She had brain surgery in April for swelling around the brain. No cure-made her go deaf. Biopsy of a tumor on her pancreas in April. Heart surgery 6 weeks ago. Monday is surgery for a large anuresm between her heart and stomach. I've cancelled my sleeve surgery twice to be with her. I have faith that she will be ok. I need to get my sleeve to help me be healthier so I can take care of her.

I remember you having to postpone your surgery. I am so sorry your mom is having these issues. You are wonderful for being there with her and helping her through all of this. My thoughts are with both of you. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.

Could you post the time you are in the chatroom including CST or PST for example? I am in Central time and have no clue where anyone else is.

thanks

Tiffy is in Florida so whatever time zone that is. I am on the west coast so I am on Pacific time. I usually open the chat window and leave it open while I do other things. That way, there is a door bell that rings and when someone enters the chat room, I can hear it and know that somebody wants to chat.

I suggested we set up a regular chat night and time and try to work it out during a time that is convenient for a lot of people.

Leaving the chat window open also works fine for me, cause I am usually on my lap top in the evenings, so even if I am on another site, I can hear the doorbell ring and go back to the chat room.

I'm sorry I disappeared. A friend of mine is going through a really bad break up with her boyfriend who just returned from a deployment, and she needed to talk.

I'm in the NW panhandle of Florida so I'm on CST. I usually pop in between 9-10pm CST, and leave the chat window open. I rarely go into the chat during the day because I never find anyone in there.

I think CST is only 1 hour ahead of PST Daisy - I'm hoping to be able to get into chat one of these nights if things ever calm down (and I can get through all of the posts that accumulated while I was on vacation)

Yes I found out last night that tiffy is 2 hours ahead of me. I thought it was 3.

A new gal who is in AZ has been coming in. I talked to her on the phone today too, and she is very nice. She is only 3 weeks out of surgery.

Chat is starting to pick up! I am really happy!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
