    Default Wow! Am I really the fattest one here?

    I'm sure we have all done it ... When you walk into a room and look around and say yup, I'm the fattest one here.

    I kinda feel that way here too, I'm not seeing anyone over 400lbs. I was 463 lbs. in Nov. this morning I am 428.6 lbs.

    I have always considered myself to be somewhat unique and maybe I'm unique here too. Any other supper fluffies out there, let's be friends, it's a long road and we can travel it together.

    I am getting sleeved 2/8/12

    Awe, don't say that! Most of us have already had the surgery and been at it for a while. We all have our battles! You are doing great on your weightloss so far!! Good luck on your surgery.

    You said Amy! No longer should you be focusing on being the heaviest,but being someone who is now taking your future into your own hands. You are now the responsible person that has taken on this journey and will no longer be living in kaos! Good luck to you and do not forget, you are beautiful!

    Sabrina, we are not as different as you might think. I "only" had 100 lbs to loose, and yet i used to do the Same thing and everywhere i went i always felt like i was the Fatest girl in the room. Sometimes i had friends who would go on and on about how horrible they felt because they were a size 12 or 14 and i would think" wow I am an 18-20 I would kill to be as small as them, they must think i am a hippopotamus!" At your weight I know It will take you longer to loose it all, but you will get there!The fact that you have taken this step to take back your life definitely gives us common ground! I would still like to be your friend because i really like your direct honesty, Please send me a friend request if you agree! Love, Rainbow

    Thank you, I'm not not down on myself at all. I just have been all over the forums and not found anyone over 400 lbs so was curious. I'm a very happy positive person and looking forward to the journey.

    Big hug for you sweety, You will not be saying that within 6 months of having your surgery honey. I was on my way to 400 before I had mine and now believe it or not I still feel like the biggest guy in the room when I go somewhere, I guess it takes some time for that to go away.

    First, you're beautiful. Second, your journey is just a bit longer than some here. And since I started at 335, my journey is longer than some here as well. Think of it as more time to hang out with us wonderful people - and we're humble, too
    Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
    CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.
