Thanks for the sites simplejac girl. ANY websites, I have just begun talking with a coordinator for a self pay surgery in MX. Any sites on the surgery, questions to ask, what to expect, how to prepare, life afterwards etc would be great

I have a bit of an odd one. It's called mybodygallery.com.

You can put it your height and a weight (the weight you want to be) and body type and it shows you pictures of people that meet that criteria. I have no idea how I will look at certain weights since it has been so long since I have been there. Anyway, it is kind of a fun thing to look at.

I'm really enjoying a blog by one of the VST members. It's by queenofcrop.

This isn't a site, but a booklet, but I like it: http://www.muhealth.org/documents/bariatric/Bariatric%20Booklet%20VSG.pdf

OP, what are some of the best you've come across?

How could I forget? This one is a website and it is great at explaining why we have stalls (and what to do): http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

Icon23, one website I really like is http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/carmelita/blog/2011/03/31/-2/

I like it because it contains some statistics and explains the bougie (which prior to that website I hadn't even thought about)

OMG this is so cool. I think I am much smaller looking than I thought. What an ego booster!!

I looked at others around my same weight, and they don't look as fat as I do... Lol or as fat as I perceive myself to be... This has to be a conspiracy!!! Who is behind this website!!! Lol

[funinthesun00 157]

Funny. I think I have a reverse body image problem. I put in my height and weight and think "oh my gosh, am I really that fat?" Lol!

Perception is reality but not necessarily the truth... We tend to be really hard on ourselves. Btw, I think I found away to go!
