Ahh shucks, you guys are making me blush, but thanks, I just like to keep my hands busy, thats all, I just do stuff while I'm watching TV at night. To bad it couldnt be something that burned more calories, though!!

Angel Bear, that particular craft show was a good one!

I keep thinking I'd like to sell some of my stuff on E-bay, but I'm not quite sure if it's worth it or even how to do it.

A CRAPPY UPDATE.....

I don't want sympathy, I just need to unload, and you guys are great for bearing the brunt of it, sorry.

I found out this morning that my kidney infection has returned, which would explain why I havnt felt great lately, so back on antibiotics AGAIN!! Then to make matters worse, I get on the scale this morning and I'm back up 2 POUNDS!!! That was worse then hearing about the stupid infection. I've been really good, too. I have been feeling rather tight the last couple weeks, so I'm not sure where those 2 pounds came from. So, Im feeling sorry for myself today, I'll feel better tommorow!!!:cry

Cloe,

Hugs, I agree with Yoda and your body knows you're sick and is helping itself - just hang in there. U r doing great!

I did the E-bay thing for awhile with my gift baskets - seems everyone is doing them now - and the sales out of province (while a pain for mailing etc were great) but setting up an account etc was time consuming. I haven't kept it up and now just do special orders. Craft shows were slow this Christmas too. Lots of ppl but not lots of sales for any of the crafters.

Let us know how you're feeling! (again hugs and hydrate hydrate!!)

You haven't PEED in 4 days?! I'm assuming you must be talking about that cause of the kidney infection... but then again, maybe you'd be dead not peein' for 4 days... I dunno.

If you're talkin' about the other "bathroom... yeah... things are rough for me too. Breakin' out the MoM again tonight, and I'm gonna KEEP takin' that damn Benefiber. (I bought the chewable ones, cause I thought I'd take them for sure that way.. but they're grooooss!!!!)

at first i thought she meant pee too, but i think she's talking poo, cuz like u said, im pretty sure you'd be dead if u didnt pee for 4 days!

do those chewable benefibers swell up? do they go thru your stoma okay? would you recommend them (besides the taste?)

I don't think they expand, no. Actually.. if you think about it, they should be just like Benefiber powder, which doesn't 'bulk' either. If you can take the taste, yeah... for sure give 'em a try. I'm probably just a wimp. Dan's takin this 'Real Fiber' chewable things too, and he likes them. I think they taste way better than the Benefiber, but are much bigger, and a little dry (if that's possible). Doesn't matter though, cause they get chewed up, and I wash 'em down with Water.< /p>

        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
