Me too--slept late, felt wonderful.. Got up, and caught up to Tracy, got all my housework done-----made me some Jello, hung out on the computer awhile, been half reading/half watching TV.....just relaxing. Just noticed, it began snowing---aarrgghh!!! Go away Winter!

Rick should be home in a few minutes---then not sure if we are gonna hang out for the day or catch a movie and a burger. Speaking of movies, hope Pamela's snuggly movie date was a good one. I'd ask what they saw, but wouldn't want to embarass her if she couldn't remember!!! LOL

Michelle---80 pounds-------how amazing is that?! Next time you are in the store, go try to see if you can begin to life a 50 pound bag of dog food! Imagine you carried that and another 30 pounds around every single day, every single step! No wonder you are not being recognized!!! Great job!

Tracy---I bet Macy is ready to see Mommy too!! Kinsey spent the weekend with her Dad---Manda called this morning, and is also ready for her girls back---Lindzie is with her Mom. Is one of the rare weekends both girls are gone together. Ryan leaves today for WY for a week---Manda is a bit worried about it---with Lindzie's asthma having been acting up. But they have dealt with it before.

Abbey wanted us to come help them build a fence---her DH is NOT a handyman! But with the weather, not looking like it is gonna happen this weekend. Their neighbor moved out, and the Daughter took the house over, and has a big boat, they have to use Abbey & Rhetts drive way to get it out, but it bottoms out and is chipping up the drive way----so he refuses to talk to them about it, instead is building a fence! I think he lives his life that way---instead of working things out, he builds people out-------not too sure about the boy!

So it is awful quiet in here---must be a busy weekend for everyone!!

Check in girlies, let us know all is well!!

Hugs~

Michelle and Laura, Congrats to both of you. Truly inspiring.

Weather was nice enough to go to the park today and walk. It felt great. Took doggy with us and he had a ball. Came home and sat outside with the kitties.

Tomorrow it's back to losing weight again These last 3 days have been atrociuos (SP?). Out of control. So this is a warning to all. Water patrol is back on duty.

Have a great evening.

Michelle -- woohoo! 80 is fantastic!

Suzie -- I am with you - back to basics -- Water, water, water.

Adorable -- that is great -- look at how many homes are in the process of being built around you -- are they all the same builder?

Hope all had a great weekend!

        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
