you know and I'm amazed that I've not been flamed.

But I try to stay out of that mess. Makes me think of that prolific poster...

Any you are a loser. A weight loser! Who's the dork?

I want to bycyle so bad I can't stand it! I have been sitting around this house all week and am about to lose my mind. One more week of full liquids doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that I have to take it easy on the exercise until I get a green light from the Doc. I am going to have to postpone the Everglades trip AGAIN!!!

I will do these things in order to recover properly. I was just sitting here scratching off the week I had reserved for kayaking and needed to vent.

BTW Congrats on the job interview BG I hope it goes well for you.

Thanks JC, I hope so too.

Ultimately the worst that is going to happen is that I don't get it. If i don't I still have a job so I can't complain too much.

Yup. My mom used to tell me that the worst thing anyone could ever say to me was "No." :redface: I hate being told 'no' though. :) Good luck!

I posted pics of myself there, one from last april, and then one from dec. Yes yes, I am hot!

Yes, you ARE hot! What a difference in your face, girlfriend! But you were beautiful "before", too.

Thank you miss Stef. :) I absolutely HATE that 'before' pic!! It was taken last April before one of my lil brothers moved to Georgia. My mom wanted a 'family' pic of all of us siblings with spouses and grandkids... Ugh. I look like a beached whale. Seeing this pic is part of what prompted me to schedule a consultation for the band. Lol.

ZZ,

I feel you about hating the before pictures. But they do show ones progress and yours has been fantastic.

I have a way before shot of me and my two sisters...They are dressed in white and me in red between them...I simply look giant. Yeah, I need to dredge that one up to keep me motivated.

Okay, my bycyling friends, I'm commiting to breaking this life sucking plateau I've been on. I'm going to be running intervals on my running days, adding cardio to my strength days, dropping my calories to 1000 daily, drinking 1/2 gallon of Water a day and taking my Vitamins like a good girl. I'm also no longer eating work food. Just food from home.

Wish me luck. My goal is to keep my head down and work of some of this weight for the next two months. I'll come up for air in March.

XO

Thanks for the comments on my pics. Having a 'fat' day today, so ya'll make a girl feel good.

I hear ya on the no-work-food thing J! Had a slice of Sausage pizza (thick crust!) and then a slice of veggie pizza (thin crust). Ugh. Oh yeah, 3 'buffalo' wings as well. My body fully rejected it this morning. Thank heaven. I need to go back to the Vegan diet I'd successfully done for like 2 weeks. Haha. My scale hasn't moved in like a week... maybe more. I'm mad. I need to see a change!! So sick of seeing 294... though I must admit it is better than seeing 382 like it was before surgery!!

Wow... sorry to bring the room down../.

J - My time is taken up quite a bit during the day with my son and homeschool now. I peek in when I can, but don't have time to post near as much. The curriculum he is doing is pretty autonomous, but I need to make sure he knows the drill before I turn him loose. Hopefully I will have more time in a couple weeks...I miss it here! :)

        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
