my Secret place.....



Recommended Posts

My husband knows I get on here and is glad I have the support. I don't go to a local support group but am so glad I have this site. I can get on when I cannot sleep or when I'm having a hard time. This is my place to be sad, happy, and vent. Always nice to know there are others in the same place I am.

I am an open book lol EVERYONE that is in my life knows I am on this journey, it helps to keep me motivated by knowing I am inspiring others. As far as the site goes, I use it for general info, to give my two cents needed or not, and to be part of a community of those like me.

I also have told everyone about getting banded and am proud to say that I have a couple other of my friends ready to take the journey also. I have told one about this site, but the other is not into computers so I didn't tell him. I know my mother and son know about the site since they have seen me on it, but they would never read what I post unless I showed it to them. I also keep my friends on Facebook updated and that is how most of my family learns about what is happening with my band.

It's no secret but not many know that I jump on this site from time to time. I have a FB weight loss Page that I created for me and my closets friends but I don't openly share about my band. On here I'm able to talk a lil more freely because everyone or should I say most here can relate. I just don't want to be overweight again so whatever it takes.

Hubby knows about this site, I too share some of my fav's with him. He is super glad I have this forum for support and has ZERO interest in coming on here.

Hubby did complain once... when I forgot to record the 1st LSU game of this season. ..... I know, horrible horrible mistake!!!! When he asked what distracted me, I was honest & said "was online reading what my peeps had to say on the LB forum"... lol

...... G. E. A. U. X. Tigers!!!!!!!

Omg YESSS! Facebook was my outlet then I had family members and friends to friend request and was upset when I would accept. So I did and my posts became more comical than personal. I love this place. It's my secret circle. I can be honest and opened without judgment. Of course we get lectured but it's the good stuff

      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.
