Yeah, I'm quite organised this year. Today I need to take the kids down to the shops as Fraser is getting some And1 basketball shoes, so I need him with me, and I need to nick out alone at some point in time and buy them some swimming pool passes - we've given both boys four movie passes each and I'll get four pool passes and I got some tickets for Luna Park for them too (amusement park in Melbourne). Its summer here and they're off school for six weeks or so so we'll need something to do over the long holiday, as we're only going away for a week.

We're going to SIL's and my sis's for Christmas Eve and Christmas day respectively so apart from make my super special Christmas Ice cream and brandied fruit thingo, I dont have to do anything - no cleaning or cooking. YAY!

But I have to outlast the little buggers on Christmas Eve, Eliza is only little, but the boys know that Santa is really mum and dad and they will be staying awake to catch us out, I'll probably be up till 4am before they drop off!

I'm as ready as I ever will be - it sort of snuck up on me this year and the kids are older (but the youngest - 8 still believes) It's been hard to keep it a secret but an e-mail received from Santa's village with personal tidbits did the trick. Keeping the little ones busy for that long will certainly be a challenge but it sounds like you have a plan. Good luck and have a great holiday. Merry Christmas.

        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!

      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
