I have searched the CCRA website and can't find what I"m looking for. I definitely do not want to tell this gal... she IS nice, but has a big mouth, and wouldn't personally benefit from me educating her about it!

I'll look a little harder on the website and see if I can find something.

Thanks guys.

My mom left a voice message for me telling me that my grandma (dad's mom) died this morning. It wasn't really unexpected, she hasn't been 'well' in a long time... been in a nursing home for maybe 11 years, with very bad Alzheimer's and I'm sure not in a good state. We hoped that this would come to 'put her at peace', so I guess it is good... much better for her. I hadn't seen her in a really long time, but my dad did go visit more often. Anyways, yeah, kinda sad... but relieved that she's not suffering anymore.

My condolences Mandi. You are right, she is no longer suffering.

You can also call a CCRA hotline for answers to your questions. I am sure that you can ask them anonymously if you prefer.

Condolences on your grandmother. In some ways it is a blessing. Try to remember her for the women she was before she became ill.

The computer has a built in camera that has little 'filters' you can apply weird things to the pictures you take, such as:

        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.

      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
