I want to wish you a Happy New Year



Recommended Posts

I haven't been on for a few days, I have been really sick, and I still am. I have the flu, the doctor said I had it full blown! I have been running a temp of 103 and my head feels like it is going to explode. My body aches and my throat is sore, and of course the terrible caugh that goes along with it. I am really weak and can't sit up long at a time. The doctor said 5-7 days of this, and I am highly contageous! I cancelled my fill that was scheduled for yesterday. The doctor also said since I had the first origianal round of flu shots, he had to report that the strain broke through the shot. Anyway, I just wanted you to all know that I just haven't been able to reply to your posts, and I also wanted to wish you all a very "Happy New Year".

I was wondering where you had gone! Hope you feel better real soon. You can't really have a happy new year with the flu, so I hope the rest of the year is great to make up for it. :(

Hey Betty, I noticed you havent been around. Thought maybe you were out-of-town.

Here's a (((hug))) and a hot cup of chicken noodle Soup to ail those aches.

We miss you - hope you are well soon.

Love you!

Betty, I would have sent you a get well, but I feel like a real dummy, I've never been to the "lounge" before. I especially like the joke thread.

Glad you're better.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
