Recommended Posts

I spent mine going from room to room looking out the windows from my second story home ,thinking its such a cool nice day for a group of friend having fun......, then reality hits me quarter in the face!!!! Lets get real here ,same people ,same music ,same food ,same drunks, over eating, over drinking ,pretending to enjoy myself when I just want to have a Normal day without the chaos and mayhem,so I decide ( I ain't got time for that) lol called and graciously cancel saying I have a new least on life and it does contain drama and the things that go along with it ! I stayed upstairs. ,cause my lovely husband forgot to wake me up so we could tackle those stairs together, it's om I look outside to the backyard and moved slowly to the bedroom views of the front and side yard ,not bad it's serene, peacefully and just what I needed . I eat some applesauce and some cottage cheese no hungry at all but I know I need to put food in my body need more fluids also. I guess that will come later I think I'm four days post op May 24th was the date of surgery I didn't take any pain meds, not that I don't have pain ,but because it knocks me out!! I need to be up walking. I have this awful pain on the left side ,that's the only place it hurts ,and when I say hurt I'm not fu88 ing around it hurts so much but not all the time ,go figure. The one time I miss since the surgery ... No not food I could care less about that , no it's my Maltese I can't let them on my lap and its killing me and them ,they are so sad and just sleeps on the couch there i use to sit they won't eat just looks up at me on the second floor ;( so that's how I spent my Memorial Day

You have such a beautiful home!

My surgery was also on May 24th. Pay attention to the pain and talk with your surgical team if it persists. It's better to ask about the pain than ignore it.

I have two cats that wanted to climb up on me all day yesterday when I got home. They seem very forlorn that they can't sit on me right now. You sound like I do right now, a bit sad. I've been up and walking around all day today just to keep myself busy. I feel almost stuck in my house. I'm going to go for a walk outside in a bit and hope that it perks me up a little bit.

Things will get better, and before you know it you'll be able to have them on your lap!

I live outside of Portland, OR. It's been rainy for the past week which is normal this time of year. But it's reflecting my mood. Hopefully the sun will come out soon.

Let us know how it goes with the doctor.

Weather was crappy here in southern New England too. Only in the low fifties with rain Saturday, upper fifties with rain Sunday, and - glory hallelujah - sunny and seventies today!

I spent most of my weekend cleaning like a mad woman to prepare for my surgery Thursday. Bag's packed and I'm ready to go! :-)

God bless our veterans, past and present, and our active military!!!! Stay safe!

I spent mine at a friend's house having a BBQ. Everyone was eating chicken and ribs that looked and smelled wonderful. But I put tofu on the grill and had a salad. Good times though.

      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
