I am November 12. Today I bought vanilla and chocolate Protein Shakes from costco and a bag of chewable Calcium. I am trying to do two shakes a day and one regular meal just to start training my brain. I found a lot of clothes in my closets that may fit in twenty pounds and hung them up. I take turns being really excited and really scared. There's not a word for excited and scared. Maybe "scacited" would work! How about you?

That's a good plan. Try to do a little walking too, if you don't regularly exercise.

I recently got back from a two week tour of Italy. I probably walked a good five miles a day. Lots of steps and hilly terrain. When I got back, I helped my daughter load and unload a moving van. She took a new job as an ICU nurse in a city a few hous away. I got to drive the truck!!! At 4'11'' getting in the truck was a challange, but driving it was so much fun.

This week I am taking it easy, just trying to play catch up at home. Back to the gym next week.

I teach elementary English as a Second Language...my students are K5ers to 2nd graders and vary in languages. I am also the color guard advisor for the HS marching band and indoor guard and I direct the High School musical, we are doing Barnum this year and I just got back from auditions (I moved auditions up from Nov to Oct so I could recover with one less thing to worry about as practice starts in Jan). What did you teach

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
