Got home late last night. Was gone for 9 days taking care of my oldest after her knee surgery. Had the MRI on my hands and wrists. The RA wanted it done because of pain I'm having. Its either my arthritis' date=' or carpal tunnel in my opinion. For those of use with bad backs with hard ware it fricken hurts lying on the stomach period. But had a nice surprise. Lost six pounds while I was gone. :)

I went and got a few diff ones before I bought. I turned out not liking some. Quest are a bit more pricy than some but good. Glad I didn't buy a box of them before tried.

The only one I tasted was the coconut cashew, it wasn't too sweet. I got a variety pack from Amazon with 12 flavors so I can see which ones agree with me.

I am done 68#. I am in a stall. I don't want to and don't eat. This husband with a girlfriend makes me not care if I eat or drink. I have this weird taste in my mouth.

My hair is falling out.

You need to eat and drink. Or your going to end up in the er. I've been there with a cheating drunk. But when I finally was able to leave him he got what he deserved. Then he started to stalk me when I was out with the new boyfriend. When I got married that sent him over the edge.

        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
