Warning: These are a couple of my burn pics



Recommended Posts

We were having a large garage built and they threw all of the scrap into one big huge pile about 15 feet wide and 10 feet tall. I wanted to save my husband the trouble of burning it so I got a gas can that said diesel on it which our tractor uses and I climbed all over the pile pouring the whole 5 gallons on it. I lit it and it was gasoline I had just poured everywhere. It blew up and rocked the whole subdivision, everyone was running outside to see what had happened. It threw me 33 feet when the ambulance arrived and I was on fire bad. I stopped, dropped and rolled, (see I did pay attention in school) and put it out but all of my skin just dripped off. I couldn't even walk for months. This was 3 years ago and when my weight problem started.

oh dear god! I just posted to your other thread.

Did you have to have skin graphs? where did you get the skin? OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod!!!!!! I had a couple deep tissue burns from a motorcycle accident years ago, but the largest was only about the size of a man's palm. (flipped my bike several times after hitting a patch of white gravel. Ended up face down in a drainage ditch, pinned under my engine.)

        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
