Sick - do the 5 Day Pouch Test - the first 2 days consist of liquids and if you are as tight as you feel, then it's a breeze to do it and the added bonus is most people lose 3-6 lbs at the end of the 5 days.

Beth quit picking on Plain long enough to become a member of my mob - then you can pick away all you want. :thumbup:

Plain - U 2!

Is THAT where everybody is??? Good God, people, I need entertainment here! :biggrin: lol

I need to figure Mobsters out. I was busy playing WoW. I'll get on FB soon enough to try to figure out what to do. :smile:

Have you had any steroid shots for lung development??

2 shots were given on 1/2 & 1/3 respectively...

LJM---have they given you an estimate on his size from the Ultrasound?

my ultrasounds are wonky due to previous surgeries and scar tissue... (gall bladder with a 'zipper scar', lap band and TT) so they arent fabulous quality just good enough...

last week his weight was 5lbs 4oz give or take 1/2 pound either way...

The topic of sleep quality in an acute care setting intrests me very much. In fact, it the subject of my research project.

Baby LJM is waaaaaaaay too far along for that. His lungs are already formed, and they'll be put to good use very soon, from the sounds of it........glad I'm done with the crying babies, LOL

as long as i dont have neighbors on either side i sleep VERY well... one neighbor went home and one might be leaving soon. i told my RN if she's still there about midnight i'll go for the Ambien tonight... kinda petrified to take it though - i've never taken it before.. :thumbup:

contractions have continued, but they are still very irregular. doc said this may go on for a week or so, if they become more regular they'll "check my tonsils" (heh) and see how things are progressing...

i guess since this is the first pregnancy i've gotten this far im afraid im going to miss a contraction (or several) :biggrin:

Do like I do.....subsist on optimism and joy. And occasionally, on the flesh of the homeless.

They can be a bit stringy and tough at times.

Booya, Plain!

Don't be petrified of it - it's not like you'll be "drunk" on it and have to drive (serious, not smart ass). You can test it out all while in bed! Then you'll know in the future if you can tolerate it! From what I've heard, it's not unbelievably strong.

Thanks so much; I'll look into it!

      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
