The heat is one thing but, when you toss in the awful humidity, it's horrible. I keep the shades down, the A/C and fans on and have focused on getting the inside of the house in shape. Today, I'm cleaning windows and hanging new curtains. Frequent showers also help.

Elisabeth, you have AC??? I don't think I know anyone that actually has AC other than in their cars!

I moved my bed out to the back yard, under the broad-leave maples. One of the perks of owning part of a greenbelt! I still can't convince the DH to move outside with me. I'm working on it though. I guess when he realizes that I'm there for the rest of the summer he might cave though.... :)

The reason I'm under the trees is that 5am when it gets light is a bit too early for this Gurl!

Hoping everyone else is doing well! We went to the movies, and cooled off there. I think I'll be going to a matinae tomorrow afternoon, just to beat the heat.

When I purchased my house, the very next thing I did was to go out and buy 3 air conditioners and I don't regret it one bit. I'm on balanced budget billing with the electric company so I pay about the same each month. This allows me to spread the cost out over the year.

Where do you live that nobody has A/C? I'm on Long Island in New York.

I tried to get my DH to let me go buy an AirConditioner during the heat - he said it was only a few days and wouldn't agree. :huggie:

I spent time in the kids' pool the EZ Set and stayed in my car as much as I could! sleeping when its hot like that is a real bear!

        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
