Took three flexerel thirty mins ago....still nada. Besides deep anesthesia, profofol knocks me out nicely. But after any anesthesia I'm wide awake for days. Night all its breaking dawn part one time. :)

So I had some news from one of my dear friends...she is expecting. I am happy for her but I won't lie and say a part of me is envious and I even got teary. My last miscarriage was 3yrs ago which is what pushed my weight gain way over the edge. I know I have to wait awhile before even allowing myself to think about pregnancy and I will be 33 in a few days so...I know the risks will only get higher. I'm trying to think of how I'm using this yr to work on me and then can go from there. I went fabric shopping today after work and picked out some cute cheerful fabric to

start working on a baby quilt. Trying to count my blessings. My sweet only child will be 10 on Sunday and he is truly my blessing. Every year i think how blessed I am to have that tiny preemie baby healthy & happy with me.

So...goals for July...(1) lose 10lb (2) start running again (3) rock my 33rd bday

Thanks for letting me vent!

My tiny preemie twins are going t be 25! They're huge. ! Along with my six foot five sixteen year old!

Omg that gives me hope. My little man is still tiny for his age. He is strong as can be and is nothing much muscle but still a little bit. He still comes and sits in my lap and still wants to be tucked in every night. Love that boy so much. He comes home Sat from his daddy's.

Had my 3 month with the dietician today. I've officially lost 40% of my excess weight! That felt good to hear even though the loss has been SO SLOW for me.

Had my 3 month follow up today! Super positive! CW is 242.6. Loss since surgery that is 54 lbs. waist is down 10 inches! And BMI is down as well! Looking at the numbers I am totally shocked and excited! My doctor says I am exactly where I need to be in weight loss! They want patients 3 months out to be 25-30% down to their goal and I am killing it! I love my weight management doctor! He is so sweet and positive!

Thanks for letting me share!

I never thought I'd say it but I don't miss sweets so much either it's all too sweet for me. Even fruit tastes extremely sweet to me. I use to love chocolate too and now can't stand the idea of it! So weird but nice at the same time:)

I dont eithdr and I was a huge chocolate lover. Now sometimes a yogurt is too sweet. I love it.

If u were nearby I'd say lets have a party on the 10th celebrating a brand new start to life for u and Celebrate a wonderful accomplishment of 22 years of awesome work. U truly do inspire me. As for crafty.. Some women do shoes..I do fabric and craft stores...my husband isn't sure which would be worse :)

I wish all of you were closer. We could do lunch; buy one meal and all split it! ;) No seriously, it would be nice to have you guys closer so we could get together.

        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
