Ummm.....Susan if at 42 you are old, those of us in our 50's must be positively ANCIENT....which of course supports that evil side of my mind that says "Why even think about plastic surgery? You are too old to reap the benefits!"

**Tap with her withered fingers shuffles the papers on her desk...at least with her failing eyesight, she thinks it is her desk....**

Sorry, age is just a number, right? None of us are old, we are just getting started!!

3 potential new jobs in the pipeline...I've been referred to the hiring manager on all three, which means I passed the first screening test for qualifications, etc. Had to take a typing test on Tuesday - first time since I don't know when - and I practiced a bit online first. Scored 71 wpm corrected - not too shabby, if I do say so myself! :smile:!

That sounds like potential great news, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. And, I bet you will look great in that cute swimsuit!

I interviewed with a placement agency on Tuesday, and she has someplace in mind (though I haven't heard anything since).

Beth, keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

I want your job!!!

PJTP: Went to see the dr today. Down 9 pounds since last month. No fill again - been steady at this fill since March.

Down 83 pounds since surgery - 102 pounds from my highest. I can hardly remember being so big - which is a good thing!

Woo Hoo! You are doing amazing! Congrats! :smile:

To those of you who helped me with voting last night, thank you so much. It is a close race right now, we are within two votes of each other and I believe voting closes at 2:00. Wish me luck.

Guys, my oldest child, whom I refer to as my baby boy is graduating from high school tonight!! I cannot believe it. I know I am going to cry my eyes out!

Thanks Susan...age is a number. So is weight. As are calories, minutes of exercise, and alcohol content. Numbers are bad. :smile:

Haven't a clue what voting you are referring to, but good luck!

But you will be crying for joy, right?? Last of the children is grown...independent etc. You are free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning all! Thanks be it is Friday...and peaking out from behind the huge black clouds is a bit of sun! I am hoping for sunshine this weekend....I wanna go play in the dirt!! Its been torrential rains for 3 days now, time for a bit of dry weather.

hope all are doing well.

I told my DD that the day she started Kindergarten that I cried, then I cried the 2nd day because they only kept her half a day.

Then when she graduated I would cry one day because she was all grown up and graduating and leaving home, and cry the next because she was still there making me crazy!!!

She grew up into a pretty amazing person---so as hard as it is, it is worth it!

Tell him congrats from New Mexico!

As for age, my Grandpa used to say Age is mind over matter if you don't mind, it don't matter!!

Today I wore a pair of my pants I had outgrown while taking the steroids....and I breathed normally doing so!! The weight went on in wierd places, and is coming off so differently than the first hundred times.....

Gotta go finish dinner!

Maybe someone else will relate to this......I am 15lbs away from what I weighed when I got pregnant with my children. But yet the pictures from then I look so much thinner than now. The only thing that looks right is my old drivers license. I have an old one that was about the same wight as I am now. But 15 lbs shouldn't be that drastic of a look. This weight is the weight I remember being for much of my teen yrs and up to my mid 30s. My brain is finally catching up to the difference between before LB and what I look like now. I am seeing a thinner me. I don't know maybe it's because of the way I am losing around my body that doesn't match old pics. Oh well. I just need to stop looking at old pics! lol

PJTP: I hate boring weekends at work... I'm never going to get to goal if I keep nibbling on the Cookies out of sheer boredom *sigh* I don't think even the 5km walk home tonight will make up for the number of cookies I've had today :).

Wow, it sure is quiet in here this weekend. I hope that means that everyone is out having a wonderful weekend. I, on the other hand, have spent a very lazy weekend around the house. I sent the boys (DH and DS) on a boys night out last night. They went to see WWE. I had the house to my self. Wow, it was so nice. They had fun and so did I.

      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
