Like BG said, talk to your doc.

Also what the hell are you eating? Tone it down like no caffiene, tomatoes, onions, peppers, vinegar and other acidic things.

Enough with the praise the rest of y'all.

Oh, and tomorrow night, I'm taking BG out to a Queer Country Line Dance Competition Fund Raiser at a bar. Should be fun. I'll try to take pictures. heeheehee,

Before my phone decided to be an asshole earlier I was saying that I just recently started listening to country so I don't know the dances.

But I could be some excellent eye candy for the ladies.

J - Today I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast, 1/2 Fiber One Bar for snack, a handful of raw soy nuts for lunch, the other 1/2 of fiber opne bar for snack. Then I stpped on my way home to buy the Omeprazole and got a pint of plain vanilla ice cream hoping that would help my heartburn! And that is all I have eaten.

I never eat anything with onions, etc. Lol. I used to love hot stuff, like the buffalo sauce and stuff, but since the beginning of the band I haven't tolerated that stuff.

Anyone ever heard of flat Stanley? It is a book and my daughters class is doing a project on it. Here is a link to read about it if you have not heard of it. Flat Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They want each student to send out Flat Stanley to 5 different people. Would anyone like to participate? If you want to participate you would get to host Stanley for a few days and then send him back with a note telling about his adventures while he was with you. You can include brochures, photos, postcards, etc regarding his visit. My daughter would really appreciate help in this project and we would be providing all the stamps, envelopes and such. All we need is your time.

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

ZZ,

I WYD said what I was thinking. Girl, you could do some damage if you don't get this looked at. BG had to get a slight unfil this past winter too.

Don't tough it out. You could hurt yourself. You're a nurse, be a patient. (did I spell that right?).

XO

Hi everyone! I GOT MY BAND!!!! I am still at the hospital, waiting for my doctor to come in and discharge me home. I'm a little painful at the port site, but what's worse is the itching I got from the Scopalamine patch (a little tiny patch behind the ear to ward of nausea). They've been feeding me Benadryl for hours now. Other than that I'm doing great! I got to see my band on fluoro....That was pretty neat!

I'll talk to you all later!

        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
