Mmm that sounds good but the sugar content doesn't make you dump.

I'm trying not to freak out right now. My boyfriend works midnights and is asleep. My mom was suppose to be here 2 hours ago to pick my son and I up. He's awake now and in a crib. I can't even get him out or change him. My boyfriend is already pissed at me because he quote "has to do everything", so I don't want to wake him up. I texted her and she never got back to me.

Giggles good luck!!!

Amanda just blow her phone up And see if she answers. Or is there anyone else you can call. Boyfriend needs to be prescribed a chill pill. You're recovering. It's going to be a tough few weeks. He should be on board.

How much does your son weigh? I've been picking my kids up(only when necessary) since a few days out from surgery. They're only 24 & 28 lbs though. I'm 9 days out now and am back to taking care of both kids completely....but if I had a boyfriend, I would be expecting him to do it all for at least the first week and then continue to do the lifting for the next week. Us moms 'do it all' most/all of the time anyways!

He's about 25 pounds. I don't think I could pick him up without hurting myself because he is very squirmy. I do all that I can as it is. I still do the dishes sweep cook for the both of them feed our child..pick up toys etc. Id do the laundry if it wasn't in the basement. I can't believe she would flake like that.

Maybe something came up? That's awful that she didn't at least call :(

Amanda, you might need to tell your boyfriend to go f himself. Im sorry but that makes me so mad. If my guy or anyone told me that right now, after what we have been through, I would just go off. Amanda I struggle with pain all day and I can't even bend over or take a big drink in one gulp without causing more. I know you are in the same boat and you deserve more! That man should be giving you foot massages and making you tasty shakes. Boohoo he has to work, men think that that alone excludes them from participating in the rest of their life. If he wants to be around for the future sexier you, then he needs to contribute. I go to school and work and when my mom broke her knee and I went to live with her to take care of her, I woke up several times a night to take her to the restroom and get her pain meds. These boys need to learn how to grow up. I am also speaking personally as my grandpa does this to my grandma and ut makes me go insane. Be strong girl and just do what feels right for you, but know that you deserve better support!

        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
