13 more days...today was really bad...a co-worker bought me a caramel nut candy apple (she doesnt know) and I said ahh gee thanks! and I sat it on my desk...I wanted to throw it away but I knew the kids would tell on me, so it just sat there all day....I picked it up a couple of times to play the bag but did not open it....I was going to put in the trash after school, but I was cornered by kids with pizza, asking me if I wanted some pizza a chips (they were having a afterschool party) and I politely turned them down, then I high tailed it out of the school....leaving the candy apple on my desk....

Now I'm thinking about that chocolate/caramel nut dipped candy apple, ugh....

But I am proud I did not break my liquid diet!!!

Great job! You can either hope it disappears or take it with you and throw it away at a gas station or home

PEvette, I'm so darn happy and proud of you. It's got to be hard to do the liquid diet with all the temptation, bless your heart seriously!!!!!

We're here for you and I know you can do it. Sending big hugs your way!

Thank you so much everyone...at one point today, while smelling everyone's memorial day leftovers, for the first time I questioned why was I putting myself through this, my insurance refuses to cover WLS even when the teacher union went to talk to the board about it...the question I was asking was, I eat sensibly, I am mobile, I can get around great, until I stood up and both of my knees grinded and creeked (still after surgery on both).....then I went out and saw a cute little baby in the cafeteria (today is election day in texas, people were voting in the school)....I want a baby (2 babies) and I dont want my knees to hurt so bad anymore....and I DON'T have control like I "proclaim" I need this...

But that damn candy apple will be making a trip to the custodian area trash can in the AM...

Again, than you everyone!!

Yea, Yea Yea!!!!! PEvette. You are really great. Carmel apples would be one of my many weaknesses and I greatly admire you being able to resist temptation. Carmel apples are only one of the reasons I am so obese. Keep up the good work. I will think about you when I start the liquid diet, because I know it is going to be really hard.

Good going PEvette! Today is day three of my preop and all I can think of since I came home from work is food lol. I ate as much lettuce as a colony of bunnies for dinner so I know I can't be hungry. Drank two Water and am feeling so tired. So keep up the good work. This is definitely a challenge. Tomorrow will be better

Yo go girl!!! PEvette, you rocked it today :) I'm so proud that you stuck to your guns, it shows me that you are going to be so successful with your surgery.

They have you started on your liquids early. We have the same date, and I don't officially start until Friday the 1st, although I'm semi starting early. We will have to connect around the 18th to check in on our progresses!!

      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.
