Hi Susan and everyone else! How is everyone today? Me? I still feel horrible. But, I am still alive. I guess that's a good thing, right? Yesterday, I got really excited. I haven't weighed in a few days and when I got on the scales, I had lost a couple of pounds. Now, I know I'm not supposed to weigh everyday, but I did this morning and my couple of pounds are back and they brought a couple of their friends. I am getting sooooo frustrated! It seems that when I loose five pounds, it comes back. I know monthly things happen, but I have been loosing this five pounds since before my last fill in March. Gain and loose, gain and loose. If you add them all together, I have lost 50 pounds, not 33. Ok, I not going to get everybody down with my stuff, so...... the end.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Lisa,

I've been doing the exact same thing! I'm trying to lose as much as I can before surgery by following the liquid diet (not to mention getting in the mind-set to change the way I think about food), but I have those gosh darned 5lbs coming back every other week! We must be trading them back and forth!

You keep them! I don't want them anymore!!! When you get tired of those 5 pounds, send them to some skinny person. That way, I know I won't get them. lol

I'm glad you found somewhere to finance your band. You won't regret it. Just remember, you have to be patient. It's not a race anyway. It's just you doing what you know is best for yourself. Have you set a date yet?

I talked to Ms. Betty this morning and I'm going in for my nutrion evaluation, etc. on April 30th. We're shooting for the 1st week of June when school lets out.

I'm sure you can. When I made my first appointment, I saw Dr. H. But, Dr. K. has done all my fills. Speaking of which, I have an appointment on the 30th at 9:15. When is yours? It would be cool to put a face with the writing. I like to see who is sending messages, know what I mean? I know Susan. Will you be going to the Texarkana, Mt. Pleasant, or Idabel meetings? I know someone that goes to Idabel too, but she musta got too skinny and blowed away. (Sorry, I don't use proper English. lol) She is like everyone else, busy, busy, busy. Where's Genia?

WHERE ARE YOU SUSAN??

Sorry to get off the subject. I think they both see you. Both are in OR when you have the surgery. Which ever Dr you pick, the other is assisting. I think that is really good. Both know what is going on if you ever have trouble.

Well, after I posted that question, I got a call from school. Seems like my little guy was not feeling well. Took him in yesterday afternoon and he has the flu. I guess he got it from me, I was dead last week. I didn't get home from the dr's office until around 6:30, so I couldn't have gone anyway. I hope I don't get in trouble. I was looking forward to it. I have really enjoyed the meetings I have been to so far.

Talk to ya later, k?

        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
