Hi Girls, Sorry to hear about the job Bron. You just wait, you will show them but good!!!:)

I had a bad day yeaterday. I felt so shakey and weak. A combination of having MS and being on the liquid diet. I am doing well with it , I am a little bit proud of myself .

I am definately getting a boob job down the track. More money to save I guess.

Hi, How do you download a photo for your avatar? Thought you may like to see who you are talking to. Warning it's not a pretty sight!:) :biggrin1: Susannah

Susannah, go to the top of the screen and click on user CP and then on edit Avatar, upload it from in that screen. You might find that the pic needs to be smaller than a particular size (probably 100 pixels) to be used. ihave no idea how to resize pics (hence why my avatar is not a pic of me!)

We could all just post our pics in posts here if you want (although I have already posted some pics on the "before and after pics thread")

Hey Bron, Your pic is really nice. Last night I tried some miso Soup. It was revolting, I nearly hurled. That is one extra that you can have on the Optifast program. Yuk. :) Susannah

haha... best you stay clear of the Soup. Ive put on about 7kg since that photo was taken so my fave is now fuller (sounds better than fatter!!). Plus i had makeup on and thats something i dont do at present due to self esteem and basically a care factor of NIL. Hopefully that will change once im banded.

Susannah... im 20 days younger than you therefore i think i should be banded 20 days after you... so im giving myself the date of 22/2/07. Wonder if the surgeon will agree to that!!!! mmmmmmmmm... maybe not.

Hey, One week to go from tomorrow. I am feeling a bit nervous to be honest.

I am looking forward to losing the weight, and all the doors I hope that will open up for me.

You won't be far behind me Bronnie. Susannah

        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
