Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

For anyone who is interested, we are going to start a 6 week Valentine Day Challenge on Saturday.:laugh:

Weigh yourself on Saturday and decide what your goal will be and then post it here. You don't have to tell me your weight, just how much you want to lose!

Valentine's Day is for Lovers - let's love ourselves this holiday!;)

I would like a piece of the action:rolleyes2:. I think I will be more conservative this time and say 10 pounds for the time frame. I have been so bummed over the past month, and then today I found out the pool won't be completed until February, so no Water aerobics for January:frown: I was so hoping to get that started.

Great pix of the babies, grammas.

Happy New Year!

Love the adorable grandbaby pictures-- such a couple of cutie patooties!! SO CUTE!

Hugs back to Mr. Buster, Mal! Glad to hear your friend was with you on Christmas Eve; I hope he's doing well.

I'd like to jump in on the VD challenge too, please. Put me down for losing the 7 pounds that I found over the last few months, Miss Dee. And thank you for being the statistician. I'm going to try hard not to be a drop out this time around!

My pops moved (short-term, I hope)to a nursing facility this week for some intensive PT, hopefully to get him more mobile. So I'm off to visit him, then back home to cook the traditional New Year's good luck meal.

2009 is going to be the best year ever for all of us -- I can just feel it!!

Happy New Years everybody! Count me in on the VDay challenge. Put me down for -5. These last two months have been awful. This morning I was up 4.7, don't know what I have changed. Hopefully, I will be able to pull this one off.

I'll sign up for 10. So everyone still needs to give me their final weigh in totals for today when they get a chance. I gained another .40. Bleh.

        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
