Why I have been missing



Recommended Posts

I just read your post and am so glad your daughter is doing well. I know that through prayers many thing are answered. I hope she continues to recover. Kids bounce back so fast. We spent many of night at the hospital with our youngest ( now 20 ) but you never forget those times. Now is time for you to get rest. Sounds like you have a lot of things on your plate with a new home and all. Just wanted to say I"m thinking of you and your family. DeAnn

Thank you all for the prayers and wishes. things are finally starting to slow down around here. i got most of the boxes unpacked, emily is acting as if nothing has happened, and dh and my son are no longer leaking from both ends. my mother still feels pretty awful, but she pushes through it. Prolly cause she is a mom too and knows what it means to tough something out.

Pnut, I told Rob that exact thing when he came to bed after spending a half hour in the bathroom. lol he told me to shut it, and then didn't say another word. :)

We have been having emily pray for all the children she saw in the hospital while she was there. I think it is important to teach her that people prayed for her, so she should pray for others in turn. She has it down well now, and when we make a little list of all the people she had praying for her, and prayer lists that she was on, she is amazed.

The bit of bad news...I am no longer going to work at nordstrom. I know I just got the job, but all the time away from the store not working, and all the time I will have to take off to see that emily fully recovers is just not fair to expect them to hold my position open without help. I am telling them later today that I am leaving. I know they will be sad to see me go, and i am sad to leave, but emily has to be on some really strong antibiotics for the next month and she can't be in daycare during that time. I feel it is the right thing to do. So I talked with my mother who is a graphics contractor, and got a job working with a contracting company I did some work for many years ago. They have some graphics contracts I can do from here in florida, and I can be at home all day with emily. I think that will be the end of daycare, and her and andy can go to some kids events every week here in town.

Ah Funny.. God is good and all things do happen for a reason. Working from home sounds delightful and you can be with your kids which is so much better than daycare. *big hugs*

So - when do you get banded?? Huh? HUH?? *nudges you*

Hi Amy-

I'm so happy to hear that your Emily is home and that the rest of your family is doing better as well. I worked at home for 5 years and it was great- though I did go a bit stir crazy at times.

Take care,

        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.

      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
