I am basically a bum. I work 12 hours a week for an attorney. The rest of the time, I just goof around.

I'm a food service manager, or the lunch lady for a residential school.

I'm in school full time for business management and MBA combo program.

I've worked in food for 20 years and need to get away from where it's served.

I am a mama...I have three little girls ages 3.5, 20months and 20 months.

In addition, I am a master procrastinator...My house is never clean and my dinner generally comes from a store.

BUT...

My kids and I play all day...ride bikes, take hikes, do puzzles and color. THAT'S why I'm a stay at home mom...not to clean my house!!

:)

Pre-kids, I was an English teacher at a local HS.

I am a forced retiree. I worked for the largest electric provider in Texas for 31 years. My job was outsourced overseas!!! Anyway, I was ready to go and I practically begged them to take my job. I drove 100 miles a day to and from work in all the traffic. So, I am a happy retiree!!!!

I am a cardiovascular technician too, but I do stress testing and EEGs (don't ask me why the brains get lumped in with the hearts!). I just started preparing for the REEG-T boards. Yikes!

        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
