gloharmar, I see it is tomorrow. Good luck and prayers are with you. The best advice I got....... get up and walk as soon as possible after you wake. As soon as possible. And keep walking as much as you can stand it. Even after you get home, walk. The more you move, the faster the gas will go away! Drink your Water, sip, sip, sip, walk, walk,walk. Tomorrow is the begining of a new life. You can do this. Just remember that! And if you have questions, ask! OK??

Again, good luck and let us know how you are when you are able!

Yes, it's tomorrow and I'm happy and scared at the same time. If I could get pass the needle (IV), I'd be on cloud 9. I have gained so much knowledge from you all. Thanks so much. I'm still working on the "ticker", LOL.

Oops, forgot to update y'all. Went to LB and tried on clothes and I'm down 3 1/2 sizes all over. When I get the other 1/2 off, I'll be smaller than when I met my hubby. I guess maybe I am losing inches. I didn't know that happens when your weight loss slows down. THanks, that helps!

Hi to all!

Way to go lo2us! I bet not any of your clothes fit. My are nearly falling off. I have to go to my smaller sizes now. I will love to lose all this weight and get rid of the big clothes instead of storing them, incase i need then again. I bet all of you know what i am talking about.

Lynn, how is school? How are you?

Sugarbear, hope you are having fun out there!

Gloharmar, good luck! You will be fine! Post as soon as you can to tell us how you are.

Liasa g and hippmom you two are too funny. I hate the slim thing so bad, it look and feels like snot. lol

Like i have said and still will say, YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

Hello ladies...just a quick note while I am at school and my internet runs faster here than it does at home...

Loving my job so far...these big kids are little kids in disguise...they are older but still soooo elementary...

Doing okay with my loss...still working and trying to work hard on doing better about eating at school...Everyone is amazed at how much I have lost...One colleague told me today I was a shadow of my former self...Feels good for people to brag on you...but I am not very good at taking compliments...I usually don't quite know how to take them...I guess I will learn...

Talk to you again soon...

Hi Glo. Hope you are doing well. alk and move as much as you can. Walk up and down your driveway if nothing else, just keep moving. Drink your broth, Water, ect. You might even want to use a heating pad. It was a confort to many of us. Keep us posted.

Lo2us, congrats on the size change!! Keep going!!

Lynn, glad it is going good at school. You may enjoy this change more than you thought.

Just checking in on you guys. I have to go now, off to a ball game. Can't be late! I will be home tomorrow evening. Take care everyone.

Susan, I saw that! At least you are talking bout something GOOD! lol

Morning everyone.

Way to to Shannon, I'll bet you are shopping for a new wardrobe for school, aren't you?

Lynn..... a "smaller" shadow of your former self. Makes you feel good, don't it? Just say thank you and be done with it. (then you can blush when you get around the corner. lol)

Glo, how are you this morning? Are you walking alot? Drinking your Water? That's important.....

We took the little man to six flags yesterday. I have one word for it. HOT! and being the dare devil that I am, I had to ride as many rides as he did. His Dad took him on the Water rides. (I don't like squishy shoes) I took him on most all the rest. There were some rides he did on his own. The lines were not very long and we just watched to make sure he got on and off the rides. I know.... he's seven, but you don't know what kind of sicko's are our there. Anyway, twisted my knee somehow. I think it was on the roller coaster. It was right after we rode the last one that it started hurting. Very stiff and throbbing this morning. I guess exercise is out for a few days. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to slow down. I keep getting this..."You are too old for that!" I guess they are right. lol Hurt my back on the trampoline the other day. Wimped around for three or four days after that. I hate getting old. lol Hush, Susan.

I better get off. Yall have a good day.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
