I wish my parents were still alive to see this (and for many other reasons, of course)... my Mom would be SO happy at my current state of being...

Other than that...I'm good... my hubby loved me when I was at my highest (actually about the time we met) and loves me now...I can almost fit into his clothes now....

I keep telling him "what's mine, is mine; what's yours, is mine" ... now I'll be into his clothes.... (hello, boyfriend jacket)

I look forward to the day when I can impress someone with my weight loss. Where I live now I have no friends or family other than my hubby and son. I don't work because I am a caregiver to my husband who is a cancer patient.

Soon we will be moving back home where I will have my sisters and friends and I cannot wait. I have not gone anywhere other than hospitals and doctors appointments in 2 years. GAH!?!?!?

Sorry to hear about your husband, Magtart; but glad you took time for YOU! I know the feeling, my hubby and I live in Savannah and most of my family is in Chicago... I miss them... I saw one sister a few months back and she almost didn't recognize me... except that I am beginning to look more and more like my Mom every day!!! LOL...(she was thin-er)

My parents would be so happy to see me loosing weight they both worried about me , I have some cousins who have been hurtful over the years can't wait until the 2weekend in june for our family reunion. I went to see my Nuerologist for the first time this year and he didn't reconize me made me feel good.

My rheumatologist, who I have been seeing for 10 years walked straight past me, no flicker of recognition, lol.

Someone I worked with for 7 years but hadn't seen for 7 years looked blankly at me until I spoke.

My mother in law didn't recognise me until I stood in front of her in a store when I went to collect her.

I didn't tell many people in advance so didn't have to put up with negative comments. It's only happened a couple of times recently with a couple of friends telling me I shouldn't lose any more weight. Best reason for their "concern"? I might look too old. Lol!!!!!!! You couldn't make it up...

I want my kids and my family to see the weight going.... They're really a big encouragement.. The most negative was a guy that I'd been dating for about a year... But this isn't about or for him... So I let go and did what was best for me. And I'm LOVING IT

Good for you , no man is worth you feeling bad about your self. My husband fell in love with me when I was fat after two babys I gained and lost about sixty six lbs. He has been very supportive thru all this new way I have to eat, and he's loving the thinner me wants me to sit on his lap all the time now lol.

      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.
