Recommended Posts

Hi guys... Dont get me wrong I love being referred to as Flabuless cause hey...I am! but its always nice to be addressed to as my first name Becky...so I thought I would start this thread so that...those of us who haven't revealed our first names yet can...and also so that we can hear some of the meanings behind our unique user id's that we have chosen.

I'll start us off

First name: Becky

user id?: well mine I think is obviously cause I'm fabulously flab-u-less!

So come on guys...lets reveal the secret behind our names.

Hi Becky,

My name is Julie and I attend TWU (Texas Woman's University). Jules is of course a nickname.

BTW, I think Flabuless is a cute name.

Hi Becky,

I am Susan.

My online ID is supergenius because I like Wile E. Coyote and he refers to himself as not just a mere genius, but a supergenius. That cracks me up. Plus every time I get a big head it seems I get run over by an ACME rocket sled, just like Wile. And 8.18 is my birthday.

      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.
