MY MIND IS TRIPPIN!!

Wow....breathe slowly and calm down....LOL

Quit comparing yourself to others' journey.  EVERYONE is different. 
Ask yourself, how easy will it be to loose JUST 100 lbs? 
You are in control of your journey.  While it is normal to have second thoughts, this is stuff you should be discussing with your surgeon.

I really hope no one on BAF thinks they have an answer for you.  Seriously, pray on this and He will guide you.

My best to you!

Hello I have surgery a day after you.Im a size 22 24 and if only I can speed up the time.Im 314lbs.Im so ready to have my surgery.I cant wait.No one knows how they are going to look.My three friends that had it  dont look old.If you feel that you've gotten too small just gain a little back.I hope that everything works out for you...The people that had surgery probaly can help you more than me.I dont have any worries about this..

Girl i know i say the same thing about speeding up the days! but like i told Cheryl when i read someones profile and seen they were in a 22 or 26 and they were now in a size 0-3 and STILL wanted to lose 40 more pounds????.......i couldnt sleep! but i am overly EXCITED AND TRULY CANNOT WAIT!

Okay girlfriend, our surgery is coming up soon. I have been saying a lot of the same things as you have. I am also a size 22, my husband doesn't want me to do this, and it is major rerouting of my plumbing.
But then I do take a deep breath...My body hurts when I work, play, and exercise. I do not have the energy to work, play or exercise. I have not been below 200 pounds in 26 years.
I want to be thinner, healthier, and have some energy!! I know I cannot do this on my own. I need this surgery to help me help myself.
So I am going on this fantastic journey that is going to change my life for the better!!
I hope you do join me when I get to the loser's bench, because that's where you intended to be when you started all of this.
Best of luck and peace of mind in your decision!
Cheryl

Cheryl I know! but my mind started trippin when i seen someones pictures and profile who was a size 22 or 26 and now they are a size 0-3 and still talking about they want to lose 40 more pounds!!.....that blew my wig!....i thought, oh my!

Congratulations on your date. As others have said, each persons journey is different. If losing the 100 lbs was easy, you would have done it a long time ago. This is a tool and you have to use it for you. Don't focus on others. Know where you want to be and go from there. Good luck on your journey and we are here for you.

"Then i read peoples profiles and it seems as though a LOT are pretty OBSESSED with the weight and are saying they need to lose more, when it CLEARLY doesnt look like they do"

My man would love you for that statement!!!

All the best to you.

Girl...........get ahold of yourself! It's going to be ok!  This WLS thang is the best ever! I wouldn't change it for nothing in the world!  Holla at us six months from now and let us know that this was the best thing you could have ever done for yourself.  Good luck!

LOL!!.......THANX SHEILA, I WILL!

Thanks to all who have replied thus far!

I am definitely happy with the decision i have made to have this done, but i am sure some if not ALL have had some of these same questions floating around in there mind at some point.  I cannot WAIT to start this journey!
