I had a great recipe for dried cranberry cheesecake squares...can't find it; bummer.

Is anyone baking Cookies this year,? I usually eat a bunch while baking, so I think I'll forgo this year...too much if a trigger. I'll just make cashew brittle.

I'm doing my thick sugar cookies decorated with royal icing. Plus the camels and cheesecakes. Will I not touch any? I doubt it. Will I get carried away not at all. I bite and I'm done. I just wish I dumped!!

Happy Wednesday all. Thought I'd share two of my mew favorite things. The granola I add to my yogurt for a little crunch. Low carb and low sugar with 6 gr Protein. The Protein Powder is mocha Cappuccino. I just got it yesterday and it seriously has ZERO protein taste. Kinda like chocolate milk. Yummy. It is super duper cold here and getting colder. Wind chills of -25+ below tonight. I honestly don't know how hockeymumzie does it!

You get used to it. Plus remote start helps with not having to run outside so much!

I am baking cookies this year. They arent a trigger for me but I won't be making my coconut cream cheesecake because that would send me into a tailspin. ;)

Yikes. You have had a tough time. Hope you are feeling better. Recovery is going good. I had some bad leg pain but it is getting better I think. Just seem to have to pain at night but am able to get out of the house now! See the surgeon in early January for the next step which I assume is therapy! ;)

Where are you located, Terry?

Southern RI. Grew up in Newport, then moved to Tiverton when I got married. Not exactly the 'Frozen North'. Being so close to the ocean we usually get rain or a mix when just a few miles to our north they might be getting all snow. But w/less insulation this season I'm really feeling the cold. :-)

        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.

      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
