Guest guest Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hi All! I've been reading your posts for about a month now. I am set to have my surgery the end of January or beginning of February. I am 6' tall and weigh 430lbs. I am so anxious and so nervous all at the ame time. This holiday i was so aware of what I was eating and how much I was eating, YET I KEPT EATING!!! I feel like my best freind is going to be taken away, the thing I can always count on. But I know that very thing is what is turning me into a miserable 35 yr old that has lost all confidence and all social skills. I have 2 daughters, 6 & 8 yrs old and a great wife. I have so much making up to do. I come from a very Pennyslvania Dutch family. The land of the ring bologna & cheese, meat, potato & vegetable, Clean your plate, Eat, Eat, Eat!!! I am afraid that it is going to be such a battle once I have the surgery. I think my family is more afraid of what it will mean for them instead of what it will mean for me. Anyway... I am just don't know what to think, like I said, I am excited to be able to function better, to move better, to do personal hygene better, to go places and not feel like I am the fattest one there and most of all to love my family again! -Toby in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
