Hi Everyone!

Still on the liquid diet high of fast weight loss! I'm not doing too bad and haven't wanted to kill anyone yet, I figured I'd be at that point long ago! Only one more week of liquids and on to mushies.

I remember that first bite of mushies. I think I'll remember it forever.

It was a bite of cottage cheese, and I swear that was the best bite of food ever to cross my lips! You're doing great, Andy Liz! *hugs*

I remember flying to vegas once stuck in the emergency row with a married couple and I told the guy "if this thing goes down, you're throwing that open and me and her are outta here!" hahaha. He said ok.

My first bite of mushies was a bean Soup with canadian bacon. It was sooooooooooooo good!

I'm having a hard time right now. I'm three weeks banded today but the anniversary of my mom dying is coming up quick and one of my best friends just found out yesterday that her mom has terminal cancer and it's just bringing it all back to me. I want to EAT EAT EAT! Though I can't eat much I am making very bad food choices. Yesterday my calorie intake was about 1900 instead of about 900. I feel like I'm going nuts. Too much anxiety.

Dawg, tell them you intend to lead by example. You will open the door, jump out, and yell back "FOLLOW ME". Any sane person won't be waiting for instructions.

Oh, great NSV - my wedding band and engagement ring no longer fits me. It falls off when I lower my hand. Also, I got in touch with a long lost buddy from myspace. I have a wedding to attend in Puerto Rico next month. I need to get down another 20lbs and I will.

I don't know what is crackalackin...

But my grandma used to make cracklins!

She'd trim the fat off the pork chops, and chop it into little pieces, then fry those up in a pan. She'd use the grease and the cracklins to flavor some nice greens, or greens and potatoes, or green Beans.

As a kid, we'd always try to steal and eat the cracklins before she used them all to cook, they were salty and crunchy... and I think large contributers to all the heart attacks in that family!

How's that for details?

Grandma's don't know any better. They are used to cooking the old fashioned way, before all of the diseases were outted.

You can buy "Pork Scratchins" in the UK bars. Identical in all respects to Paul's Grandma's Heart Stoppers.

Add beer and it's... well horribly unhealthy but it is salty and... crunchy.

:confused:

      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.
