Ylluz - from Amazon.com I am a prime member, so shipping is always free. I got like 20 of them for $10.00

I splurged on the demitasse spoons/forks - they are super cute, for a set of 4 for each I spent $20

I didn't want to buy the plastic throw away cups with lids, it just seems so wasteful and bad for the environment. Not knocking anyone who buys them though, just hope they recycle!

I agree, my insurance had me do a 7 month program with doctors visits, dietician, etc. It felt like it would never get here. Then I had my last appointment, insurnace approval only took 1 week and 3 days. I told the office I wanted scheduled as soon as they had an opening and they said it would be the end of Aug. She called me 2 days later and said the 17th wich from then was only 19 days away. Time has flown. I know it will be a long road of recovery but it will be worth it in the end!!

Just got back from kickboxing class. Luckily I can put it on hold until after I'm cleared by the surgeon. There are still things I can't do at this weight. I can't do all the running and I can't do push ups. But on the slip side I CAN do lots of things like punching, arm work with weights, squats, so I guess it's all relative. I definitely work up a sweat that's for sure.

I was a little worried about money this week after getting a couple of higher than normal bills but I knew I would work it out. I opened my mail from my mortgage company ( I pay online and usually don't open the statements...bad I know ) and found a $420 escrow reimbursement! Yay me. Maybe this is a prelude of good fortune to come?

My surgery is in 5 days, 9 hours and 23 minutes but who's counting? ????

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
