I have been going through so many changes with my weight the up and down scale. You try everything but it may work just for a little while, you see yourself as a be big fat person with no will power. I hate people when they say you just need to cut back or why don't you do something about it. People talk but they don't know my story. Sometimes it best to just walk away and pray because people can cut through you and mostly it's your family. Prayer works because I am going for surgery on December 9th. Please pray for me.

@@angewil60 what you say about family is sooooooooooooo true. A lot of people want to criticize but don't want to be advocates when it comes to a solution.

Walking away and praying is really the best you can do. Especially at family gatherings when things can quickly escalate to nuclear levels

Today was hard , thank God I have people like you that really understand all your mind goes through. My family all they see is weight loss and the fact you will weigh less then they, they do not see all what could happen and all the things that you will and are facing. You see my diabetes can be control no more c-pap and many other issues that weight is related to. People don't see that they just think that it's all about just being small. My family some have Han some type of surgery but most have put the weight back on and others just think you are going to lose or look better than they do. I am blessed to have my husband and my children to support me but most of all I have Gods protection all around me. I am very blessed and I am praying for all of us as we go through each day. That we learn to look at our e and learn how to LOVE yourself and your body. Keep you in all my prayers.

      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.
