Back from the Oprah show!!



Recommended Posts

Well, I am back from Chicago and seeing Oprah. It was really interesting to see how things are done. The show that was taped airs today and it is about the Oscar's. She had Diane Keaton and Emma Thompson on and showed past winner's clips. Then we were going to do an After the Show but they had to do a show on the child predator's. They caught another one and she had the man that turned the predator in there and was interviewing him. So we were able to be there for two shows. She looked really good in person!! And she was very friendly and funny in between takes. I didn't get to see much of Chicago at all but I did get to go to a place to eat that someone on this board told me to go to! It was called the Flat Top Grill....and it was soooooo good! :biggrin1:

I was wearing a black velvet jacket with a white, ruffled shirt under it. I have dark brown hair and I was sitting next to my mother-in-law who was wearing a blue sweater and has platinum blonde hair...can't miss her hair!!!! :) We were sitting on the upper level in Oprah's view of the audience...she was facing us. They had the camera in our direction at one point but that is if they use that. SO! Does this mean that instead of looking like I have lost 35lbs...it will look like 25lbs since the camera adds 10lbs???? :)

Ohhh...I'm so jealous! I've been trying to get tickets for the past three years. How did you get the tickets? I DVR Oprah everyday, so I'll look for you. How cool is that! :clap2:

Well, I watched Friday's show and they really didn't show much of the audience but there is still the Monday/Tuesday show on child predators...we'll see. But it was a great experience and a pleasure just to be there.

I think). They moved us around and I was across from the stage in the front row up one level. There was a railing in front of me so I don't know if it will block me or not.

        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
