Ok this is a strange one. I have a speaker in my car that is blown and has been for awhile. It's in my center console. Up until now my butt muffled it so I couldn't hear it as much but now its the only thing I hear. So yea!! that I can hear it but boooo!! that I now have to buy a new speaker. Whatever tho' date=' I'll spend 50 on a new speaker and be skinny. Lol.[/quote']

:D oh how funny!!!

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 204.6

Today I had the experience of having to park very close to another car. I thought "I'm never going to make it out of my car door". And yet, to my surprise, even though the door only opened A foot or so, I was able to slip out quite easily!

By way way, up until the stroke, I walked all over, even up tons of stairs. The five songs I did get to see were sublime!

After a multitude of tests, they found the events ( i had 2) were transient. Now on blood thinners and should be fine. Was scary, though....slurred speech, confusion,inabilty to speak. And I missed the shhow. My son stayed( i insisted) and he said the concert was awesome!

Yesterday while grocery shopping I saw an old friend from high school. Before I would usually duck and hide so they wouldn't see how much weight I had gained after high school. Yesterday I actually felt proud of myself and decided to say hi. It was so nice. We caught up for a few then I bumped into someone else!! It felt good not to be ashamed.

I am going to my 20th ha reunion tonight! Although I am still about 50 lbs heavier than I was in hs, I am still much more confident in this body than in one that weighed 86 lbs more just months ago. It really is such a great feeling, be proud girl!!

So glad you are ok! A friend of mine had a mini stroke right after here surgery.. She was down about 70lbs or so and her doctor said she probably wouldn't have been with us if she hasn't taken off all that weight prior to the stroke. Praise The Lord for his perfect timing (even with the bad stuff).

      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
