Yoda,

I had a goal for June and guess what? I had that one pesky pound that kept haunting me for months - it's gone and I'm down 4 below. My June goal is to maintain goal for this month.

Hope you're having a great week!

June goals...

UMMMmm....

1 - Survive In-Laws visit in mid-June :(

2 - Get my fill without crying when they stick me with the needle! :pray:

3 - Survive my first TAT on thursday (no crying will be a bonus) :nervous

4 - Start the exercise part of my band life :frusty:

5 - Support Mrs. Yoda in her June goals :hug:

6 - Stay healthy and happy as the temp rises at work (adv. 130F on nice summer days) :fear:

That's not too lofty for a newbie, is it?

Did I mention the In-Laws coming???? :)

1. Stick to the Post-op diet

2. Maintain current weight (losing would be a bonus)

3. Walk a min. 30 min every day.

I think I'll stop here and give myself a chance.:)

Mr. Y- What's a TAT?

Tattoo!!!!!

I'm getting the one I have around my ankle "fixed" this afternoon (I had emergency surgery 4 yrs ago and they had to "cut" through my tattoo). While there, I am getting another one and Mr Yoda is getting his first!!! His mother is going to kill me (yet another thing I'm a bad influence on him for!!!). But of course, as you all know, Mr Y. has a mind of his own and I did NOT talk him into this (I would never talk anyone into something as permanent as a tattoo...it is an individual decision)...but all the same; I can't wait to see his mom's face!!!! *evil laughter*

Hi: You have probably lost your Cookies (lol). When I do a full scan for viruses Norton Security posted a message that I was being tracked and the threat was low. I deleted the cookies and lost my ticker. Had to go back and reinstall it. Doddie

1. Get a fill...feel some restriction

2. Finish Finals (why do i subject myself to summer classes)

3. Lose 2 pounds before fill

It's funny you say get a tat...i was thinking about getting one myself...One that had a meaning, something that represents my weight loss journey, as well as my passion for medicine and health...probably a rod of asklepios. (the stick with the snake around it)...I'm not sure...i will probably wait till i lose some weight first.

Thanks Yoda,

I do feel great - kinda weirded out being at goal though.... now what? is my question and do I have the tools to stay the course? How will I handle difficult situations? I know I know.... I'm just sayin'.

PS. We do need to have a gab session soon. Let me know.

Woo! Finally after weeks and weeks at the same, I was down a pound(ish) today! Let's hope this is the beginning of some steady ticker movement!

And I still am running. I'm taking the couch potato to 5k a little slower than they suggest, but it's ok. I'm now at running for a whopping 90 seconds, then walking for 2 minutes!

So far I am doing ok on the post -op diet. At least I think I am. I start soft food on wednesday and I am looking forward to a nice scrambled egg! I have had a few days that I really wished I could have something that required chewing lol but I managed to get through them in tack! It is actually amazing how quickly the time is going by.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
