Anyone? Am I The Only One In April?



Recommended Posts

I guess being and ER nurse is why i am not nervous. Or maybe its cause i dont have an actual date yet. I am just way excited. Cant wait. But i do admit i do sometimes think oh I wont be able to have this again etc. But you know thats ok if i cant. I can find something else to love like hmmm clothes shopping. LOL i have been finding myself looking at things like halloween costumes (its my bday) to find something cute not a tent this time

Deb i think you need to call your doc and tell them you NEED to get your date set in April because your online support group is insisting. Ya know... your under a ton of "peer" pressure and you cant' handle the stress tongue.png

Think it will work?

LOL Scopio i wish that would work. But he wants the insurance to approve it first and i do understand that. Being in the Medical field i see how if they schedualed a bunch of surgerys and they didnt get approved or didnt happen then they would lose alot of money. But i promise my 6 mos is over on march 22 and i am going to start bugging the insurance company on the 24.. lol They will get sick of me.

I like Springers!

How much time is everyone getting off of work? I am an NICU RN and my co-worker got off 6 weeks for the band.... Which I would love.

That or spingsters.... I am not taking anytime off that i can keep from taking. Cause i really hope in a year and half i will need time off for a Tummy Tuck. So what i am going to do is work up to the day of my surgery and then not to back till the next week. I can work 3 days before and not go back for a week and maybe take a day or 2 off is all. I will go back to triage which I did last year with a broken shoulder and arm in a sling.. LOL I am a bit of a work acholic though.

Springers! Love that!

I'm a week off. Not sure about the heavy lifting. I think you might want to be careful about that part of your jobs. I stand all day and get shoulder pain, but no heavy lifting! I'm not sure I would do with 6 weeks off.

So we can go with Springers?

I own a very small salon in Central Phoenix. Yep, another hair stylist!

So any objections to starting a group called Springers? I'd be happy to create it, just want to check with everyone about the name.

Let me know!

my blog post from yesterday

Date Night

I have a date tonight. Nothing too exciting, someone I've seen before. Almost a year ago and things between us just faded away. I'm looking forward to catching up but really don't expect much more than that. However! I do enjoy dressing up sometimes. Getting my "cute" on in my own casual way. I'm not into heels or

bling

but I do like to look good. So this desire had me in the store today looking for something new to wear. XL or Plus 1? What a choice!! But that's my reality right now. I'm a big girl and it sucks! Really sucks. I did find a blouse and a pair of jeans but as I was trying them on I made a promise to myself that today will be the very last time I buy a size 18! EVER! I don't' care if it takes me 6 months to go down one size I'm NOT BUYING FAT JEANS AGAIN. Did everyone hear me? More importantly....... did I listen? yes yes yes!

Springers is good with me! Hope your date was fun and I'm sure you looked great. I know all too well about "the promise". I retired last July and made the same promise. Not buying anymore clothes unless it's a smaller size.

Maybe all the years of slamming down food between clients has caught up with us?

Or in between patients.

I think I need the six weeks off to build good habits and get into a routine. I'm worried if I don't have them well established I will be more apt to fail.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
