All,

I do enjoy writing, being a social science analyst for the last 5 years has given me the opportunity to use my words. I do have some ideas for writing fiction and have begun some stories but that takes concerted time where all you have to do is write. I am aware of Montel Williams, I hate to sound bitter but, like Magic Johnson doing so well with HIV, it's *amazing* what having money can do for your disease ...

food today, flaxseed, Protein Shake, salad, Vitamins, tea, green drink, a Quest bar (for the fiber) and whatever Protein I can find, probably some leftover steak. Or I may not bother with the salad etc. and just dump all my veggies into my kettle and make Soup. They have a savory snack out here, rock hard balls of dried goat cheese. Seriously, you have to smash them with a hammer, but if you pulverize them I've heard they are great in soup so maybe I'll add that.

CGJane, I highly suggest you get yourself a sedentary hobby that isn't eating. Just like a smoker who is trying to quit, I have to have something to do with my hands. So from 6pm till bedtime I am sewing, sketching, painting, journaling, gotta keep those hands busy. And meditating, truly focusing on meditating can really help fight the urge to eat, and better then fight it, understand it, acknowledge it, respect it, and move on.

Goat cheese bricks... the Tibetans eat a version those too, made from Nak milk (the Yak is the male)... they take them with when they cross the Himalaya on foot! You can buy them strung on Yak hair. Theres a rural snack for ya! They suck on them.

Sounds like it might be good in soup!

FYE it sounds like this sight is going to get more complicated now. I like it being specific to one wls. Now there's going to be 3? Maybe even more.....I really do hate change though...

Today I'm fasting and gonna get back on track. Yesterday I had a bit of an anger going on and bought some of those nachos, cheese, and jalapenos with a latte. Got some mini reese's bits. Didn't eat hardly any of them and ended up with a stomach ache. The things I do to myself......Gotta get in charge of my emotional eating.....So today is a new day and it's time to clean the refrigerator and cupboards out. I do know that I've been feeling distant from everyone lately and after watching the you tube by Dr. Wahl's, I will be revamping my diet. I had a bit of depression going on so perhaps I need more greens and veggies in my diet.....

Allen is coming to get his stuff soon. I am going to go and hide at my daughters for awhile. I can't believe how much this sucks, even though I know it's for the best.

Yesterday morning I talked to him on the phone and I was a mess all day. He called about arranging a time to get his stuff. I hope he can get it all in one day so I don't have to talk to him again.

I had no appetite yesterday. My food for the day was a bag of m & m peanuts and a Quest bar.

It should be really easy to fast this week.

Globe, thanks for checking in...been thinking about you. A really good friend of mine and my husbands had MS. He was killed in a hit and run while he was riding his recumbent bike 2 years ago. When I hear of others who suffer from MS it hits home. He used his recumbent bike for exercise and he and his wife would ride all over the place. He lived a good life and was taken way too early.

OD, I'm sorry. I don't know really what to say. Just glad you are here sharing all of this with us. When is that grand baby of yours going to be born? I always say that babies make people happy. :) Make sure you are drinking a lot if you aren't eating. At least stay hydrated.

Skinny, sorry you are having a rough time. Hang in there.

Today is a fast day for me. I had the munchies this weekend. I didn't eat terrible but not great either.

I hope there are some in this group who don't suffer from SAD in the winter months. If not, we are all going to be one unhappy group for the next couple of months...lol

I hope a lot doesn't change in this site. I hate changes and having to figure out how to get around when things are changed on the computer. Technology can be so good but with the good comes the bad in that things are always being updated. Oh well.

Have a good Monday, Ladies.

Been there. Done that. I had a cupcake and humongous cookie over the wknd but really walked and came home and cycled 15 miles so I managed (so far) to hold my low. Got to. Leave for 7 day cruise Friday. And like you. Blink.

        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
