Chat room



Recommended Posts

Do many people use the chat room? Every time I go in there I am the only one there. Just curious

I think it depends on when you go in - probably not many there at 4:30 am... however, generally around 9 or so pacific time, you can find Tiffykins, Oregondaisy and myself - sometimes Ruthi and Soontobeskinny join us as well. We'd love to chat with you--hope to see you soon

Tiffy said last night she would be in there for sure tonight. I know I will be in there for sure waiting for everyone. I'll try to get there before 9. I usually open the window and do other things, then wait for the sound of the door bell that lets me know someone came in to chat!

I got a phone call from my friend who is sleeved and having problems. I had the window open but ended up talking to her for an hour. She has been on vacation and we hadn't talked in awhile.

I'll check in tomorrow.

I am on the east coast, so usually about the time you guys are just getting going in chat, and I am off in dreamland.

Most of the time I can chat earlier. I am never doing anything in the evenings and I love to chat. Just send me a pm with what time you want to chat.

I am leaving the chat window open right now so that I will hear the door bell if someone can come in. It's late now, but some people do come in late anyway.

Awwwww thank y'all so very much. . . I'm so excited for him to see me. He's only seen the 2 faces I've posted. We decided that I would keep from the chin down a surprise until I pick him up at the airport. I have a 3ft wide x 6 ft long banner that I plan on holding up until he sees me, THEN, I'll drop it and run jump into his arms.

He's been working out since April, and has gained over 20lbs. He left weighing 163lbs, he's up to 184, and kind of bulked up.

We've both changed, and it's going to be amazing ! ! !

Thank y'all again for all the compliments. Y'all are the best in the entire world.

        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!

      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
