Tally,

THIS nurse isn't going to lecture you because she is horrible about drinking herself!!!! And if I do, it is iced tea!!!! :thumbup:

I don't get all my liquids either. When are we suppose to drink them? We can't drink before or after meals and we are suppose to sip on Protein shakes! Gross! LOL I find myself living on a cup of coffee in the morning and crystal light the rest of the day. :) Whoops! I am not sure Dr. K would approve. LOL

I am excited. I am going out with Starbucks guy tonight, but I really kind of like comedian guy....:) But I figure what the heck!

Live it up girl! As much as I love being a wife, I sort of miss my dating years. Of course, I was dating back when I was much smaller. If I was dating now I'd probably never go out in public, which means I probably wouldn't be dating very much, LOL!! :mellow::cool2:

You'll be there in spirit, and we'll be thinking of you! :thumbup:

Awww, that is sweet of you. Maybe you can find a little munchkin bobble head or something to be there in place of me. :)

I missed a call from comedian guy while I was with Starbucks guy...I am sad now. :thumbup: I still like comedian guy better.:eek:

Sorry that I haven't been on in a while, just been lurking a little. Lots of family stuff going on.

I put on a pair of jeans this week. If you knew me you would know that I haven't worn jeans in almost 2 years because they were always uncomfortable and finding them in my size is a pain.

I am now fitting into a size 24!!! in JEANS!!!! And no big muffin top!! I was definitely a 26 pushing 28 and getting worse. Since I have been a slower loser this is a big deal for me!!

I desperately need a fill though.

Way to go!!! High five!!!!

OK this board seems to be really struggling as far as slowness goes, so I think I'm gonna get to work and stay off of here for a little while. Would probably do me some good....

PS - 13 days left you guys. CAN YOU FEEL IT BABY????!!!! :smile::lol::tt2::cool2::w00t::thumbup:

I had a hard time with names...we got a morkie (maltese yorkie) about 2 months ago and named her Snickers. I was hoping it would make me never want one, but it didn't work!!!

Got another 1.5 in...I am hoping it works. 15 more to go according to Dr. K's scale. I am guessing I have about 5 lbs in skin off of my stomach (may be wishful thinking) but that would make my goal only 10 pounds away. Hard to believe.

We shall see on Tuesday when I go into the PS consult. Yikes...exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. I am going to the surgeon who repaired Hannah's cleft...I figure he did such good work on her, hopefully he can on me too. As long as insurance pays!

Thats awesome Brandy, good luck with your consult. I go for a fill in a few weeks too. I didn't want to go before the wedding, which was a good choice because I went to pick up my bridesmaid dress from being altered today and it is already too big. If I lift my arms up it falls off the girls!!! So now I have to take it back tomorrow to get altered more.

Jamie-Yes, it has been very slow here lately. We are not nearly as chatty as normal. Wonder why?

      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.
