekend or what not.. maybe at Memorial Park or something. I am doing the walk for Autism and also doing the walk for Diabetes. It would be awesome to see you come and walk with me for that!

Let me know if yall want to get together! Power in numbers!

Thanks prettygirlswag......how is your lap band experience going?

Hey Misha,

All is well, I didn't have to do the Pre-op diet, just liquids the day before... The day of surgery I was 260, as of last Tuesday I was down 8lbs, and today another 4... So that's 12lbs since Sept 20!! I'm excited, I get my first fill on the 15th, I have the 14cc AP Band

I started soft foods Saturday

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
