Nooooo. This has not felt like a break for me b/c of MIL dying. She was mostly comatose from Christmas week and she passed yesterday. Funeral this week. I am looking forward to February break, to say the least.

So sorry for your loss. It is a very difficult thing to go though, even when you know it is best for them. Make sure to make some time for yourself this week. Easy to say, but very hard to do. Even more important for us when we are on this journey.

On another note, I work in the district office of a school district. No school in Minnesota - too cold. Tomorrow morning we will wake up to temps about -25 with wind chills at about -50. I don't plan to so much as stick my nose out the door.

RJ, sorry about your Eagles. At my house we were hoping for a win! As Viking fans we really dislike the Saints!

Thanks :-) But all in all a great season. Very impressed with Chip Kelly, no pratical NFL head coaching experience and he was able to rally this team to a respectible season.he has a core team that is behind him. And while Eagle fans are some of the toughest in the country he was able to win us over.

As we say here every year ......there is always next season :-)

E.A.G.L.E.S. .....Eagles!!!!

time to switch my cap... Bring on the Fightin' Phils...........play ball!!

Go in for my six month follow up tomorrow morning. Ever feel like the universe is against you? Well, I have come down with a HORRIBLE cold, so I really have no desire to get myself moving. The HIGH temp today was about -15, so taking a walk outside is out of the question. Tomorrow morning the temp is going to be about -20. If the car starts and I get there, my weight is going to be just short of my goal. I wanted to be down 150 pounds. I am at 148, almost, but not quite! I am proud of what I have done, but I wish I could have had the two pounds!

I had my six month follow up today. My dr was really pleased with my progress and said I am doing great. It really re energized me to keep pushing and get to goal. He said I could lose another 20 lbs but I still want to try for 40. Secretly id be thrilled with 20 because that would be low 140s. Everything else went great. Yay!!!

CONGRATS!! You have earned it!

I am only 2 lbs away from what my doc thought I would bottom out at. I would like another 30 - 40. I am just going to keep on doing what I am going and see what happens. I have high hopes for a good visit in the morning too.

Well good-luck to everyone above and they way it sounds you have been doing fantastic so far! Remember it's not a race, as much as it is a life time commitment, I'm aiming on 240 lbs, weighed out today at 274.4. Thats 136.6lbs of loss, at 6'6 I'm hearing now that i look great now not to lose no more but let's see how it goes.

        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
