hey Juli,

Well, I am finishing up some work getting ready for my trip, and than I am off to florida on sat...

I was excited...we went to a store called Goodys today..Leslee had birthday money....and I bought my first pair of HIP jeans.....they are so cool.....they botton, have pockets and everything. I had tried some on last night in the same size, but they wouldnt work...my goal is to get in a pair of Levi's...my all time favorite from the past...

WOOHOOO

On a diffrent note...my 19 year old was home today...OH my...I feel so bad for her. I am giving her my clothes....she has put on so much weight...she is in school full time with 18 credit hours and working 40 hours a week...living on her own, and eating awful.

She has been asking about the lapband but honestly I dont know if they would cover her with her age, etc.

She needs to try and work this out...I hate seeing her this big..it is so sad...and I know what it is like...

But anyway....

Woo hoo on the jeans.

Boo hoo for your daughter. I know they do the band on people as young as 16 and I think 18 is the more common age. It's certainly something to think about and your a good resource as far as how it really impacts ones life. Keep us posted about her.

Hi guys, well it's Monday and I am getting ready to go back to work. What a awesome vacation. I am so glad that I got to meet some of you, it really made for a memorable trip. It will probably take me a few days to get back into a routine. Wish me luck this is the longest I have been away in 8 or 9 years, so there will probably be a liitle bit of work waiting for me.

Good Monday morning to ya!!! Juli, I actually just took yesterday off and did abso-fuckin'-lutely nothing. It was GREAT!! We actually had a game day. We probably played 8 hours of games the whole day. We went and did a bit of shopping, I did my running and then back to games. It was great!! No tv on all day, and we spent some good good quality time as a family together. I know the day is coming really quick when DD doesn't want to be around us anymore. I hate that it happens, but it does. Went through it with son.

HP, congrats!! on the clothes!! That is sooooooo freakin cool!!!! That is too bad about your DD. I know it really hurt my mom to see me at my heaviest. She always thought it was her fault some how. Gosh, I love that woman!!! She is an awesome mom. You sound like you are too. I know I put A LOT of weight on when I moved away to college at 19. A LOT!! And it never came back off.

BG, What size are you wearing at 205? How tall are you? I am 5'7" and I am still wearing a 22 pants or 2x's. SOme things I could wear a 1x if they have a drawstring. Shirts I am still a solid 2x and might not feel comfortable in a 1x for some time. I think the last 2x's I got it said 18-20W. MOst 2x's are 22-24W though, I think.

D it depends on the clothes. Ususally I am wearing about a size 16. Many things in an XL but starting to go into L. Some of my 16's are a little too big. I just got some new scrub pants that are a Large and fit good. They are lime green flare leg and way sexy.

      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.
