Oh yeah, by the way. I decided I didn't want that 27 mill. last week. I'm holding out for the 30 mill. this friday!

Ahhh... what a nice Christmas present that would be. Doesn't it seem so unfair that I don't win? (hehe) I would give SO much away... I would do good things! I would even start a Canadian LBT Cruise Fund! Why is it always the 80 yr olds that win?!?!?

I'd really be happy winning something like the "Set For Life" even. That would be cool.

Hey, I just bought 2 set for life cards today, spent $10 and won back $5. I would definately be happy with winning $1000 a week for the next 25 years!!! I am also competing for the 30 mill Mandi, I already have alot of it spent in my mind.

Oh... me too becca!

So.... dagbnabbit (?)!!! I lose a pound for my weigh-in today. 195.4 .

194 would make me able to say I've lost 90. I'll weigh myself again on Friday before we leave town, but I won't count on it. Maybe I'll just fudge it a little and round up to 90 even if I don't make it.

Wow Mandi, sounds like a cool place to work. We will be going through some renovations starting Jan 3rd. Tomorrow the packing company is coming in to pack. Some stuff will go into storage for 6 weeks (during the renovations) some will go to a storage area with easy access and some will be put in the hallway for access at all times (which is most of it). It's pretty funny to deal with people who have absolutely no knowledge of what you do. I had to explain why we need access to some of the inventory, manuals, consumables etc and the manager said "it's all very technical isn't it?". Of course I didn't say anything but I was thinking, we are Medical Laboratory Technologists ....duh.

haha... is that *the* same manager??

Tonight was the big night at the gym. Lauren and I both got congrats cards, stuffed with some moolah! I also found out that I WAS the REAL 1st place! She was 22.75 and I was 23.5 ... the 3rd place lady was 16. I don't know how they get those numbers... something with the weight and measurements. That gave me a little bit of a smirk (don't tell!)

thanks guys, and guess what!?! I saw a 194.8 on the scale this morning!!! Close enough!

Now, someone tell me... how the hell does liquid cause me pain? I made the mistake of trying a Protein Shake yesterday morning. That was a bad idea. It ruined my day, and everything was very difficult to eat. Then this morning, I decide that no Protein Shakes for me... but surely milk would be ok. NOPE. Then I thought my hot coffee would make it all better. NOPE. I drank maybe 1/4 of it. Ordered Soup at lunch, managed to drink the liquid from it, and a couple bites of turkey (after hot tea also!) ... the spit up slime on the way back to the office! GRRRRR!

Mandi congrats on being no 1 and 194.8. You are doing soooo well. About the band, it can be so finicky. The good news is that it is temporary so hope you will feel better soon.

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

        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.

      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
