Pic time!

Got my first robe (not Natori, I loved this color and it was cheaper :P)

And I wore one of the ASTR bodysuits yesterday, on a date. Paired with high waisted jeans

Second robe has arrived. I think I like the long length best. Going to buy a 3rd to leave at boo's (yes, shopping might be my transfer addiction :P)

Definitely like the longer kimono one - keep it! I’ll try to get a photo of the Natori robe tomorrow, I’m loving the drape on it and also it’s got pockets. I love pockets.

I’m hitting this really weird phase where I’m just terribly bored all the time. I’ve had about six months where mental activity/planning has been a huge component of my life - buying property, dealing with a friebd’s sickness, adjusting to a new role, a lot of travel. Prior to that was the whole pre/post op obsession, probably another good 9 months. And now I expected to sort of settle back into my pre-chaos life and I’m really not the same person anymore, somehow?

Nothing has really changed, I’m just no longer as content as I used to be with my own company. I’m feeling much more of an urge to socialize and just be OUT. I take huge long walks with the dog in a whim. I’m even going to have to canvas my friends for photos of me to put on dating apps - not necessarily to find The One, but to just provide myself with entertaining things to look forward to. Meh! I thought IF would turn out to be an entertaining distraction but turns out it’s pretty easy.

Anyone else hitting this sort of wall 9 months out? It’s like I’ve been engaged in a fascinating science experiment much of the year and my letdown isn’t diet fatigue or lack of inspiration, it’s more “well NOW WHAT?!”

I'm right there with you, it was around this same point when I began to realize I should start dating again...

That may be part of why I'm looking for a new job.

I'm looking for a boyfriend, job in another country, new set of children (even trade ?), Star Trek conventions, bellybutton piercing, plastics, pole dancing classes, homesteading, bullet journaling, dungeon and dragons clubs...

What I need is to go to the gym 😁

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
