When you make your husband order the Desserts you want so you can live vicariously through him. Or when you make your husband order the meals you want because it doesn't make sense to order your own because you'll only eat a few bites

A few years ago ( actually many years) I use to buy junk food a lot I had a goodie drawer for my kids. If I didn't have that goodie drawer I would have A panic attack!! When they were eating I would ask them, IS IT GOOD? IS IT SWEET, IS IT CREAMY? This went on with everything they ate. I always dipped their plates and as we set down for dinner every night if they ask for seconds I would throw the potatoes on their plate. I was always taking a bite of their sandwich. BAD habits. Don't do it anymore but food is very important to me even tho I can't eat it. Part of my disorder I'm sure. When I grew up we did without many many times so I am totally obsessed with food. LOL I would love to order one dish and share it with my hubby now. I mean darn you buy a salad and we eat what we want and the rest goes to waste. He bought himself Tofu kung pow veggies and ate one that 1 order for 3 meals. LOL Such fun now that we can share. LOL So I guess "you know you might be a WLS peeps if you can share and still make 2 or more meals. It seems like today is my on and on day. Sorry

When you can relate to this you-tube so much, but are concerned that others won't see the humor ...

I legit have my own version like this that I sang to my students before I left for surgery. They knew I was on liquids, and I joked about them being good, or I might eat one of them. This makes me laugh!

So are you saying that you are a hot teacher???
Not saying I'm hot, lol, but saying I'm a teacher who is super silly with her kids--totally

I was a school bus driver for awhile and I can tell you that teachers who are silly and enjoy their students are always attractive and it has nothing to do with physical attributes. I've met many beautiful, ugly people and I've met even more who are homely but extremely beautiful.

Well, thank you. I do love my kiddos, that's for sure. I think if you build a relationship with them, they are more willing to give you all they've got. I teach 2 consecutive grades at a very small, rural impoverished school. Those kids are MY kids, especially after 2 years. If we couldn't cut up and have fun, I'd be miserable. If that makes me attractive, I'll take it. ????

Getting your favorite jeans for Christmas. Telling people a size too small so they fit when you actually get them. Then frowning when they fit because you realize in a month they won't anymore

When you butt is boney and your feet are cold!

Absolutely this. Yesterday it was 64 degrees. I had on a sweater, a scarf and a wool coat. Someone asked if I was sick. Nope. Just a WLS patient.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
