Topic: RE: No supportive friends! Looking for a Weight loss cyber family =D
I'll support you. Im 20 years old and live in California. Im looking for a little cyber family also. My only support is my boyriend, and my mom is afraid of me having surgery. Most of my family doesn't know, well I hope they don't know (my mom has a big mouth so I can't be too sure, but noone has said anything about it). Good Luck on your Journey and congrats on getting a date. I will be getting mine in a week or so. Im hoping to get scheduled in the middle to end of January 2011.
Topic: RE: 18 Months Post op getting ready for panniculectomy
Hi there,
I'm about a month behind you, had my surgery in May of last year. I have a consult with a plastics guy next week to talk about getting my arms done...that is my area that I am really self-conscious about. Of course if I could afford it I would get my boobs and stomach done too...lol....I completely understand about the body image thing. I have a pretty strong support system but they don't understand why after losing so much weight I only see what is wrong still..the loose saggy skin, etc. It is such a mind game and some days are easier to handle than others. Feel free to message me anytime; I love meeting others that are dealing with the same things I am!

Thank you! I'm excited for both of us! hehe... I have heard all of the the comments above lol... I have that same kind of exact friend! Sad thing is, she is my best friend.. However she is doing NOTHING about her problem and is actually putting on more weight.... I think thats what is fulling her fire..she is afraid because I am actually doing something about my problem and shes not.. She told me she wanted a specific kinda jean that I had for christmas because last month she borrowed a pair of jeans on a weekend trip and she LOVED them..i get her the jeans and guess what? They are like 3 inches from buttoning.. same size, same brand that I had before..yeah so everytime she says something to me..I literally roll my eyes.
The biggest thing I get is..." I couldn't do that, what are you gonna do when you cant eat sugar anymore, or cant have mountain dew..."i WAS a mountain dew addict" well duh... thats why i want it..I want to change my habbits...i want something to happen when I do something bad to keep me in check... I WANT that tool... and ooh god it ****** me off when they say we are taking the easy way out... is the easy way out by risking your life? Is the easy way out by doing a liquid and puree diet for 2 months" Is the easy way out putting yourself through all this **** just to better yourself? You're friend throwing the gym thing in your face does she not realize that you are going to be excercising as well? Like this isn't a magic fix...that you wont have to change your eating habbits and exercise.? Ignorance can be so bliss can it not?

Wow! Four years and you are so close - I'm really excited for you!
Some of my close friends know, and of course, co-workers because they see me every day and have watched me struggle thru this process.
I love the people who just say 'Why don't you just eat better?' or ' Why don't you just go on a diet?' or 'Wow, you are cutting up your stomach to lose weight? You look fine to me. I could never do that.'
Bracing myself for all the opinon comments once the weight really starts coming off, and just realizing that this is MY choice and I'm doing it for MYSELF and no one else.
I have a friend that is jealous (I think partly because I have insurance for the surgery) and insinuated that I'm taking the easy way out, and that she has worked hard at the gym to lose her weight and I find it difficult to be her friend right now. Especially when she tells other mutual friends the same thing, that its an easy solution, I am doing.
Whatever.

lol you look in your mid 20's as well! haha... I have ben pursuing surgery since NOVEMBER 2006... It has been A LONG journey. A lot of discouragment and a lot of just "life" happening... Yeah i was kinda pissy at first when they rescheduled me, but hey I have waited this long a few more weeks wont hurt right? I have been so excited and dertermined to do it this time around...but I feel SO hesitant...it sucks bc all of my friends think im crazy for wanting to do this to myself...and i just ask them..what am I doing? keeping myself from being out of control??? I mean seriously? it's rather annoying... but I love Obesity Help always have been here since 2007 hehe

Uhhhgg! I would be so frustrated if they rescheduled my surgery! Then again, because of everything we go thru to get approved for the surgery, whats another 2 weeks!?
BTW, hi Kimmie, I'm Alissa.... I'm 31 (tho I feel like I'm in my mid-twenties!), unmarried and no children but in a long-term relationship :)

I have a lot of the same feelings of excitement and nervousness...
A year ago I actually went thru my wardrobe and did some organizing (lots of clothes between sizes 14 & 18) tho as my size went to 22, I found myself shopping less. Anyway, I have a bin labeled 12/14 and another bin labeled 16/18 and can't wait until the day I fit into them!
