THAt's OKAY i decided against the weight loss surgery and it was actually the best decision of my life! I've already lost 2 lbs and counting with a local support group! called "tops" (taking off the pound sensibly! their an amazing group of people who like us have weight issues and what the group is is women and men who follow not so much a "diet" it's the Canadian food guide (fruits,vegetables,meat (or if your a veggie you eat soy or nuts or whatever veggies eat meat replaces) and dairy etc) we also calorie count too (you can have 1800 calories (but this depends on your "weight loss goals"! i joined last month and i love it! maybe we could be pen pals?

thanks

Hi Daraja!! 

thanks for replying!! I have a very small support system lol! myself and my boyfriend of 6 years (well hes working on it.) My sister doesnt really approve because i asked her hypothetically and she was against it, aside from that i have no one else considering i lost my parents years and years ago.

I just have sooo much going on like Im a fulltime student, and im doin the preop workup for the surg and I work part time. Im hoping for a surg date in or around the beginning of June so I can hopefully be healed by the start of school in sept. I am glad i can share with someone in the beginning of their journey. Of course i appreciate the veterans who are years out, i think i feel better connected to someone who is new to the experience like me.

I see your surg date is coming up!! OMG!! are you nervous?? girl i think i would be going crazy!

I have no idea how the secret pal thing works. I will be 3 months out Friday. You can email if you would like at
