Rich for this poll is being able to buy and pay for anything you want for the rest of your life.

Poor is to have basically nothing but enough to eat and a place to live.

Funny! Well, if I were rich I could afford a personal trainer, a personal chef, and all the cosmetic surgery I wanted. So realistically I could become skinny in just a matter of time. However, if I were skinny but poor, a handsome prince could find me and sweep me away to his magical kingdom. Thus, I would in turn be rich.

However, if we are not living in fairy tale land and we are talking absolute reality then...skinny and poor, no question. I've got the poor thing down, just working on the skinny thing. LOL!!! :thumbup:

If we changed the word skinny to healthy, I'd choose healthy and poor without a doubt.

But like everyone said, if I was rich - I could afford to get skinny!:thumbup:

Haha like Bea, I've got the poor part down, just got to get the skinny. So my answer is definitely skinny and poor. Money doesn't buy happiness!

Yeah, but look at Oprah! I hear that she has a nickel or two squirreled away, and she doesn't seem to be able to buy her way out of the "fat zone"!:thumbdown:

I'll pick healthy and poor.

I remember seeing a show about lottery winners once. They all had one thing in common after winning huge lotteries - they all got fat!

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

Egads, that's a hard one. I went with rich and fat because like people said, I could afford to take care of myself. Besides, other than the weight itself, some very mikld sleep apnea, and some occasional back spasms, I don't suffer from any other health problems at the moment and yesterday was the first time I weighed in not morbidly obese since college.

Although, I think it's easier for me to imagine being rich than skinny. If I ever knew what skinny felt like, I might decide differently.

Ok, if you pick rich and fat, you don't get to have any surgery....you have to know that you will stay fat....

Oppps, that changes things? Maybe?

      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.
