I'm in Texas, and it's COLD



Recommended Posts

I'm so happy today. I suprised my best friend (since high school) and made her cry. We all met at (THE BEST) Mexican restaurant but I hid. She walked up to the table as I peeked with a weird look on her face trying to figure out who the guy was sitting at the table with his back to her. It was Chris, but it took her a while to walk around the table and register in her mind. The second she saw Chris, she got all shaky and just kept saying, "OH my God, Oh, my God!" Then she hugged him while looking frantically as I popped out with this huge ridiculous bow around my hat. We both cried, and she said it was the best present ever. Then we suprised Mom & Dad. Then they all argued over where we should stay, so we agreed to stay here one night, then there another, then back n' forth.

I'm at Conrad's (Jill's son) who lives with my other baby, Jessie (Rad's step-sister.) The last time I spent Christmas with Jessie was when she was so tiny that she sat in my lap for dinner. Now my babies have left for their grown up jobs, and Chris just woke up. With all this love, I slept for the first time in months, like a rock. sleep of the gods.

Today, the world is our oyster... as soon as Chris "coffee ups" we'll get in the car and start exploring since everyone's working.

It's COLD!

Sorry to the Dallas bunch, but I can't make it down there. The weather is too unpredictable after last night's ice-over or sleet thing or whatever you guys call this crazy weather. I went to shwoose all the Water off the windshiled but it was puddles of frozen ice all over the car. Cars a slippin' & slidin' on the roads and major traffic jams would turn a 4 hour trip into a 6 hour nightmare.

I'll see ya'll in the Summer when I go to Slumber Convention in Ft. Worth (I think it's August.) We'll plan to stay an extra day.

Enjoy your vacation!! It sounds like last night was great. Although you think its cold, I'm jealous. We are at -7 with a wind chill of -24 this morning. Burr.

Too bad Chris didn't get a picture of you with your bow. Please have him take one to post. We will be waiting. Celeste

Oh, I have lots of pics with and without the bow. I'm having a blast but time's going way too fast. I actually put 350 miles on our rental car today (I'm kinda hard to keep up with.) I spent a fortune on who-knows-what, but I'm wearing the CUTEST Harley hoodie right now :(

Is there Rudy's barbeque in Dallas? If so, save me a damn seat! We just ate there, but my 3 friends were friggen ravenous animals that never even chewed their food. I was in such love/appreciation/admiration/lust over the mountain of barbeque that I was really disappointed that they all ate so fast. My band is wide open and I could have sat and enjoyed the meal with some regular bandsters. And the bastards let me leave without one of those lemonade pies. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I want to get pregnant and name my child Rudy. Rudy's is awesome!

Hello everyone, I am new at computers & I am in the process of waiting for the insurance approval for my band. Does anyone know how long it takes for the insurance to approve? I am very excited about it. I live in Pasadena, Tx.

        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
