So..you guys have any big plans for this week? I just enrolled online for the local college and decided gonna take some more classes to start trying towards the next step. That is if I can get all my financial aid worked out! Any good weight loss? I haven't weighed prob a week? Can't remember. Hope I didn't put any on with being out from home a bit.

You are so right too about confidence..I have suffered from terrible low self esteem

For a long time and even to the point where I didn't like myself enough to even think I was worth it. That is truly one of the biggest thins I'm liking..that shred of confidence I feel myself gaining.

I was dojng online schooling for medical assistant and I loved it! I only have 2 classes left but stopped because my back got so bad and clinicals were coming up. :( now im not sure if thats what I want to do.

My week is gonna consist of entertaining my mom in law and getting ready for the party this weekend. Daughters grad party on Saturday and baby shower on sunday for niece and her twins. Thought we'd do them at same time since I'll have the tent up and tables and chairs rented. If we ever even get the tent up. Rained yesterday when i had the help and supposed to rain this afternoon. My husband and son work seperate shifts and its so hard to get them awake at the same time! ;)

I was 250 this am! Down 53 form 4-22 surgery and 90 all together! Weighed less than hubby for first time in long time! Am loving it.

Foot is still swollen; went to urgent care and they didnt see a fracture. Am to go to orthopedist if swelli g continues. Such is my life!

Well, I am trying to kick myself in gear to get ready for my first day of school! We(teachers) go back on Friday. The kids will be back on the 26th. I am excited but I know this will be a tough year again with all the budget cuts. So, I'm going to take one last mini vacay this week, to visit my parents. My mom just retired and she's moving to NC from Maryland. My dad retired last year and they will be living in the same county for the first time in almost twenty years. It's going to be interesting!

Enjoy your last little getaway! You are a saint being a teacher. I couldnt stand being in a room with someone else children all day! It takes special people to be teachers and cna's!

Hope u have some fun! I certainly applause u cause I know I could never manage kiddos like that. Teachers are amazing. I'm sure they would have me duct taped to the wall before the 1st week!!!!

So I was busy and cleaned house and worked in my garden getting ready for fall planting and cleaned out my front flower bed. I'm severely already feeling like my back is gonna fall apart. I did however sit awhile after supper and finished another quilt. Not really my favorite one but its for my neighbor and is a sweet gesture I suppose.

Glad this experience is better for you! I totally get what you mean with weight loss. I am down 53 from 4-22 surgery and while I am happy with that, I was really wishing for more and faster. But in the end, I will take whatever I can get! ;) I am sooooo glad I dont get sick on milk because I drink it everyday with my shakes. That was one thing I was worried about preop.

        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
