Pig Pickin



Recommended Posts

We're at a pig pickin with all sorts of wonderful foods and the one thing making me crazy is seeing my son drink a diet Dr pepper....had not even thought about a soft drink in forever until today. Of course I didn't touch it....but it looked sooo good.

From the south and never been to a pig pickin....I thought these were just a staple for southerners!!! I'm in NC. Its where the whole pig is cooked in a pit like grill...and then its cut up, chopped, ribs, etc....all for the eating. Of course there is always plenty of other food too to go along with the pig....here's a pic.

The BBQ was wonderful with no sauce on it at all....that's how I ate it...very good....though I was drooling over that diet Dr pepper!!

I'd love to get together sometime....it would be so nice to have some REAL time with other people going through the same things as I am right now. Bekki - when was/is your surgery?

Oh I sure will!! I'm actually trying to keep myself busy as I called my insurance and they said it's in review as we speak and your doctor's office should get a fax by the end of the day!! I'm praying for surgery with Dr. Pirrello @ Southeast Bariatrics. His office is in Matthews.

      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
