My husband and I both love the panhandle. Too funny. :)

We both work for mayo Clinic and have for 20 years so likely not going anywhere. Lol.

Awesome.

I kinda played hooky today. I didn't really have anything to do at work so I didn't go and I kept my son home. Have been counting my blessings after a day of watching Netflix documentaries..always good to see something alot worse so u know just how much u do have good :) trying to be positive and waiting for the hubby to come back home hoping for any news.

Took my son to get some yogurt and was super nice. Took the chance to go also and get some more Vitamins. At Walgreens they now have diff Vitamins and also fish oil in "pearl" form. Alot easier to swallow that the big traditional fish oil. It's hot today so gonna couch surf for awhile til time to cook dinner.

I have followed my doctor's order to a t as well. However I was told that I needed to be getting about 60g-65g of Protein in and just this past week I've been getting in at least 75g and I have actually lost more weight. Im not sure what you've been told by your Nut but maybe uping your Protein might help.

Good storm is great too but when you have to head for a shelter twice and not used to this crap I get a little to anxious. I love a good thunder and lighting storm. But funnel clouds hell no. If I wanted till live in tornado alley I'd move to Kansas lol :)

Ya ive never seen a funnel cloud so they make me alittle nervous too. Weve been lucky this year so far. Havent been in the basement once yet. Every time they say it will storm, it bypasses us.

        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
