Well, i just thought I would share my feelings right now.
I was approved to have gastric bypass on Thursday and now I am just waiting for my dr. to get back to me and tell me what to do. I have already been on a 1600 calorie diet for a month. I already have to have a sleep study and visit a heart dr. Just need now to make th appt.'s. Had to cancel the sleep appt. due to brothers lung surgery on the same day.
I am excited about going on this journey to a better life. I am scared tho. Not of the surgery its self but of the post life and getting into a routine, finding out what I can and can't eat.
I have been asking alot of questions of these poor ladies on here and they have been so lovely in answering them For that I am eternally grateful.
For a lot of years I had a lot of critisim from outsiders and people just don't really understand how that makes a person feel. I was raised and I taught my kids this as well, that you never know what is going on in a persons life that has made them the way they are. I just can't stand for people to think that they know everything about nothing and are so full of advice when they know nothing at all about what you are going thru. Nobody in this world is perfect and we are each individuals and what works for one may not work for others. I tried to instill that in my kids and grandkids.
This world is made for this skinny person, regardless of all the different size people. I find it hard to sit in restaraunts that have booths due to the fact I can't fit in them. I am also short. 5" 2" and that doesn't help.
I am not looking for sympathy, just understanding and friendship.
Today, I feel overwhelmed as I look up all the info on this procedure but I have been thru this before with my husband and his heart. Just a lot of info at one time. LOL
I want to thank you all for allowing me to be on here and for the help that some of you have extended towards me.

Understanding People
Sep 05, 2008
First of all, I am a very understanding person and I love to encourage people. I am a Christian and I know that without God's help I will not be able to do this. I am a very stong willed person and I know that I can do this with God's help, the support of my family and friends.
I am looking for friends that can help me understand what this process means and what is going to happen to my body, mind, and spirit. I know that this is a long process and I am willing to do whatever it takes to do this. I am flat out tired of looking this way. It is not good for me and my family worries about me alot. I have a good support system at home and I am very greatful for that.
I would appreciate all the help that I can get.
God bless you all,
Phyllis
