I am a single 28 yr old. I currently work at a local hospital and do nursing. I have a beautiful 8 yr old daughter. I have been very overweight since having my daughter in 2000. Prior to having her I was a very active person who loved life....it has been a constant struggle to loose weight...finally, I have resorted to the Gastric Bypass, origionally I had thought about the band but have decided after ALOT of investigation that it would be best for me & my health to have the Bypass. I began this LONG process 2/2007, now almost 2yrs later I have been approved and have been scheduled for surgery....as time gets closer...the more scared I get, I have done lots of reading, thinking & talking to others about this surgery.... I couldnt be more happy that I went thru with this, it certainly has not been a walk in the park but the results are amazing!!!

Thank you. I'm getting there. Down 121 pounds now. I am struggling with self image as well. I'm wearing my 10 year old daughter's clothes now. It's odd. But I still head for the fat section and bigger clothes first when shopping. I'm the same size or even a tad smaller than I was in high school.
You are gorgeous, how is it that you are single?
I still struggle with self image and feel fat. It is tough. We have to really remember that a year ago we would have killed to be where we are today and learn to love ourselves no matter how we look. It is not easy, but don't let stinking thinking kill your day, your glory, and your true inner beauty. Keep up the good work and know that you are not alone...
thanks for all the support! how are things going!?
I guess you are right, we have been at the same the whole time. I am just not good at keeping track. Also we weren't at 300 to start with too. We have to remember that. I am really going to try on the protien thing. I really know I have been bad about that. It is just werid, do you look at yourself and think that you are not as thin as people think you are?? It is just a mind thing. Any plans for the weekend? We are bowling tomorrow. It is something we do every year in a turnament. We are dressing up in the 80's is should be so fun, we just get really drunk. Not sure about the drunk thing this year, maybe just a few! Have you gotten really drunk yet? I haven't gotten close. Hope you have some fun plans this weekend, finally going to see 45 degree's today should be really nice, I am ready for summer!!
