Yes we will keep threads on vst going always. I am not sure how popular this group thead will be if everyone moves over to the gmail group. We can say things there that nobody can read unless they are in our group.

 

I would suppose that if everyone does not come over, we will still talk about 5:2 in this group.

Heya, OD -- you're in! You've already posted there too! :-) Go check your emails at the address you signed up with and you will see posts in there...

Anyone else? Pretty please??

So far we've now got: cowgirljane, M2G, Cathy UK, feedyoureye, Oregon Daisy, me -- and I've just sent an invite to Sarsar.

Cheri? Brown? coops? Laura-ven? Globetrotter? Georgia? Chimera? Ms Skinniness? Supersweetums? (Am I forgetting anyone???)

Look at all the font-y colour-y love there...

I tried to get in but it didn't work so I sent you another email that I have with my gmail account. I'll try with that one when you add me.

Dee, I went ahead and sent you a message from my gmail.  We'll see if you get that.  

 

How's everyone doing?  I'm doing okay.  WAY up on the scale, THREE pounds since Monday but I suppose it could all be my cycle.  I hope they fall off.  I'll be beyond ticked if I have to lose the same three pounds I lost over the last two weeks again!

 

Shingles stink and I hurt but I'm doing okay.  I have been truly blessed and avoided the rash.  But the nerves are just live in my back and buzzing away.  Though it's not nearly as bad as it was the third day so I hope it's all fading.

 

My birthday is Sunday - I'll be 33, can you believe that?  My five year old told me that it's old, but not as old as her daddy (he's 41) and I gave her a look.  Just wait, kid!  I remember when my mom turned thirty and I made her a grandma at thirty four so  I figure I'm doing alright with my kids!

 

Take care all, I'm off.  Elisheva is on a nap strike (just what I need) and refuses to rest and let mommy have a little cup of coffee and a few minutes of quiet.

I have been playing around with my computer today and uploaded some pics from my phone so I thought I would share a few with you.

The first pic was taken the summer before I had surgery. I had lost 30 pounds in this pic and I was brave enough to let my husband take it while we were out for a bike ride. This picture brings up a lot of emotions. I am so thankful I'm a different person now than I was then! Wow, sometimes I can't believe I walked around looking like that.

The other 2 pictures were taken this summer.

Thanks. Show your pics, too. If I can do it so can you.

Even though I'm not fat anymore I still don't like to get my pic taken. Our daughter lives out of state so she is always asking me to send her a pictures so I take them sometimes. At least I have pictures of myself now...for years you couldn't find one picture of me anywhere, I made sure I was always the one taking the pictures.

When I saw that the group was totally private it gave me courage to put up the bike pic. :)

        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
