Tonight we took the kids to Maccas for a treat. They wanted to go play on the equipment when we were finished, so for the first time EVER I went in with them. I thought at any minute I would get stuck up in those little tubes....but...I didnt. I made it all the way through and came flying out the other side down the slide. The kids were so excited about me going through it with them. The funny thing is when I finished it the first thing I said to hubby was...I cant wait to get home and post this on LBT as a fun NSV and he was like "WHAT???" What is a NSV. I explained it to him and he laughed. I guess only we can understand the meaning of NSVs.

So excited I just had to share.

What a blast! I think it's possible this is an even biggger NSV for your kids. For the first time ever Mommy joined them in the tubes! I know for my son, the biggest NSV is when I chased him down the stairs, round the truck and out into the street. I almost caught him too :).

For me, the biggest thing about NSVs like this is that they have real impact on our children.

WOW thats awesome!!! Those tubes are a scarey place! My son went into one at McDonalds and either got stuck or scared or something, but it caused me to FLY into one of the tubes, without the thought of oh my god Im gonna get stuck! He went thru the rest without a problem~and of course I got stuck! I yelled down to my mom, um maaa She knew what happened, she said How are you getting down? I said CALL 9-1-1...The rest of the patrones at the place, all there with thier kids having a "normal" night out were HYSTERICAL! I inched my way out, 9-1-1 was not called...and all had a WONDERFUL laugh at my expense. I have a wonderful memory and know ONE DAY I too will make it thru the tubes...

Thanks for the inspiration!~

YOUR AWESOME~~

Yeah, I like that name better too, Maccus. I may have to call it that from now on too, just to get a rise out of people. It'll be fun to see the bewildered look on their faces, and then tell them, "That's what my aussie friends call it. Doesn't it sound sooooo much nicer?" LOL

My aunt calls Target - Tar-jay, with the j making a ju sound, like the french speak. She says it sounds prettier. LOL

Ohhhhh doesnt everyone just call it Maccas. Thats really all Ive ever known it as, and noone ever calls it Mc Donalds. I didnt realise it wasnt the same over there. Oh well you learn something everyday. Your turn to teach me some American slang now. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
