I completely understand the preto thing... Told my hubby I feel like I just gave birth and am home from the hospital.. Jeans don't fit Etc... Guess I'll give it a few more days.

Mama spoke, I got out as well, went to SAMs and Kroger with the family.

Last night we went to Celebrate our aunts 62 bday, for the past 5 years it's at this hole in the wall karaoke bar in Fort Worth. Her choice her bday. Anyway I stopped and got me some Vitamin Water squeezed lemonade and they let me bring it in and gave me ice. It is so good.

Later I got daring and had the bartender make me a virgin Bloody Mary, I only had about 4-5 oz of it because the sodium was thru the roof, but I'm happy to report my tummy can handle spice!!!! I'm so glad! My hubby had the rest, poured his beer in it for a red beer.

I may start adding a couple if dashes hot sauce to my v8 juice ;) and so excited next weekend for a bit of re fried Beans and salsa, or cottage cheese and salsa.

Today I am in search of leather cleaner/conditioner, anyone have suggestions for our area? A friend mentioned a leather place off Montgomery and 30.

Barefeet-we are all going to get there at one point. Just keep working the plan! How much have you lost so far?

Tamij-impressed with your selection! I would have struggled or not gone to the party!

Tamij I agree... Awesome that you got out and tried something... My husband had surgery a year ago and he gets a virgin Bloody Mary every time he plays golf... Says it's heaven.

Mama spike, I have lost 12 lbs since surgery. And nothing last two days. Surgery was just on 12/20... 12 lbs isn't shabby.

I ended up coming home from work a little after noon, my allergies were kicking my rear. Slept for 4-5 hours feeling foggy headed but better.

Sorry you guys had a tough couple of days... I had my follow up appointment, and I've been moving through the diet too fast... Back to puréed Soups, shakes and broth for 2 more weeks...

Been reading your posts. I too am in DFW and Dr. Adam Smith is my surgeon. I was sleeved on Nov. 18. Doing ok. Don't progress too fast. I know the foods can seem boring but you'll get there. I promise. You don't want to cause any issues with your new stomach. So happy for all of you guys and glad you are doing well!!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
