I am going to concord mills....but I don't have the numbers of everyone anymore, can you mail them to me? Concord mills sounds better than painting curtis room, no offense. LOL I have about 10 more fairies to paint in Karahs room, only did 4 so far.

ehh, I will pass on the painting. I did my share 3 months ago. I redid Kirsten's bathroom to Winnie the Pooh. Its very cute. One day, I will hang the Princess Wallpaper I have for her bedroom. ..... one day.

I dunno about Sunday. Lug has a friend from Roanoke here this weekend. I dont know what I have planned **for me** already. I know the cleaning that I am putting off today HAS to be done tomorrow.

I am scrapbooking today. I have a few more pages to do in Kirsten's baby book. I hope to get it done today. Otherwise, I will obsess about it tomorrow and do it then.

Is anyone else a rabid scrapbooker? I signed up for my weekend of FUN FUN FUN in August already. The Creative Keepsakes Scrapbooking Convention is the first weekend of August. I went last year. It was a hoot. Anyone want to take some classes with me?

I might meet you over there tomorrow - we are going to lowes to get the paint and stuff so I can start on it monday. Yeah me!!! Plus I need to get sand for his sand box because he told me today he couldn't play w/ his truck outside because he didn't have sand. Go figure...HE'S 3!!!!

Found me 3 pairs of capris @ a yard sale today for $3.00. They are Liz!!! I was so excited I didn't care if I didn't find anything else today!!!

Alright so I enjoyed being outside some much today I am hating it's going to rain tomorrow although I haven't seen the weather report so it could've changed since the last time I saw it.

Have a great night!!!

Sorry I couldn't make it was the weather that didn't get me out of the house all day..it was just yukky out.

We just got home. We saw stick it. It was a really cute movie. Bought Karah two outfits at childrens place for 20 bucks. I love that store. Bought me another charm for my bracelet...down 45lbs now. I did have a mocha chill which I regreted as soon as I took the first sip, it was way too sweet, but I drank it, during the movie. Bad me. But all I ate before going to the mall was a yogurt, and then everyone met up (kristen's friends group) at UNO's for dinner. I was good there, ordered soup...the whitebean and chicken chili , and ate like half a bowl, have the rest for lunch tomorrow. I think I'm done for the day...so even though that mocha thing probally had 500 calories or more....I didn't blow it TOO bad hopefully. NO popcorn at the movies....that was a tough one...but wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be.

It wasn't that bad really, the movie helped break up the time. By the time all the teenagers met up (there were 8 of them), and I let Karah spend the money that was burning a hole in her pocket at the icing store, it was time for the movie. After the movie, shopped at childrens place until the girls called and said they were ready to go to unos for dinner.

The charm I bought for my Bracelet says "i love sushi"....I love it. I have an anchor I hope I can "earn" before the cruise.

I looked up my soup...I did good, for what I ate it was only about 140 calories, and 7.5 Protein. The mocha thingy...so bad that they have NO nutrional info on it....I looked up what a mocha frap is at starbucks to get an idea...eek 420 calories.

My older brother came down from Roanoke, VA this weekend and hung out with us. It was low key and enjoyable. Getting caught up, I didn't get nearly enough sleep this weekend, and am dragging big time today.

The pinched nerve is improving, albeit very slowly. I'd say it's 40% better? Any/all improvement is appreciated. I'll leave a message with my PCP later this morning and see if he wants to go for a second round of steroids or give it more time first?

I'll call the appeals line again on Thursday. I've already decided on Plan B. If not approved this time, I'm going back to my PCP for appetite suppressant meds, and I'm going to pretend I have a band ... including the two weeks of liquids and mushies, etc.

Wow, well this coming weekend I am child free so if anyone can do a little something let me know. Well I will get to see the kids on Mother's day. It will be nice to be able to hang out by myself on Mother's day a bit too. It will give me time to relax. I will miss them but I will see them at some point that day. Let me know if you do get up with one another. Hopefully you all have my numbers?

OMG Melissa that is a lot for a drink..how crazy is that. But look you are so good not going over your calories....You go girl!!! Ok so are you getting enough calories?

Angie - girl a kid free weekend wow that is something I am sure you aren't use to. Having 3 of them I am sure you aren't going to know what to do w/ yourself. How are you doing? You are sounding better...I am always thinking of you!!

Karen sounds like you had a great weekend. I need one of those weekends. Oh we are going to a place called the Kickstand Lodge in July. It's a motorcycle camp ground. It should be interesting...Mom and I have a back up plan of staying in a hotel room while the guys sleep in the VERY LITTLE cabins. :P

How is everyone? Dianne where are you? I will see you tomorrow @ the office...Jennifer how are you? Denika? Kathy haven't heard much from you, Lovely LT come on out of hiding....and everyone else...

We had a good weekend seems like I spent all day @ lowes on sunday. Gotta love that. They got all my time and my money. :phanvan But his room will look good when it's done.

Alright have to go back to work after being off for 4 days and as much as I love my job you just never want to go back. However on that note - Curtis and I need some time apart. I love him but oh my!!! He is just wild.

Have a good night!!!

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
