Where is Lipstick Lady when I need her?



Recommended Posts

I HATE THIS SEASON!!!! I have always, even as a child hated the Christmas season! I would like to stay in bed from September to the first of March. I'm having a really hard time lately, starving and wanting to eat everything and anything!! Not sweets so much as I want comfort food. And my pouch does not get full very quickly. I rarely throw up but might retch but I never was one to throw up anyway. I'm trying to stay positive, think about my goals, read this forum a lot but I'm still having a hard time!!

I ordered myself a Fitbit and joined the New Year Challenge on this board but I think I need a kick in the butt or head!! Which is why I wonder where Lipstick lady is because she has not been posting a lot!! Hopefully by 2017 I can get back to basics!

I hate this season too ESPECIALLY Christmas. I'd rather hibernate than deal with life!

Comfort food.

Chili with lean meat and lots of Beans. Ham and bean Soup. French onion Soup.

Meatloaf with green Beans or other roasted veggies.

Pulled chicken and gravy.

Teriyaki salmon and stir fried veggies,

There are sooooooo many options. Shape up or I'll know and I'll come beat you.

You're worth it.

And yeah... posting around these parts is quite ho-hum lately. ;)

WOW you've got all the great ideas. They sound yummy. Screw buying a cookbook for WLS ...I'm coming to you

Did you have problems with spicy stuff after surgery? I put Sriracha on EVERYTHING.

And ho-hum in the manner that watching my peeps getting called names for offering good advice is snoresville.

I know. You and some of the other valuable vets are harder to find lately. I also miss @@bayougirlmrsc

I know what you mean @@LipstickLady, some people who ask questions don't really want the answers. There is never a reason on a forum like this to resort to name calling and personal attacks. Having said that though, you seem to get your point across without seeming to harsh!! I enjoy most of the banter but I sometimes shake my head at some of the questions and how wounded those people become if they are told "no"! If you have a problem, it is that you are too loyal!!

Fiercely loyal like a momma bear!! lol

        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.

      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
