Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I am 12 days out. Feeling good, but it seems so strange that I just can't eat.... they told me that would happen, and I guess that's why I did this, but it still seems kind of happily odd to me. I keep waiting to wake up from a dream, and find myself like I used to be, head in a big bag of cheese popcorn.< /span>

But my real message here is... all you other new post-ops WATCH YOUR STEPS out there!! Go onto the LL BEAN website and order some of those cheap "ice grippers" that snap onto your shoes, we had a big ice and snow storm today and I had to go out in it and hit a patch of ice and just went sailing across it, like I had skates on.

God's grace was with me though, and I managed not to fall. I was panicky like crazy.... if I had fallen on the hard concrete, I would have definitely done some damage to my healing stomach...

So take a less from the dancing elephant here, and PLEASE BE CAREFUL on the ice!!!

P.S. I am so not selling anything, but here's the LL Bean ice grippers link,.... they're cheap, and cute: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/43355?pi=732928&catalog_id=NJ&ddkey=http:LLBSearchDispatch (the ugly black ones you can get now, but gotta wait till after Xmas for these pink ones)

Be careful out there!

Thank you, I actually fell on my back hard 3 weeks ago and broke a rib. Very painful, especially when coughing. I hadn't checked the weather and there was glare ice on the concrete driveway where I went to get the newspaper. I'm glad I only broke a rib tho'. It could have been an arm or a leg or worse because I sure went down hard and fast! No fun. Now I am very careful where I step.

OMG!!! that's terrible, I am so sorry for you. I broke my rib once a long time ago and I think it hurt just to breathe, realllly painful.

The ice is still there, but somebody tossed a handful of salt pellets on it today I see, I am avoiding it like the plague. HATE this cold weather.

      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.
