Lol how cute! That dog doesn't want you to go anywhere! My cat sits on my head too and you would be surprised at the funky sounds that comes from his stomach!

post-262421-14454727928812_thumb.jpg I have a 65 pound lap dog lol. I understand your concern. I'm 3 weeks out and I've just tried to set barriers so she doesn't jump on me. She's a big baby so she likes to cuddle in my lap. When I came home from surgery she would sit in front of me and cry because I wouldn't let her in my lap.

I can totally relate to this! It's like they see something that you are using and they just take it the moment they can! I went to the bathroom. Was gone MAYBE a minute and holly stole my heating pad! post-262421-14454781933001_thumb.jpg

He'll stay on his own side of the couch but I will need help walking him. ????

I can't tell you how much better my knee feels now that she's been laying on it for a while.

Therapy dog in so many ways. She's seen me through three surgeries and I've seen her through two of her own.

I've been close to all of our dogs......but this one is really special. I hope she lives a long and healthy life.

I just leave the pillow across my abdomen and all is well.

My first day home she jumped up in the recliner and stood there looking at me. I pulled my shirt up and showed her the new holes....she leaned in....leaned back.....looked up at me and raised her front left paw and dropped her head down.

She's stayed off my abdomen ever since. I keep the pillow there to safeguard against the younger dog....she's wide open and full of adventure and wouldn't know any better.

Plus.......that pillow feels great as it's warm and provides slight pressure.

I have a schnauzer too!!!

He is my EVERYTHING!

earlier when I was in my gym and doing wide grip pull downs, he HAD to be on the bench with me and even had to be so close that he was touching me.

I can't live without him and he can't live without me.

I adore my Tucker!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
