I'm Kathryn, originally from Chicago but live in Dallas, divorced (really never married, long story), 2 boys. I don't have time to think about what I enjoy or like to do because between work and raising my boys and taking care of my home, those are my hobbies :) Glad you are here and welcome. We are here when you need us. I am on here daily so always available. I will be sleeved March 8th!

You seem to have an awesome personality Mercedes!

My name is Tanessa but everyone just calls me Nessa. I'm from West Covina, CA but I now live in Torrance, CA. I'm 30, no kids yet. Had a miscarriage last year :( I'm the second oldest out of 8 brothers and sisters. But my family isn't that close. Depending on my mood, I can be a homebody, cooking, crocheting, watching movies, reading or I can be a bar hopping, club going party girl. I like trying different things and I'm a night owl.

I work in accounting but I'd love to be a nurse. I just feel like I waited a bit to long to start now. I dream of traveling the world because I love experiencing new cultures. If I could live in a new country every year I would die a very happy woman.

My Facebook name is tanessa.morris, I don't mind any adds

I'm 29 from New York City. My name Nycky. I am a single mom with an 8 year old daughter. I have two dogs. I am the youngest of three and the only girl. My family migrated from the Philippines when I was an infant and I spent most of my life in NYC. My parents and two older brothers each bought the houses next door to me, so I have so much family support. I spend most of my free time invested in my daughter's school, church, and extracurricular life. I'm a Girl Scouts leader, assistant track coach, and coordinator of various church activities. After investing many years in healthcare services, I decided to work closer to home to be with my daughter and now work in a church and a security firm and dabble in video production.

I'm a 38yo Samoan female, married 19yrs with 3 beautiful daughters (profile pic) ages 17, 15, and 12, lived in California all my life. I'm a stay at home mom who is very active in my kids lives, 2 of my daughters play volleyball and basketball, other daughter is less athletic, but very artistic...completely the opposite of her sisters.

My favorite thing right now is working out! I'm pre-op trying very hard to get myself prepped and ready for the aftermath (waiting patiently for a surgery date lol that's where the working out part comes in handy to get my mind off of the presurgery process). I love being with my husband and kids...just got back from a roadtrip visiting family in the bay area. We're a very active family despite my wt...which I know will be off the hook once 100lbs or so will eventually come off in the near future with the help of this surgery.

My name is Tom. I live in Magnolia, Texas and I grew up in Conroe, Texas my whole life. I'm 29 yrs old... turning 30 March 1st. I am married and we have a 5 yr old boy. He's in my signature picture.

I love to play internet games like League of Legends. I enjoy TV shows like Elementary, Lost Girl, Stargate series (off air now), I tend to hate reality shows but Wipeout is just to funny to not watch. I have recently picked up downloading music to my phone because it really helps me to get pumped for workouts.

Does anyone else think a VST convention would be really cool? I have a coworker who has become a close friend of mine. Him and his wife both had the same surgery I did. It's been invaluable comparing our experiences and it's great to hang out with other people whose life doesn't revolve around dinner out.

Thank you sugar pie. Is my pleasure meeting you. We have a lot in comment. I love travelling too. Hey remember never is too late to do what you love. Go for it. I'm going to be 28 and still want to go to school. When I was in school i had classmates who could've been my grandparents. They necer gave up. The only option we have to give up is when we are dead. always remember this is god purpose not our purpose. You going to have your beautiful baby when is the right time but remember not your time my time is God's time ok baby girl stay strong and focuse on your life time goals. I don't have. I love kid but some of us are here to give birth and some to take care of others. And to me is not a big issues I'm open to adopt.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
