I go to the gym. I hated curves. I hated the music they played and I hated using the same machines over and over in a circle.

I love they gym. My gym has all the cardio machines hooked up to the tvs so I can watch tv while I work out. I also really enjoy the classes they have.

I was in the hospital 3 nights. My surgery was Wed. 4-29. I got home on 5-2. I went back to work on the next Tues. I could have gone back to work on Monday but there were some things I need to get done at places that aren't open in the daytime.

I am on full liquids. I did Clear Liquids for 10 days. I move to mushy this sat. He said if I do fine on full liquids I can move to mushy at a week instead of 10 days.

I feel great! Have already lost 10 lbs so that makes me happy.

Does the ticker work now!?!? If so, this is what has been happening since 10/14/08. And I have a question for the group here, what do you do for an evening snack? Please, no fruit or shakes. Thanks for the suggestions!

They did -- I bought some at the grocery the other night -- I haven't tried them yet; but when I do, I'll let you know how they are -- there are 2 different flavors in each box - and at Albertson's there were 3 different boxes - so 6 flavors -- I bought 2 boxes (they were on sale 2/$4)... I may have one tonight as I actually have the house to myself ... DBF is at a meeting and our company (his daughter and her boyfriend) headed down to Fremont Street for the evening. I'll keep you posted! LOL

Okay - I just had a raspberrylemonade crystal lite popsicle -- they are VERY good ... think I may be stocking up on them (thank goodness for the freezer in the garage!) while they are on sale ... once DBF finds them, they won't last as long -- he figures if one is good, two is better and believes that thought process is okay since they are "sugar free" :-)

In the box with the raspberrylemonade is lemonade. I also got raspberry iced tea (I think) and peach tea ... I'll keep you updated on how they taste if anyone is interested.

The PS I got was a brachioplasty--arm lift. I was able to tighten most of my 57 year old body, but those batwings ? Hated them. So now, I am wrapped from wrist to shoulder. I know I will have scars, but it was a trade-off.

While I was under, I also got a Mastopexy (breast lift) and a small implant added.

I didn't have children so I spent the money on me!!! hahaha

I can shower this evening...I am anxious to see the results when I take off the bandages. AND nervous!!

I'm having band on June 1, but my daughter had hers last year and is going for first PS June 4, lower body lift, breat reduction and fat implants into but. The arms and back fat/skin and a small implant will be next year. Very nervous about her being on an operating table for 8 hours but the doctor is a very well known and reputable doctor so I just have to trust that everything will be okay.

Good luck to you. The arms might be the only thing I will do and may be able to do the one where the incision is actually in the armpit instead of down the arm.

Again, congrats and speedy healing

I got the raspberry and peach tea as well. I thought they were very good. I will be looking for them on sale. I can't remember what I paid at Walmart, but I am pretty sure it was over $3 a box and it was the small box.

I am so glad to find a box of something that has no orange! Popsicle brand has orange in the regular flavor and the tropical flavor. I love the pineapple ones in the tropical box.

      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.
