a WOW moment ...but in a bad way.

Saturday i had a party for my son and i just started to download the pics today. I openend a picture and my mouth dropped. I was like daam im that big. I didnt look like myself all of a sudden my cloths started to feel to tight, shortness of breath and i just felt very uncomfortable. At first i was feeling good because i just went to my last appointment before my surgery and i had lost 6 lbs. I must admit when i saw that pic it f#*ked me up... I called a couple of people who i know had the bypass so i could pic their brains. Both said they experienced the same thing. They had excepted their size for so long that it didnt bother them. Whn they decided to change and do something about their weight they were no longer comfortable with the way that they look and kind of went through the same thing i did. Did any of you go through this? I was told i would go through this once i start losing weight but i didnt think it would happen before.

yup, i been there.

for a little over 4 years, i worked two full time jobs. i at the end of that time period, i looked in the mirror one day and saw a stranger looking back at me.....a fat stranger.

then i spent another four years doing everything except take care of myself and then i looked in the mirror again.....and saw an even fatter stanger looking back at me.

You wait until you're like 6 months out and then look back doing a "Before" and "After" pic.  You'll really be saying Wow! but definitely in a good way.


Hang in there, Bruh!

thanks man i got a couple more weeks and i cant wait.

*Hijack*

Heeeeeeeeyyyy Boo!!!

Wassup, HomeSlice!  How's everythang?

Everything is everything man..Walking around like I got a master plan with the the inhaler in my hand.....I think Im allergic to my office

 Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!  You don't know...  The office/workplace is the number one cause for so much stress in people's lives until I wouldn't doubt it at all.  

Still doing the pre-OP walking thing?  If you are GREAT!  If you aren't Get On It!  

it's crazy......the other day i was walking in a store and a guy said whats up big man...now usually i would just say whats up and keep it pushing but this time i tripped out on him and told him hell nawl i dont have any change...lol. I guess i am getting a little sensative about my weight. I dont even like my neices touching my stomach or anything like that. before it did not bother me.

Awwww BS!!!!


I can so relate to you because that is how I feel now, every since I've decided to make this journey I've felt bigger, not as cute(Yea I think im fine as wine), and seem to have gotten sicker.

Sometimes I don't know if it's all in my head or what but it's not going to stop me!!

I wish US both success!!!!
