Hey everyone I have become addicted to this sight. I cant wait to get on the computer everyday and see whats going on with everyone. I am going to go thru withdrawal for most of the month of September because of my painting schedule. I will be out of town a lot and even if I had a laptop Id be too tired to get on it. I would rather be on this sight more than watching t.v. And I have let my housework go. I am not complaining but I am nervous about all I have to do next month. This sight has encouraged me to start exercising and eat healthier. Actually all of you have. I can count on Lisa and Darcy to make me laugh daily. And Alex and Donali have been so helpfull. I had a great time in the chat room with Michelle Whippledaddy and Lioness last night.. You are all great.Leatha Teresa New Hope Betty , all of you have been like a second family to me. Any way please do not forget me. I am going to try and read as much as I can but doubt Ill get to post much. I would appreciate prayers for this difficult month I have coming up. I am kind of nervous about all the physical aspect. My partner and I are going to faux paint and do murals in 6 model homes. Thats a lot of setting up and ladder work. All this starts next monday, so I will appreciate any support. And I want you all to know that I will be thinking of you all and wishing you all a good loosing month and well being... Thanks to all of you...Janie

Best of luck to you Janie!! Please be careful going up and down those steep ladders. Why don't you post some of your work in pics here? I'd love to see your murals. I, too, am hopelessly addicted to this site. I turn the computer on first thing a.m., check it out, numerous times through out the day, and last thing at night. My husband (skin-flint) says he's going to get a band and a computer so that I'll talk to him:rolleyes: Take care of yourself!:D

Wow, that's impressive work. You will do fine, I know it. It must be great for you not to have a hum drum job. You're very fortunate in that regard.

Hey, you know what? I'm addicted to this place too. It's my haven from the crappier parts of my life.

Thanks Kelly and Ryan. I have a partner we have been in business foe 8 years and we paint in the DFW and Denton area. Our prices range according to how long we think something will take. We worked in a sweet little 85 year old ladys house and we made 200 a piece. But everything is diffrent. My favorite thing to paint is childrens rooms. I painted baby farm animals in my granddaughters room and puppy dogs in my grandsons room. Thanks for your words of encouragement...Janie

        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.

      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
