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

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
