Its only 1145 on the West Coast but I've been laying here for a couple of hours and can't fall asleep either.

I think I'm getting sick. I just took some dayquil ...cuz i couldn't find Tylenol or nyquil....and then i search on here and see that a lot of people say dayquil is a No No...great.

I got on the scales today and I've regained again. Tomorrow I'm gonna seek out a gym. I'm gonna make some calls today and the friends I think would be interested with me..gonna try to them to go with me. Keep me accountable. Prob gonna do all liquids and yogurt today. I will get my butt back in gear! I am really frustrated! It's pretty scary that I'm not losing but I'm gaining. I need to up my ante a bit. In the office today waiting for admissions to our hospice so I'm damn sure gonna shut my door and start exercising. Gotta make use of all my time. Any recommendations!?

Maybe only weigh yourself once a week?? We all go up and down but dont stress. Getting in gear cant hurt, but dont let it get you down my friend!

Just got off from work. Dam my back is killing me. For those of you using Flax seeds how much do you use per day. Enemas and nitrile gloves are becoming my friends and I want to break up the friendship!!

You are too funny! That is a friendship none of us want! ;) have u tried the Miralax? ? A double dose and im pooping all day long! Unfortunately my epidurals are wearing off and im hurting today too. They lasted a month so I guess I cant complain. See the spine surgeon on Wednesday.

I was doing miralax but obviously it was not working. I stopped using it after two weeks of it not working. I was taking double doses too.

Ok so I took some pics tonight after my mini melt down. This is some of the hair I've lost today. This was just tonight from my shower.

Hair lost from washing my hair

Just brushing my hair afterwards

This is only a fraction I lose. Is this more than normal? Idk. I just now my hair looks alot thinner.

        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
