Thanks! I think we all have these days, these moments when everything just seems to fall apart. Especially when we try SOOOO hard to keep it together, keep ourselves on point. When my husband comes home from work, everything kinda goes to the wind, and things (especially my plan for the day) goes out the window. I forget to do this, do that, take this, eat that, and everything is just kittiwampas. By the end of the day I'm a mess, I've forgotten to take meds, Vitamins.....and then I get upset, more from NOT being in control than anything. But it's not HIS fault, it's mine. I'm still so new to this way of living, of eating, of SURVIVING the day. I need to turn this madness around.

It is because we are so impulsive about his days off, and we never know what may interject itself into our day (he IS a cop), so we never know how the day is to go. Drives me nuts, sometimes. He has to retire in 4 years, and I'm looking forward to that! WHAT IS A NORMAL LIFE???! I so look forward to checking this site everyday, you all help ME soooo much, you have NO idea!!! Thank YOU for YOUR support!

I feel that chaos with spouse and kids. Fibromyalgia brain fog doesn't help. Thank you for supporting your husband. Not easy to have a loved one in harms way every day. Thank your husband for protecting the community. It's stressful getting used to life after surgery. We'll all get there together.

And thank YOU for the thanks! It certainly isn't something he or I hear much, especially these days where cops are now the "bad" guys. He loves his work, and wouldn't do anything else, and most of the cops we know feel the same.

I also have fibro - had it for years. Doesn't help having it alongside everything else. It sure seems to me that those of us that have it, also have so many other issues, as well. And I think someday there will be a revelation as to how they are all connected. Long after I'm gone, I suppose!

But today was a good day, lots of gardening, husband home for the day, able to get the doctor's appointment for tomorrow, SUNSHINE!!!!! Need I say more?! Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow!

Being a sweet tooth queen. I just had to find healthy sweet treats to make for myself.I made froen yogurt with raisins,almonds,and trail mix. I also will add a bit of honey to sweeten it a little. My hardest times is of course when it is PMS time, ugh. It seems that it has gotten worse since this surgery and plus my age too, I believe. I was thinking about getting sf cake mix so that when my family have the real deal, I can enjoy my sf slice. I enjoyed baked apples and baked bananas with my yogurts too. The baked bananas are the bomb! You have to try it.

        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
