Sniffle, cough, sneeze

Six weeks postop, leaving on Saturday for two weeks in Paris, and I have a cold. WAH.

I never get sick. I wanted to lose weight, not my immune system. WAH.

I have too many freaking errands to run today and tomorrow to be still laying in bed at noon. I need a pedicure, for god's sakes! :-) And some mushy food for the plane. And laundry. And innersoles. And, oh yeah, to pack!

My sainted husband ran out to super supplements last night at 8:30 for some hippy natural pills that a friend recommended ... the directions call for taking six capsules every 3-4 hours. If I choke on them say nice things about me, would you?

don't talk to me about pedicures. I need one SO bad I have no nail polish on about an inch at the base! It's hot in Texas and I can't wear sandals until I get one so I'm wearing covered shoes. Ugh.

hey, but at the end of two weeks? PARIS!! It will so be worth the rush right now.

call and see if you are in time to get the post-flu symptom thingy (I sooo forget what it is called). If it is a virus that might help. If it is a cold, fluids and Vitamin C and rest. Hippy pills probably aren't going to help much.

I take airborne. Honestly the best stuff ever! I rarely get sick, but at the first sign of anything I start popping the chewables like a crack addict...lol

Not only does it make me feel better right away, but it gets rid of any cold fast! Good luck! Have a great time in Paris!

Ooo, Airborne, yes! Thanks for the reminder.

Tomorrow I drop the dog at the sitter's, have my 6-week checkin at the surgeon's, get a haircut ... Dude I do not have time to be sick! :-) Yet so far all I've managed today is a load of laundry. The multi-item to-do list is looking daunting.

Wonder if they have Starkist tuna and cheap pedis in Paris ...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
