in Introduce Yourself
My name is Stephanie and I need to lose 80 more lbs to make it to my goal weight. I am now at 228 and started at 248. I was heartbroken yesterday when My surgery for gastric sleeve surgery was cancelled due to a crazy reaction to the meds in my iv. It caused me to panic and have chest pain. I was so scared and they rushed me to er and watched my heart and sent me home. I need to do this without giving up b4 I am done. I have made it 40 lbs here or 20 there and put it all back on plus some and that is not going to work. I have hbp and mvp so I have to move slow. I need motivation every day but as of now I saw the dietian for the surgery so I know how slow to eat and how to watch my intake. Any way its nice to be here and thanks for the oppertuntity.

    Stephanie -- good luck to you. although its easy to find advice on the physical part of this journey, its not often easy to find advice on the mental part of the journey. being that the mental part of the journey is often more difficult, I recommend reviewing my will power blog below and creating your own will power pill.

    Welcome Daisy and Stephanie! This is actually the first time I've used the actual online feature.. I usually do everything through my phone. But it's nice to know this message board is here! Good luck to all!

    Welcome...I'm sure you can do this if you put your mind to it. Your health is the main reason to stick with it and take it one day at a time ...Rome was not build in one day and neither will your body and weight loss, but eventually you will reach your goal...and i always say no matter how little or slow you loose at least you loose and not gain....

    THank you Nati. I really needed to here that. I am having a hard time with the thought of how long it will take to do it. THe one good thing I am going to look forward to is hopefully seeing 2 lbs a week leaving my body! I will stay on this board bc all the failed attempts b4 were bc I was going at it alone.
