Help! I'm going to Phoenix in 11 days..very impulsively, to see old friends and hopefully heal from the last brutal month or so... I need help knowing what to take supplement wise..how do I transport Protein Powder? Also no clothes and I can't find summer clothes here yet.. Shop out there? I'm also afraid to reveal how weird my eating habits are....I can't impose and ask for special food, should I offer to pay for a grocery run? Girls, I have been in a fog for the last month..feeling overwhelmed by going.

I think it will so good for you my friend! A chance to get away and just do you and not worry about anything! Wish I could go too. ;) If I were you, I would just hit up a Walmart there and buy Protein and other things you can eat once there. Then you don't have to worry about taking it or your host worrying about anything special. I have never flown so don't know how to pack at all. Buying clothes there would be so nice too! Have a fun and safe trip!♥

Hope u have loads of fun! I'd do like Dori suggested. I usually have to do that with all the travels I've been doing.

Thanks, guys...yeah, that's better than stressing about it. This will definitely be the easiest trip I've ever packed for... I guess I'll travel like I did when I was 18 and moved ti Colorado with one suitcase. I'd feel better if i had at least one pair of shorts lol.

Glad you are moving in the right direction. Hope it continues! ;) Hugs! Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. He didn't tell you what to do or anything? Here is a link that explains it. Hope it helps.

That's low blood sugar from not eating....you probably feel seriously terrible from it..get some dietary guidelines from your nut. juice helps a lot for this. Have you found a new surgeon yet?

Happy Sunday all. Went out last night to Celebrate parents 40th Anniversary. Took lots of family pictures so I thought I'd show the difference. I'm so used to being the biggest sister but now I feel normal. And it feels good! I'm the one on the left in both pictures!

Dori, you look amazing, girl!

Snowed in again! I'm making a pot of chili. Did oven fried chicken last night, but only ate a little with some steamed broccoli. Cannot stay in, I'm gonna go crazy! I'm used to being out and about, running around. Last nite, my body shut down and I slept for almost 10 hours! Up today, decided to clean out the kitchen cabinets. Round 2 of the snowstorm just started, so looks like we're in for a couple more days! I guess I'll prepare my tax stuff.

        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
