What is your favorite Thanksgiving/November Activity?~ well we always go on vacation after thanksgiving to a warm tropical place. This year is Hawaii. So it is vacation for me and I hope to be in onederland for it. The past week has been extremely challenging. We are dealing with the aftermath of hurricane sandy and are lucky enough to have a home but have no power for 6 days now which means in my house we can't even use the toilet or shower. I have curtailed my stress eating, not sure how but I did it. Exercise is non-existent since the streets are a mess and no power for the treadmill. We are at our wits end. I just want to cry right now. I am exhausted from working so much since I am essential personnel. House is cold so a good nights sleep is not happening. But this too will pass. Thanks for letting me vent.

I know I spoke on here about being frustrated over my stressful week and hurricane sandy and the lack of power at my house. However, I am so grateful to have a house still and a family that are all safe. So many people have lost so much this past week. It is heartbreaking to see. Our community has stepped up to help those in need. One of the local churches has gone above and beyond. I am truly amazed by those suffering the greatest losses have such a positive outlook. God bless all of them. I surely can go without power when I speak to some of them. I have lost nothing in comparison.. Well few pounds this week over the stress, which I do not want back.

      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
