Good Morning all..... its Saturday!

Eileen: Super glad surgery is over for Olivia. :confused: And that parking thing made me mad! We had to pay in Los Angeles, but not that much.

Beanie: Your posts always make me laugh, and I needed to smile this morning. Hey, don't they automaticly take OUT the calories from cheesecake when it's made? We gotta find you an alternate treat.

Darcy: I continue to post here cause YOU will take me to your cabin.... I just have to be thin enough to fit thru the door! Support coming your way as you study for that externship in dog training (and you will find time to post also).

Today is another super cleaning day..... but I have the kids and they will make the progress abit slower. I also got a surprise from my Mom, she sent me $200 for my attorney fee:) So now I just need to add postage and pray that insurance gives me my lapband approval. One day at a time.

Yesterday I woke up and my left ankle is slightly swollen. It's a sign that my body is not as healthy as I once was and time to change my lifestyle. So, I'm gonna drink lots of Water, elevate my leg, drink grapefruit juice(natural diaretic) and p p lots. I'm hoping to visit Disneyland tonight at about 6pm. They have halloween decoration up and the walking will do me some good. So thats my plan for today. Hugs all!

Good morning!

Thanks, Eileen, for the update on Olivia! I pray she recovers and heals completely. Good for you for doing some shopping! Another catalogue that carries "giraffe" sizes are L.L. Bean...they have talls (34" inseams). I like their jeans and khakis; I'm so glad I can wear them again. I normally wear 18s, but in their sizes, I need a 20. You can look at their stuff online.

Patty, what a blessing! Put a stamp on that sucker, and let's get started on the appeal process! Have fun in the Land! Make sure you keep that ankle up for a while, even though you are busy!

Rita, good luck with your job hunt? What kind of job are you looking for?

Eileen, you asked how many days are on the "count down to retirement"? On Monday, 52 days! I am only counting work days, not the weekends.

I've got to get DD ready to go visit my sister and the baby cousin...I'll check back later!

Hope everyone's having a great OCTOBER DAY!!!!

Oops, I just figured it out....there's probably an October thread....okay, I'll go look for it....dang, I do this every month!

Mouse I am looking for almost anything, within 20 miles from my house. I would like a front desk receptionist/clerical, I was taught by the attorney I worked for the 18 months she was a great teacher but I basically just know her office stuff. she is winding down her practice to work for the state doing law guardian for displaced children, so the deal didnt include me OH well. I applied at Lakeland bank as a file clerk. you see life experience is great but I have no college degree and I only reentered the work force 2 years ago after being home for 11 years. also before I styed home I owned my own salon with my ex-husband. my weight and age are a factor why I am not going back to cut hair...

but now that I am in ONEderland my be things will change.

thanks for asking hope I wasnt to long winded

        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
