April 2006 Bandits



Recommended Posts

Audra and whoever else reads this,

I should have less venting today. I am feeling alot better, the headache is slight and the energy level seems to have come up overnight. 2 protien shakes and cottage cheese or yogurt x 3 a day + unlimited broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free drinks is what is on my diet list.

What time is your surgery and where are having it done at?

I'm glad to hear that the headache is better and that the energy level is up. I am soooooooooooooo glad that I'm not on your diet though. There would lots of injured or dead small children where I teach. :heh:

My surgery will be at Plaza Medical Center in Ft. Worth, TX but I don't know what time yet. Since my pre-op is Thursday I'm guessing they'll let me know the time then.

I can't believe how close this is. It's the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing before bed. Unfortunately grad school needs to have some of my thought time and it's hard to work it in. But the thought of letting down my group for our project does help to keep my slightly on track.

This time next Sunday it will just be a few hours before we go in. Wow! :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Amourette, you have beautiful face:-)I love the skirt! it so sad that here in CZ we have only one store with chic fat clothes and they have only one collection (like two pair of pants, few jacket, and two kinds of skirts) not like torrid:-)I wish I could go shopping from time to time to the US. Hopefully I wont need it in couple of months.

Yeah, it did, not the best standard of photo though, this was me at my cousins wedding in Australia last week, I was very subconscious of what I was wearing and my weight, so made me a bit down, but more determined when I got back that I was doing the right thing!

I actually live in new zealand and there aren't many stores here either, i wish I could sew 'cos I think it would be a great business to start up. Here all the big clothes are the same and you see them on everyone else:mad:

Why is there a wheel in the tree in your photo, hehehehe!!!!

C´mon u look beautiful!

I know the feeling when u dont know if u look ok and when someone tells u that u do, u still think that they say it from pity. Hey stop thinking like that I quit it some time ago and it damn helps:-)

Also I know that my friends and my family love me for who I am and not how I look and I bet u whatever u want that its the same with u!

U r beautiful, smart young woman!

I would love to post about how my surgery is going but I will not be home for 3 or 4 days after my surgery :D when i get home it will be the first thing i do. i know that immediate post op stories have been my favorites to read about. i am always encouraged by the ones who are posting their stories the same day as their surgery.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
