Who else cannot WAIT for this summer?! The past few weeks have been dragging by for me, waiting for school to get out and to have my surgery. I'm not having it until July 10th because I'm going on a family vacation, and then I'm taking a graduate course for two weeks after. But I am aching for summer to get here! Hopefully this will be the summer of our lives =)

I also keep wondering how much I'll have lost by the time we go back in August. I wonder if my kids will notice a difference by then... Next year should be an interesting year for us!

Hi! Three days left for me! I'm so excited. I had surgery in March. I'm looking forward to working out and trying out new foods and recipes that are sleeve friendly. Hooray SUMMER... Well, I'm teaching summer school- but that's only 4.5 hours a day. I will officially be done DONE in July.

My last day is Friday, and my surgery is TUESDAY due to Memorial Day! I too am on pre-op diet, although I cheated tonight. It's my birthday! I have a week of pure liquids, so I hope it will be all good. Like some of the previous statements, I'd be on the news if I had to go til June or July....geeze! We do go back WAY early this year; July 28th! Metro Nashville has decided to try and work and modified year roundish thing. It's all about the hopeless test scores. I sure miss the days when we just taught, and everyone ended up fine. I doubt this mess makes any stronger students. Best I can tell, it has screwed education.

Hey guys! Teacher here in PA. I go until June 19th (well, the 14th with kids).

My surgery is for July 16th. I can't wait until school is over. We don't have air conditioning..I work in the city, so it's getting pretty hot and the kids are off the wall!

I'm not a teacher now, but am going back to college to get my teaching degree. I just got my Associates & am starting at a university this fall. I'm from upstate NY originally, so I know all about the Labor Day through 3rd week of June schedule! We now live in Austin, TX and have a last week of August through last week of May/first week of June schedule. My daughters get out this coming Friday (some districts here got out last Friday).

Anyway, I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. I did my pre-op diet during finals at college & had surgery on 5/14, which was the Monday after my finals were over. I'm so happy with my decision & rejoice in all the little changes I've gone through so far!

Good luck to everyone!

      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
