Mini, So happy things are no longer being hidden from you. To quote Dr.Phil " you can't fix what you don't acknowledge".

Have you heard how your exams went?

Carole, I so wish and pray your headaches would subside.

Breathe, relax and rest... Everything can wait.

What's going on with Jack, having outpatient surgery? T&P with him.

Di, I hope no news is good news. I pray all is well and improving with your brother.

Michelle, <<big hug>>, hope you are doing well tonight.

Janet, how is your mom doing? Any word? Definitely keeping Maddy in my thoughts as well. Is there something behind why they are doing the endoscopy?

Terri, beautiful quilt and very beautiful goddaughter. Oh, the innocence of youth.

Dee, studying hard? One day closer to you and Terri meeting. :)

Carole, I hope your Migraine has subsided. Those really can be so debilitating. Take care of yourself too. The boxes will be there. :)

Have a great day tomorrow everyone. I think my "funk" is subsiding.. PHEW!!!

Just stopping by to say "Hi"...

Today was better, I still had the Headache this morning, but the medication kept it at a minimum. I did not push myself today, and did not get as much accomplished as I wanted. But I did get over to the rec center for my minutes on the recumbent bike!

Terri, beautiful quilt and lovely Goddaughter!

Janet, definitely prayers for Maddy that all will go well...

Dawn, so pleased to read that your focus is back and your funk gone!

Michelle...it's always a relief to know the situation you are dealing with, and can take effective action. Your son will adjust, and likely will lead the way with his understanding of what he needs to do for himself. Seth did...and he continues to amaze me with all he has achieved.

Dee...how is the summer going? What new adventures have you been up to?

Diane, I hope and pray that you are home and your brother improving...

I don't know what the schedule is tomorrow. Jack has an appointment in the morning, and we will know more then.

Happy Friday everyone...hugs...

Good afternoon ladies,

Maddy did well with endo. But they did wait until she was away from Paula and Jack and poked her at least 7 times for an IV. She is so bruised... Paula said "that will not happen again". All IV's will be done in her presence.

Dawn, she had to have endo b/c she is tube fed and they wanted to see why her tube seems to be leaking a lot. They think that the balloon that holds it in was being overfilled. The more Paula filled it, the worse the link got.

I took Delaney and Jack to the beach and then we had a picnic lunch.

They had ham & cheese sandwich from Subway. I got an egg white and ham wrap. OMG, I am still suffering from a stuck on just one bite.

Freaked the poor kids out. I explained what was going on and they felt bad they could not help me in any way.

Mom is at home, for now. She needs to get her strength back and have GB removed. I will be going to Gainesville next week.

I hope you all have had a good friday.

TTYL

Jay called a little while ago...Jodi, our DIL whose graduation we will be attending next month, God willing, already has a job with her first choice cardiology group at her preferred hospital. She begins her transition position the Monday following the weekend she graduates. She will be a rounding nurse with the cardiologist at the hospital until she passes her board exam, and then will become the ARNP for the same cardiologist.

She has worked so hard over the past 2.5 years with being a great mom, attending school, and continuing to work in the cardiac care unit at ORMC.

We are so happy for the entire family! :)

And, Jack is scheduled for surgery to repair a hernia next Friday.

I really need to learn the way home now, because I will have to do the driving. Some of the roads on the mountain still confuse me. Tomorrow will be our date night, so I'm looking forward to driving a test drive to see how well I do.

I'm taking the evening off from the gym, my right knee is inflamed again. At least now I am wiser, and won't push myself to the point of hobbling again.

I hope everyone is well, that Janet is feeling better...and hope that Maddy's medical team learns how to place IV's and finds out some answers to the leakage.

BBOTWE....!

Hugs...

        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.

        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
