You've missed pontificating, backlash, back-peddling and lock-downs

lol so it appears!

I am privy to what your refer. Generally yawn-worthy!

How's the weight loss going? I have lost and gained the same two pounds about 5 times this month.

The fact I ate 8 chocolate eclair sweets on Tuesday evening and followed it up with 10 chocolate eclair sweets tonight.

I am bad. I feel ashamed. Bloody period!

You also missed my poo infusion...just got home. Easy peasy. Just rolled over on my side, took a little nap and woke up with new poo. Only took about 1/2 hour! Been on Clear Liquids for 2 days, so afterwards drove to the closest fast food place and devoured the innards of an Arby's ham and cheese. Chew schmoo...

Good Lord, lady. If you tell me these things, then I WANT these things.

The weight loss is terribly slow! I had the 6 month check up yesterday and his scale weighed me MORE than mine at home! I was hoping mine was wrong, but to my benefit...ya know?

I live in NY. The weather is turning now, maybe I should be out there walking...or something?!

I think we're brothas from anotha mutha.. 'cause I'm the same. I haven't had my six month check up. I'm scared of it.

I have this feeling he's going to say 'lower your calories to half a glass of fresh air per day'...

He won't like it if he knew I'm just about to eat some pork, because I'm starving - at 1am. I didn't eat enough Protein today which is why I ate the sweets. That and my unwarranted time of the month. I'm supposed to not have 'times of the month', but tablets or not, they still turn up! ARRRGH!

I need to try harder. I really must, or this thing is gonna be a bust :(

I wonder if there's a difference - green vs yellow boogers? How about just white or clear snot???

Seriously, someone needs to be studying this.

Hate to tell you this, but it has been. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and manage clinical trial databases. I've collected data on sputum which includes a description...color, clarity, etc. Yes....ma'am...it's been done already. :rolleyes:

I'm going to tell you something, do not dispute this, you are scared.

You're smart, articulate, and well liked, and you're terrified like the all of us.

The dr. Was pleased at my 6 month and yours will be, too. Expectations vs. reality. Our heads tell us it should be more loss, but reality is we are right on track. Do not doubt it!

My weight went up and down and sideways with no forward progress for OVER A MONTH. Talk about scared!

But, it started to budge a little. When I asked the dr. If it's almost over, he laughed...and assured me that it is not!,

Hold my hand, we will move forward. And if we fail, just remember this.....

"You can ALWAYS get skinny, but ya can't get pretty..."

Lucky us.

lol Oh, of course I'm scared! (in a kid caught with her hand in the cookie-jar kinda way). I don't want to have to face the consequences of my shoveling down a truck load of toffee encased chocolate and the likelihood that he'll tell me to lower my calories! Huzzah!

Terrified? No. As with most things, it's all relative. Loneliness is the only thing on the planet that terrifies me. Truly.

I can man-up and take on my responsibilities better than most. If i have to swallow shed loads of Protein shakes to get there, I will. <URGHHH!>

I know we're alright. I mean, how can we not be?

We're bloody fabulous! ;) x

I'm terrified. I'm terrified that if this doesn't work, I will hurt someone and that someone will likely be my husband, so then I will be alone!

See what I did there?

I quit smoking in order to have this surgery. I think I spend more time missing cigs than I do missing food. I feel like a gave up EVERYTHING.

I need a huge reward for being so amazing. I'm going to get that reward come hell or high water!

Ps: I no longer have that time of the month! Maybe that's my reward!

Ouch. That hurt. I was not a casual smoker either! I'm talking 35 years, hard core smoking! I miss it.

I kind of always suspected, though, that I would eat sweets JUST so I could follow it up with a cig! Logically, because I don't smoke now, I don't seek sweets!

Weird

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
