I hope you are back to normal come Monday, Leatha. It sounds like you have been totally miserable. Hope the switch in medications goes well, too.

Thanks Rebecca! Thanks everyone for putting up with my sniveling. This has been an awful week. I haven't been so sick in a long time. Today, I can breathe easy, my fever seems to have disappeared, there are some lingering sorta transient aches in my ears, so I suspect the sinuses are not totally clear, but I'm on my way to recovery. It's funny how all things hit at once.

I had spent last week in St Louis with a co-worker who I know had been sick for the week before AND the week we were there. I'm sure she passed it along to me and goodness knows how many clients. YIKES. I flew home on Friday, went out Saturday night, had company Sunday evening and by bedtime Sunday night I was burning up with fever and had lost my voice all within an hour. Unfortunately, I had an appointment already made for the next day to work on this med change, so I couldn't hardly postpone it. So here I am with this great big ball of wax to hopefully get all straightened out. This is how I work, no pressure unless I can get ALL the pressure at one time, that way I can just be superwoman for short periods only.lol. :(

Thanks for all your support and suggestions. Special thanks to Marie for pming me home remedies which helped me on my worst night. :P

Yes Paula. I'm still sitting on 181.2. :( I need exercise!

Yea, the problem, Michelle is the coumadin. I really have to be careful adding or taking away from the meds I take on a routine basis. :P It sucks, especially if you become ill enough to need some relief.

        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
