Okay so I just need to get something out here. It's been on my mind the last few weeks.
As the time grows near and the days go by and I get closer and closer to the end of my 6 months, I keep on thinking that I have one fear. I have a fear that I am not going to be the same after this surgery. I have been heavy for so long that I have been almost used to being this way.almost comfortable. as crazy as that is. I know I am making the right choice. I am so looking forward to doing new things. Has anyone else felt this way? I know this is crazy thoughts.

Thanks for the feedback

I'm 1 month and 2 days post op and still have that feeling for some reason.  I can't say I was comfortable with myself before but resigned maybe.  I'm loosing weight but I still have this fear that it will stop and I'll still be fat after going through all this.  My dr assured me yesterday that if I eat healthy and exercise the rest takes care of itself.  Today was my first day exercising and I was surprised to see that even after lunch my weight was down still.  I weigh myself way to often  LOL.  I think I feel this way because most people tell us things like you could loose if you tried or that we are taking the easy way out.  Well it isn't as easy as it looks and I am learning every day that I can do this, I will not fail, I refuse to fail

Sometimes we just get to complacent with things.  Now I'm obsessed with good heath and being thi

Jana,

What you are feeling is normal.  We have been programed for so long the same way that it is difficult to see us change.  But it will change for you. You will give it your all to make this life altering change for the sake of your health. 

I made sure to take monthly pictures to see the difference because the brain sometimes takes a long time to catch up with your body.  I measured my body and took monthly measurements. The scale, measurements and pictures did not lie!  

Trust me when you finally see the difference you will be jumping for joy.  Please take the time to read through my profile and see the pics that are posted in my albums and throughout my blogging.  

Take care, 

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.
