Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

Thanks, do you buy these at Big 5 kind of stores? Any athletic store? I think I'll get one and get another cardio workout during my soaps! I wish LBT burned calories:rolleyes:

I remember a "tip" I once read that made good sense to me...maybe it was here on LBT. You make a deal with yourself something like, "No LBT until I do 30 minutes on the <insert torture device here>." A reward for your hard work. Work, then play. In YOUR case, you could say no more "O"s until I do 30 minutes on the...." That'll get your butt motivated!!

I got mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. Walmart carries them, but I don't think they are as good qualitywise.

And I DO get exercise from LBT. I sit down and get out of this chair at least 100 times a day!

Pam have you never seen Fried Green Tomatoes? Shame on you if you haven't (and I command you to go get it!), if you have..remember when Evelyn got the trampoline? I always think of that when people mention trampoline exercises.

DH is worried, sayin he gonna come home and take me to the clinic. I told him I was going to go, but 1. I can't drive in this state 2. I am in tears just thinking about how horrible the wait will be.. so he insists on comin home early to take me. And so I called all the clinics, no one is takin appt's today because they are 'so backed up'. On a good day, it takes at least 3 hours.. I just can't do it. I told him to bring me home ice cream and I'm going to continue to ride it out. My fever is finally breaking (first time in days!) tylenol some reason hasn't been workin till now. I'm sweating and burning up and it's 65 in the house. I've got chicken Soup cooking right now, I ran out of chicken & stars last week (doh).. so I'm making homemade. I threw it all in the pot and letting it do its thing. I still haven't done my homework, and since we have a week to do homework, no late assignments are acceptable. It's due tomorrow, so if I don't manage to get to it today, fingers crossed I feel better tomorrow.

Jen I got the coat today, thank you so much! I haven't tried it on (as I mentioned, I'm really hot right now!!). It's very nice, but did I mention I have 3 long-haired white cats? Hah hah, I had a coat similar to this one, was my fav. coat. It currently is on the floor in my office at work just disgustingly covered in cat hair. I try my best, but black doesn't work in my house.. especially black wool or black velvet.

Oh and my scale said 241lb today, so that is the upside to being sick. But I am not updating my ticker, cause as soon as I can taste food again I'm going to gorge :smile:

Wow! I was nervous there for a minute! That was a very "loaded" question ("What do you do on the tramp?") and you just never know how Judy will answer things! :smile:

Laura, I seriously doubt there is much they can do for you at the doctors office.... you have the flu. It's a virus and they can't give you any kind of pill for that! Just call and ask what you should be taking. Try some Thera-flu tea? Hot tea with honey and lemon? chicken Soup is a good bet. Just lots and lots of fluids, ok? It will help to keep that gunk flowing out of your head and chest. Mucinex is an expectorant...it loosens the congestion in your chest, that's all. You need a decongestant for your head and Tylenol for your aches and pains...or children's Motrin would be even better. Oh, and Chloroseptic for your sore throat.

        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
