@@Beni you're too kind. I can't notice a waist yet, then again we can't see what everyone else sees yet. I'm sure I will see it soon.

@@misstvb don't get too discouraged...sometimes that happens when we're sick. I had a cold a few weeks ago, as well as a ton of Fluid in my knee...I gained 5lbs, then I got my knee drained and got rid of the cold and I lost the 5, plus another 5 the last couple of weeks. It Def gets better, promise :)

Flu season is around big time. A friend of mine is an elementary school teacher. Yesterday 172 kids were called in sick at her school. In my house both my husband and youngest have are feverish and miserable. I wish there was a bubble I could hide in. For now I am washing my hands like an OCD crazed woman.

I am in a stall again. But I have been so enthusiastic about gearing up for Christmas I haven't given it much thought. This too shall pass.

My 8yr old told me I looked nice today and my honey said I looked HOT (haha! I don't know about that!!) But I thought I'd have her snap a picture of me quick. I took a normal picture and she says, "Mom! Give me a sassy pose!" So then I got as sassy as I'm able to be...heehee.Then I made her strike a sassy pose too. :-) So here's our sassy pics!

Hi Everyone!

Still lots going on with my family. My daughter just had major surgery on Monday. She had part of her colon removed. Due to not eating right and a couple other things. The surgeon who specializes in Gastroenterologic surgeries told her to eat Paleo. Which thrilled me! I've been on to Paleo for 2 years. I just kept falling off the dinosaur! Now, with the surgery, I'm able to stay on track. I find it's getting easier and easier.

I went to my NUT yesterday and she said I can now progress to "soft" foods for a couple weeks. FISH! Yay! I'm cooking steak and shrimp for my family for Christmas and I'll probably have a nice piece of salmon. Yum!

I've lost 35.3 lbs since Oct. 21. I was hoping for 40 but I'm happy. I have squeezed into the next size smaller jeans. They're not tight but they fit. If that makes sense. Thank God for stretch jeans!

About the flu...my sister is a health nurse in a high school and she was required to get the flu vaccine. A lot of good it did her! She's very sick now. I am wondering if anyone will be able to avoid it this year.

I do get on here and read what you all are posting and I love hearing all of it. I guess for now I'm a lurker until some things quiet down. I'm strong and can handle it. It seems when I can sit down and read some posts, I'm pooped!

Thanks to everyone for keeping up with this group. I hope you're all doing well and getting better and better!

Hugs to all,

Sherri

        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
