Angela, didn't you say you bought a new scale?? So are you sure you are comparing your current weight with the same scale you started with? It has been my experience that no scale weighs you the same.... at least that sounds good, anyway!! :biggrin1:

I wouldn't worry, especially with all the hiking you have been doing... you are probably building muscle!!

P.S. Did you ever catch that cold you were worrying about???

I took lots oc vit C and Airborne and I feel fine! :clap2: I weighed myself on what I think is the same scale at work...but maybe it was a diff. one...they all look alike! I will go by the one I bought and see teh change on that one only! The new one says 220-221, the hospital one that had said 220 the other day said 226.7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sick

Since I will not be having Thanksgiving dinner either, I thought I would get my dear mom to freeze some dressing and giblet grave for when I can have some. I love mom's dressing. Good luck to us all. Finer and thinner here we come.

I just noticed that when I am writing in a hurry i have lots of typo's!:embarassed: Well... I am sure you can still figure out what I am trying to say huh?

No Thanksgiving dinner for me either! I might try to make a little turkey Soup, and a bit of cranberry sauce as dessert... I plan to work that day, but you know...in hospitals there is ALWAYS food!!!:)

Good luck to everyone!!! I leave Sunday for MX.... :(

Chris, thanks again for doing all this stuff.... now you are even simplifying the list to make it even easier to spot who is going when.... You are wonderful!

Angela, I thought you said you were leaving for S.D. on Friday.... are you staying there for a couple of days before you go to Mexico?

Melany and Frogger---- are you there?? Good luck tomorrow!!!

I gotta get back to work now, but hope you are all having a sugar-free (but fun) Halloween!!!

Hi,

I am going Sunday and my surgery is Tuesday the 7th...in Mexicali. I hope my San Francisco clothes will be fine down there... it might be much warmer there than I am thinking. :)

Count me in-- I am scheduled for Nov. 11. I am doing the pre-op diet and so far making it fine. But I know I am going to need plenty of support!:clap2:

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
