Lap - I loved the Hanukkah greeting. Thank you. ;)

Mal - The computer virus thing isn't a joke. It comes from the kids downloading music on various free websites. No there wasn't a positive response for tonight, so we are just going to go with the 13th so VA Bandster can come too. Hope the weather will be good, I miss you guys. :clap2:

All the Newbies - :gluck:best wishes on surgeries accomplished and surgery dates that are coming up. Please join us at Red Robin ;):car: if you are local as soon as possible. It is wonderful to have a thriving support group.

So glad the medical community has decided that being in shape :heh: is more important than being at the perfect weight as you age. (On ABC's national news tonight)

Hugs all,

Michelle

Michelle,

Sorry about RR tonight! I had really wanted to go, I should have PM'd you sooner! I'll explain everything when I see you guys next Thursday!!!

Does anyone know what time Munchkin's surgery is tomorrow? Did she find a ride from the hospital back to the hotel? AND which site is she having her surgery? Parker or Aurora?

Poor girl she's here by herself!

Dee, Good to see you posting -- I've been thinking of you! I don't know if Munchkin ever mentioned which surgery center. I hope she's doing ok and will post soon. I've got a strong feeling that she'll deal with just about anything that comes her way without too much problem -- She's an ICU nurse/paramedic, with a cast, her first surgery was cancelled, her flight was cancelled, she's guttsy enough to come to CO alone and with a smile -- I mean, day-um!, I'd say she's one strong-willed, self-reliant woman!!!! She rocks!!

Thanks Shelbi,

I know Munchkin is an adult and she's perfectly capable, but the "Mommy" in me is worried about her. She's going to have some trouble with the surgicenter if they find out that she's taking a taxi back to the hotel. They made me sign a form saying that someone was picking me up and would be caring for me at home for 24 hrs afterwards.

I am able to pick her up from the hospital and make sure she has some liquids for the night and tomorrow. I don't want her to suffer alone!

ARGH! That silly girl!

She's so brave, she could teach me a lesson!

p.s. I got a new date for surgery, January 7th @ 9am.

Dee - so happy to see you are still with us. I hope your surgery goes perfectly as you have been through it with this crazy stuff. See you on the 13th.

ABC news last night stated that being physically active is a much better indicator of a long life. Get it moving out there! It isn't about the scale or the numbers, it is about the way we MOVE it! That research followed thousands of people and came up with those results. Makes the scale not so important.

Waiting impatiently for skinny here in Denver.

Hugs,

Michelle

Thanks Michelle! I'm glad to be with you all! I'll explain everything at RR. I'm hoping things work out well on the 7th of Jan too! I saw that same story about being active and healthy over being skinny!

Munchkin is so cute! She just called me and I'll be going to pick her up after her surgery! She's bubbly and just adorable! I'm excited to get to meet her in person!

Good thoughts for Munchkin @ 1230!

I don't have 6 mos. info on myself, but I am 3 months out and down about 32 lbs. It seems to vary with everyone, though!

Hey Guys!

I met Munchkin and she's just as adorable in person as she is on the phone and here online.

She's resting at her hotel tonight and I hope sleeping like a brand new baby girl.

Munchkin, if you read this in the morning, I hope your trip home is easy and gentle on your tummy. Write us when you get home -- I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Hey Missmon, you got your BMI under 60!!! That's GREAT!

Hugs Sweeties!

      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.
