I sure wish we could find a way to prevent the psychos from returning with new ID's. This one comes back as male, female, religious, agnostic, newbie, experienced, nurse, techie, non-technical old lady, etc. But you know what - we always figure her out because she can't hide her true nature.

And yeah I need to be around other WLS people too - it keeps me accountable.

True, there is only one of her. Thank goodness. She is pretty easy to spot. That is a good point.

And I was sure that you said the sky was made of pink cotton candy....:)

Nonono... that wouldn't be supportive. The sky is made of CHOCOLATE! :)

Yep, I'm back! Finally got back to Kentucky tonight. I am so freakin' glad to see my computer! I swear I was going through withdrawal!

I have to say, though, that the longer I was away, the more tempted I was to not come back. Once I got through the "must go to LBT" phase, I was amazed by how much less stress I was under. Honestly? The only thing that made me come back is that I have a bunch of amazing friends here now. I'm just trying to convince myself that all the crap will pass, just like it's done in the past. I'm just getting so sick of it.

And btw, it's so great to see all of y'all! I've was staying with my folks from around 12/14 till today. My parents' computer basically crashed (had a MASSIVE amount of viruses on it, according to the tech), so the only opportunity I had to get online was when I had the time to go to the local library or when I could get on my brother's computer when we were in Memphis for Christmas. Either way, didn't have a lot of time (managed to update my sig and check email, but that's about it).

Well Yeah!, As a newbie I found strength in those banded before me & hoped my millions of questions didn't piss off to many or chase away.

I just saw something else. Lizards and reptiles and things are back.

However, it's very good to see YOU back!!!

What are the crtiteria for being a "vet"?

I guess you got a sampling of opinions. It seems the consensus is.....it depends on the situation and the person. I guess we all agree that one person's opinion is as valuable as another's and that all support is welcome. I do not think lizards are deemons, however.:) I think they are entirely different species.:)

I am sitting here sipping on pineapple juice. It makes me mad that I can't get any Fiber in my diet. I was munching on a cucumber, tiny little bites and now it feels like I have razor blades in my esophagus.

Welcome back WasA and Lauren. And thank you for the Christmas card, Lauren. I don't do cards. I try to participate as little as possible with anything having to do with Christmas.:huytsao

You're very welcome! This was the first year that I sent out cards. My hand was hurting by the time I finished writing, so I'm not 100% certain that I'll do it again!

      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.
