You people are just G R E A T !!! & @CG. Thank You for saying hot Lol ( menopause) Thank You people , You guys keep me focused , yesterday my Mother thought she was being nice & doesn't think about my band all the time well she fixed country sausage white gravy & homemade biscuits , well I found my kryptonite I couldn't pass it up & you all know I don't do bread , well instead of hurting her feelings I ate a couple of bites & my tool said what did you do so I couldn't eat anything else for the day , I did manage a Protein Shake & Lots of Water , but I had to let her know that I loved the thought but that I can no longer have or eat stuff like that anymore ,she was ok & told me she was proud of letting her know so she will no longer offer it to me .

Chuckle of my week went to see the dr yesterday for an adjustment and this guy in the waiting room was like you are here why ? I said because I had the surgery he was in shock it blew his mind guess I look normal to him. I told him the lap band changed my life I lost 1/2 of who I was. One of those feel good maybe I look normal moments my eyes and brain will catch up eventually :)

I totally understand. I saw my doctor a few weeks ago and they share the area with another practice, non WLS. But a man checked in with my doctor and he was so thin and small, I felt like saying, great job, but kept quiet. I don't know if people want to be noticed and called out about a great job, so I just say nothing.

You are 1/2 the person but a wonderful woman!!

Enjoy the gold star.

Hi friends,it's a no Turkey Tuesday!!!! Hoooray!!! I think I am done with Turkey, for the foreseeable future. Even though I made the turkey last year I don't think I enjoyed any of it, this year I had some and was not feeling well after, so I just chalked it up to maybe I ate to much of it or too fast. Well no that's not it...I had it again and the same thing happened. Hubs and kids were all fine...me nope! Headache and tummy ache and just felt terrible for about an hour after eating it.

Turkey has not joined broccoli in the "it doesn't agree with me" category. Anyone ever have that happen with fresh whole Turkey? Turkey burgers, and/or ground turkey meat does not have this affect on me. Just the freshly cooked one.

Found out earlier this evening that a grandson is on the way. I am truly blessed to be able to say this little guy will have a healthy and mobile grandma to love and help take care of him.

      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.
