and the journey for this surgery is taking forever. so many doctors have looked at me, but no one sees me. if they did, they would see i am dying inside. my mom says, well just loose weigh while your waiting. what is wrong with me, why cant i even lose a few pounds.    — Tica G.

Hi Tica, I had a real hard time understanding your question so I went to your profile. Aha now I see you are frustrated while in the waiting game. I can understand the weight gain during this time. I think it happens to all of us. Just remember it wont be any easier on you if you continue to gain while waiting. You want your body to be in the best possible condition so you can recover from surgery faster. I know it is frustrating waiting,but next time you eat try to make the right choices , I used to pig out but,I would eat 4 apples before the candy or junk food,it fills you and the junk isn't so appealing. Good Luck,Have patience your day will be here before you know it.Remember good things come to those who wait.

I agree that the waiting game is the hardest thing of all, espeically since we're all anxious to start the next phase. But from all the stuff I've read, the waiting is well worth it in the end. Hang in there!
