I am in tears here! That is so cool! Thank you so much for sharing. You have a great looking son, and he wears the uniform well. I grew up in the military, and would be so proud to see my son and daughter go into it myself.

Congratulations! MY hubby graduated from there in 1995. It is a very nice base. Such a proud experience I am sure. Makes me miss military base life! :confused:

I cried thorugh it, don't even know him but I'm so proud of him. My son is meeting Friday night with his recruiter. I at first told him NO, he could not, I would not hear of it, he's 6'8" and I was just not ready to loose my baby boy, but, after much consideration, I told him I could not keep him from doing in his heart what he thought was right and to defend his country. I've done cried a bunch but I'm afraid that it's just beginning.

You have a gorgeous son and I know how proud you must be. Tell him that a lady in Kentucky said Thank you for defending my freedom.

Donna - that was an awesome montage! I cant imagine the pride, fear, worry, hope - that a mother goes through during this transition.

God bless him.

...and yes, my eyes were full of tears.

Thanks everyone! I was a Navy wife in my "previous" life and it didn't work out to well for me so this is not what I wanted for my son. I kept throwing this kid out of the nest and he would not FLY!!!!!! Lol

This was his decision and I figured if he made it through the first week without punching out his drill instrutor, he would make it through the rest!

I am very proud of him, and the good thing is he is proud of himself!

He is on to his first tech school in Biloxi......

Donna congrats on that handsome guy. What an honor for you.

By the way what was his DI's name? My sister-in-law's son is a DI down there. Just curious.

I KNOW you are proud and rightfully so. I shed so many tears when my son graduated from Coast Guard bootcamp 3 days after 9-1-1. For his first 2 years, he served in the Honor Guard in Washington DC. Sons can make a mama cry.......especially when they are in the military. Congratulations!

Thanks for sharing! I have been to two Navy graduations and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated seeing your son graduate from the Air Force! My two step-sons are in the Navy and the ups and downs do bring tears and anxiety - and at the same time tremendous pride! It's good to know so many wonderful men and women are willing to fight for our country! You obviously raised your son well - be proud!

Donna,

My MIL had 3 boys - all 3 enlisted in the Army before they graduated high school (gee, this may say something bad about their homelife :phanvan although it really was a good one). I totally support our military AND what it teaches our young people.

Self discipline, respect for authority, responsibility, independance, order - and - Pride in being an American!

Im proud of you Momma.

Youve raised a good boy - one that makes wise decisions!

His instructor was a woman! That is kind of why we figured he would do ok. He hated when men got in his face, but he was used to his MOTHER doing it LOL

        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
