Ok' date=' so it wasn't so bad. I was doing my research to calm my nerves when I found out that I had the option of taking the course online. I called and cancelled my in person appointment, and just did it online. Looks like the ball is starting to roll. I filled out the questionaire at the end, and contacted the coordinator. I'm just waiting now on my evaluation appointment. I should have an appointment for that by the end of the day.

Here we go.

Well that's good that they had an online course and that you were able to fill out the paperwork online.

Spent the better part of the week in the hospital with severe palpitations. Had every test known to man' date=' but they can't figure me out. I think its the new med for HBP they were giving me. I'm home now. Still unknowing, still scared. Can't see my doctor until next week. Resting until then.

Oh my gosh you poor thing. I hope you get better and they can find out whats causing the palpitations. Rest and I'm wishing you the best.

Blood pressure is all over the place. I'm so very tired all the time. Ugh.

Linda

That's so not good. It's gotta be the BP meds. I hope you get in with the doc soon.

High blood pressure and prediabetic are conditions that should qualify you along with your BMI

I have always wanted a big family and its nice to have my husbands family. I want to have a good relationship with them, I love their son. I don't get why either that daughter in laws or mother in laws don't get along especially when children are involved. That sucks about her mother, but so wonderful that she has you.

I have seen the Rosetta Stone software at this store on base, I will have to get that after we move. Sorry I have been off this site for awhile, I was really sick and then had a lot going on. Still feeling sick and I have to get another surgery for my back, but I will see about that when we move.

I'm glad you're on good terms with your inlaws. The more the merrier, right?

I was sorry to read that you've been sick. I worried. Stress can really do a number on us. Although it sucks having medical problems on top of it. I hope you're somewhat better now. Remember to breathe. Long deep breaths through the nose and blow it out through your mouth, like you're blowing bubbles. Its great for relaxation.

Hang in there.

Linda

Well then at least your daughter will be happy either way. My husband thinks his different methods like drinking coffee help by giving is a son....lol.... I think it was luck to......lol

Wow you even made your own noodles, very impressive, I wouldn't know where to begin. I'm going to try to make chicken noodle Soup, but in the crock pot when we move. I love the way beef stew taste after sitting in the crock pot over night or throughout the day.

Sounds great! I'm with you about certain things tasting better the next day. Noodles are really easy. I don't have a recipe. lol The crock pot is the most underrated tool in our kitchens. I think people forget they have them.

That's what I'm thinking. I cut my dose in half, and it seems to have helped. I can't shake the fatigued feeling though. Its like I'm walking through Water.

One would think so. Add cholesterol and triglycerides and I think we have a party. The problem is jumping through all the hoops to get it approved.

Right!!! :)

I have my good days and my bad days, but I can't let it stop me. I have so much to do, just gotta keep pushing through the pain. When I have been feeling stressed I try to get outside and walk it helps.

I hope you are feeling better. That's pretty scary how you were feeling. Did you find out any information on getting started with the lap band? Take care and I will be checking in as much as I can.

      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.
