Good luck with the job, I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you as well.

I am bound and determined to get to feeling better. I see the surgeon on Monday and hopefully he will take this silly gall bladder out in a hurry!!!!

Thanks, Susan.

My gall bladder was a real episode. First my doctor misdiagnosed me for four freakin' months; and when it finally went, it went bad. I had my husband take me to the emergency room after a horrible bout of vomiting for hours and hours and pain worse than natural childbirth. The real pisser about it was once I got out of the hospital and looked up my problem, I was textbook. TEXTBOOK. I should have been diagnosed months prior and had something done rather than going through misery for four freakin' months. So yes, I understand the whole gall bladder thing. :)

On a lighter note, her unshaved armpits and legs (and I can only assume other parts) made me glad I wasn't a hippie in the late 60's / early 70's.

Not that I would want to offend my non-shaving female friends. I understand for some it's a lifestyle choice.

For some, it's pure laziness. :) (Except for my armpits - I can't stand not to shave them.) There's just so much surface area on my legs! Too much work sometimes.

Drive-by PJTP: Interview felt good, went on for an hour. Asked tons of questions and what-ifs. The job I originally applied for was supervising 8, but they did some internal moving around and filled that spot, leaving open the supervisor position I interviewed for today which supervises 15.

Anyway, they should know something next week. Here's hopng, praying, and crossing fingers.

Good luck Beth; we're rooting for you!

I hope so Susan!

Patchouli is THE MOST DISGUSTING SCENT EVER!!!

I'm glad someone else feels that way about Patchouli...nauseating! One thing about working in healthcare - most environments are scent-free so rarely do I experience the war of the perfumes/body sprays anymore.

It's 330 am - why am I up???? I know I am an early riser, but this is ridiculous!! Anyone else up? Any of the Aussies around...Fanny? She? Hey, I haven't seen any posts from She recently...

I'm here. I have been up since 2. I am not getting email notifications so I didn't realize anyone else had been on here. How are you this fine (freaking early) morning? I went to sleep too early last night. I am now paying for it. It is going to be a really long day.

Good luck Beth!

I am so glad it is Friday! t-storms are predicted for today, but it will be warm (at least warm for here - about 60 degrees). My boss has gone to Las Vegas for a conference so the office will be quiet..

I suppose I should get my rear in gear...time to get to the morning fitness routine. Catch you in a few hours....

Morning fitness? You know, it is pathetic that I get up so early in the morning and had not thought about using that time to exercise. It would be perfect since no one else is up. I hate how I look when I exercise, so I am mortified when either DS or DH sees me.

I hope that you have a great, quiet Friday at the office Tap. My boss is going fishing (it's supposed to be like 80 today)so I get to be his stand in (along with my regular duties). Thankfully, we do get extra pay for standing in for the boss.

PJTP: One of my patients last night was an old hippie that was high-yi-yi.....I almost got a contact buzz.

On a more sad note, the sweetish odor of the pot mixed with the patchooli (sp?) she doused herself with was making me a little ill.

Gotta love the contact highs. I managed convenience stores for yrs. That was a daily occurrence in that business.

Does anyone else find it disturbing that Pain, oops sorry Plain, recognizes and knows the name of that nasty perfume? I am allergic to a lot of perfumes, but to me patchooli smells like bug spray, Raid to be exact.

Gotta go, By have a good day!

Morning fitness - get it over with, is my philosophy. Besides there are fewer people at the Y, and that means more access to the machines...and usually the whirlpool to myself after.

So now Im at the office, morning routines done, coffee in hand, music playing ........ahhhh, peace and quiet.

I love peace and quiet. That is what I have right now. I have been drinking on a low carb slim-fast for over an hour and still haven't finished it. I really wasn't even hungry to begin with but knew I needed fuel. Is this what restriction is about?

I am so glad that I don't know the perfume (or stink spray) that you all are talking about. I really hate loud perfume. There is a lady that works with me that leaves her smell behind for at least 20 minutes. If I can smell you well after you are gone, it is too much.

Gah! I just can't imagine not shaving! I am very very smell-sensitive. Patchouli is THE MOST DISGUSTING SCENT EVER!!!!

guess odd man out - love the smell of patchouli, have a candle infused w/it burning right now.

then again i'm a dead head w/a hippie mom. my first concert my parents took me to was the greatful dead @ the age of 4.....so i developed a fondness for it..:)

shaving - hate it; so i go the waxing route - but am looking into laser hair removal. my friend did her arm pits/bikini line w/great results.

I have no idea what patchooli smells like...or maybe I do and didn't recognize the scent?

As a former stoner, I do freak my friends out because I like the smell of skunks.

Shaving: I'm lucky enough to have fine, soft non-noticable hair, so I only shave legs like, once every 2 months during long pants season. Shorts weather means more frequent, just 'cuz. Pits, though? Every other day, cause ew!

PJTP: Didn't move a muscle yesterday. Came home after appraisers left, and considered a nap. I laid down in the bed and then DD joined and talked about her day, which I'd never NOT listen to. Getting her to talk at all is a blessing! Then dogs joined, and that was the end of any nap I'd been thinking about! Had late dinner, watched recorded shows (Hells Kitchen, Survivor, The Office) and went to bed.

PJTP...I didn't get any email notifications this morning! I missed all the good posts so far! :)

Luckily I'm a LBT junkie, so I had to log in and get my fix...

Everyone in the office is over on the main campus handing Welcome Weekend for the newly admitted students...that means peace and quiet here for me in the office. :w00t:

I'm being such a good girl, I even did some work this morning! Ooops - don't tell anyone!

Looking forward to a wonderful weekend - relaxing and sunny - means I'll get out for a lot of walks, do some gardening, etc. I LOVE Spring! :lol:

Have a terrific day, everyone!

      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.
