why remodeling is alot like WLS



Recommended Posts

  • It's pretty disruptive your life and no matter what you try to do - it impacts the whole family too!

As ,much as you plan, there are many surprises!

No matter how many people warn you what it is like to live in a house under remodel; you really have no idea until it is too late and you ask yourself "what have I done???"

Things look worse before they look better.

You've checked references, asked questions, tried to do your homework.... but it is still a leap of faith

I'll add, it always costs more than your budget but if you choose a good team, are ready to take the plunge, and do your homework, the results will be better than you ever imagined.

well, today was supposed to be the last day of this phase... of course, they didn't finish....

contractor gave me some great tips on next phase though - I would definately recommend this guy. I am doing countertops directly with a countertop place (saves the 20% markup and i am on a low budget!) and doing my own handles/knob replacement (keeping my cabinets and floorplan for kitchen). He made suggestions on colors for countertops and style of knobs/pulls that will look good with everything else and update things considerably. Once he said it, I knew it was right! it is really great when you find a team you can work with!

        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
