Lol! Awesome. I'm in although my sleeve is a week away I'm always in the mood for a laugh. Most of the times my laughing is at myself..smh..but if we can't laugh at ourselves what fun is it? Have a great day everyone. Ps...the dog's look is priceless! That how my sissy dog looks at me when I'm paparazzing her XD!

good. I was getting worried. Was trying to add up in my head how many calories/carbs he would be.

Well, not food or dog related because I was just sleeved yesterday, but the surgeon, my husband I were joking about what we could tell people. The surgeon was all, "Come up with something ridiculous! OMG - I don't have any idea how I lost all this weight! I just started bathing in egg whites everyday and, bam!" Followed by a discussion of whether you could start a run on egg whites and would a legion of cranky plumbers come after

Option 2 was a rare tropical paradise. "Yes," I replied, "maybe I picked it up when I lived in Micronesia a million years ago. The lack of sun in Seattle finally killed it off, and all the weight it brought died off, too."

Not hilarious, but it lightened things up before surgery. No dogs in my house, but my cats are Siberians - even if I could get past the metric ton of fur, they have awfully big teeth and claws. OTOH, they are jumpers and have giant thighs like a rabbit. I often wonder how the breed made it through those cold Russian winters. Was cat thigh Soup a thing?post-300613-14751382626306_thumb.jpg

I was sleeved in May. I mixed a teaspoon of baby rice Cereal into my Protein shake to "thicken" it up a tiny bit. Definitely helped with fullness.

Ayah - I meant to say "parasite" instead of "paradise". Drugged up posts... I just thought it was hilarious the surgeon was coming up with such ridiculous stories. I explained I'd only told my kids (13/16) about the hernia repair part of the surgery because I hadn't wanted them to worry too much. The 13 year old loves medicine and I was all, "Hey - want to see my cool scars? Go fetch my Water..." The 16 year old has an anxiety disorder, so it's more like, "Hurry up with those dishes or I'll show you my horrifying scars!"

And yup, those are my cats wearing their best, "You look tasty," look. They keep coming to see me and walk around on my belly to make sure I'm okay They're helpful like that.

Hope you're feeling better. Animals definitely know when we're not ok. Cooper wouldn't eat while I was in the hospital and when I came home he was literally glued to my side for days.

      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.
