DeLarla, How are You Feeling?



Recommended Posts

I got good news today. Mary hadn't seen the wound in a week, but today she said it was smaller and looked really good. The bandage is bright green, a funky neon color, but she said it's not infection. Kinda like some chemical reaction from the peroxide, like I know what I'm talking about?

Paula, a woman told me to soak the bandage in collidal silver. She told me her father had cancer and a wound wouldn't heal till they used the collidal silver, and she swears it healed him.

I laughed a lot today! Then again, I drank a lot today. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! Thanks for all the nice thoughts.

What Mary told you is DEFINATELY on the 'up' side! You certainly needed to hear that today! Good good news!

***warning, this is waaaaay off thread topic***

ok, got a true story to share with you regarding the collodial silver...

when we started using it (about 4 years ago), we were told how easy it was to make. So, since we were using it so often, we decided to give it a try. I call this lady in Iowa state (a friend told me about her) to get the directions on making it. She and I got into a big conversation on the many different ways we use it. She told me that she would pour about 1/2 cup of collodial silver into her pigs Water trough (weekly) and it would keep the green slime from forming *AND* her pigs never had worms.

True story.

This is going to go off topic as well, but I need to share about this beautiful 14 year old in my neighborhood. She's one of the girls that visits me (last night I had all the teens and their parents here for a little party.)

Sarah honestly looks like model material, but she has "gauges" in here ears. Gauges are the huge plugs that kids are putting in their ears now (like African tribes make huge hanging holes in their ears.)

Sarah's wears huge bolts from dad's garage in here ears - the holes are like dimes now. So last night I ripped of my bandage to show her my hole (I was trying to prove a point.) She freaked and thinks my hole is so disgusting but I asked "what's the difference considering what you've done to your ears?"

I doubt I made any impact, but at least I tried.

      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.
