Ok, well that was a little deceptive, but hey - you're reading right?

Anybody who's had this surgery knows that the funds are gonna be a little low for a few months. So, I'm willing to pay you in good karma and good friendship! Alright, in all seriousness, I would like to find someone that would be willing to take me under their wing. A little about me:

I'm 40. Mom of 2. Step mom of 2. Grandmother to 1. Step grandmother to 5. Married to the love of my life that's 14 years older than me. We've been married just shy of 4 years. I'm a working professional. I live in the south - Georgia. I love to travel, love to cook, love to read. I've been heavy most of my life, and my surgery date is Dec. 18th. My husband is fit and athletic, and 100% supportive. He loves me fat and will love me thin. My whole family and best friends are in total support of my decision.

I'd like to find someone with at least some common interests that is realistic, encouraging and not afraid to tell me the truth, and not necessarily what I want to hear. If you think we'd be a good match, send me a message or a reply.

Wow... I feel like I'm back on a dating site... Hope to hear from someone soon :)

Opposites attract right?

I'm 23 and have no children but an amazing boyfriend of 5 and 1/2 years(ring any day now ;-) ) I live in south jersey I'm sleeved October 30. My boyfriend and I share a love of food and I'm afraid our relationship is based on us sitting/laying around watching movies and eating junk. He's super supportive in everything I do so this is no different. only a few people know all are supportive except one but I told her to pipe down and pretend to support me (haha)

Hope I'm a match! Hehe

Sharon, are you comparing yourself to others? Because I've found in every walk of life, that's never healthy. What are your stats after 5 weeks?

I'd say 38 lbs is pretty freaking awesome. To follow this thread, go to the top of the page and click "Follow This"

38 pounds in 5 weeks is amazing. I'm at less than that at 7 weeks and I'm ecstatic with my progress thus far. :)

      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.
