And I have cravings for sweets! Oh wait... I was like that before Laura was PREGNANT!!!

Jenn....same weather here. It's 41 right now. I'm sure there is a layer of ice on the pool and the leaves are starting to change. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... I'm not ready for summer to be over yet!!!

The guy got 90% of the baseboards in yesterday and will finish up today. As long as I can keep the Bobster away from him, we do well. When they get together, it's talk, talk, talk, and no working........ MEN!!!

I have flute quartet rehearsal this morning, then a rehearsal with a lady from church who plays clarinet and then I will stay and get music ready for our first choir rehearsal next Wednesday. I bought new folders and got the names on them. Now just have to pick out the music for the first few Sundays so we can start rehearsing. My weight has been way up lately, but today it's down two pounds. Still no where near what my ticker says, but I'm not changing it til I get below what it says. I'm thankful to be over my eating binge day and hopefullyl that won't happen again, but at least the band doesn't allow me to do that on a daily basis. Nor will my conscience!!

Everyone have a great day! Kat...we grannies need to stick together. I registered on a baby site using my daughter's info, but my email address, so I get weekly updates on how "my" baby is doing. :thumbup:

Morning Ladies~ I am pooped! Last night, my dear friend from high school called at like 6:50pm...we got off the phone at 10:30, only cause my battery was getting too low. Appearently, we had a fight in senior year sometime...lol, I don't even remember...I just thought we "drifted apart" after HS. Anywho, it was great. LOL...she just left GC, whom we met together on Memorial Weekend in 1984!!! I met MD and she met and fell for GC...MD and I broke up after a few months, and she has been w/ GC the whole time. They just divorced 2 years ago.

Another busy day, I am thinking about the money. I spent a ton of money on clothes yesterday, and then found out Susanne is coming home tomorrow!!!:thumbup: Yeah, I am totally busted! I've taken off the tags (I bought 6 pair of capris and 3 shirts) and have hidden the items "among" my other clothes, we will see how long it takes to notice. We joke now that I can't get away w/ ANYTHING w/ her.

Laura~ I've thought about you all morning. I am soooo excited for you. I hope you get the unfil soon. Keep us posted, and any big news ladies....text me! Tracy totally saved me yesterday, cause I was gone all day, there was over 3 pages to read last night.

OK...off to play scrabble!!!

Laura-When I saw the pic of the test I cried. It brought back so many feelings in me. I remember how I felt when I saw mine. I am SO happy for you and your hubby. I wish I were there to give you a great big hug!!!

Laura - Sorry I didn't call you back yesterday. I lost track of time after I got to my mom's. We were buried in memories :thumbup:

Terry - that house looks awesome and it's not expensive at all! I would love to go there!

TracyK - thanks again for your text! I was still here at work but buried in paperwork like always. As soon as I got it I clicked right over here...

Judy/Jenn - I can't believe your summer is winding down already! That really sucks...

TracyKS - hopefully everything went okay last night. You doing better today?

I'm off for my coffee again... I'll be back later...

LAURA!!! I have goose-bumps!! I'm so thrilled to read your exciting news!!

I was gone all day yesterday and, ahem, did not receive my text message... & I've got that Verizon guy & his network w/me wherever I go, too. Harumph.

I was so glad when I read that you were going to call your fill doc back w/the new "development" to see if you can get your unfill sooner... I definitely think you need to. Oh, and get the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" -- it's fantastic!!

The house looks great -- I'm in! The Violets, a blender, and a baby... heaven!

I wasn't here yesterday because I was in Hershey, PA... we saw "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen in concert last night! It was great... mostly because he played my #1 fav all-time song "Rosalita"... it was a gorgeous night... & ds went with us... his 1st-ever rock 'n roll concert.

Make it a great day, Vi's!!

Home from my morning shift and Wally-World. Just finished my oatmeal and getting ready to head back out. Busy day and week for me.

TracyKS, Hoping that all went well last night. Keep us posted. I wish I knew what to say or do to make things better or easier for you. I hate that things aren't running smoothly, especially in your first year of marriage. I will keep you in my prayers. How was the first day at school?

Jane, I put on the green blouse last night and went and showed hubby, I was surprised but he really really liked it. Shock. I guess I was thinking that because he always sees me in t-shirts, that he wouldn't care for that style. He really liked it. I'm so excited and can't wait for my first time to wear it out. I have a coupon for Macy's for 20% off, think I'll go look at what they have. See what you have started. I miss you and can't wait till all 3 of us get together.

Everyone have a great day.

Good morning. I have been up and just sitting here. I didn't even go make coffee!!

Now I am up and moving.

I am so excited for you Laura!! Can't imagine how you must be feeling!!!

I am not going to be gone 13 hours like yesterday, but if something big happens somebody let Michelle and I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually I am a horrible texter it takes me about 5 minutes to post a message. I usually give my phone to somebody else and tell them what to text.

I have a list of things I need to do before work, so here I go!!

Have a great day!!!

Oddly enough, I'm not feeling what I think I "should" be feeling. I'm scared and depressed, and blah blah.. I'm sitting at work crying!

Y'know, Laura... What you "should" be feeling is what you see on TV and in the movies!! The reality is what you are experiencing and what we all experience as first-time mothers-to-be! It's S-C-A-R-Y!!! So don't sit there and think you are anything other than perfectly normal! Remember how nervous we were before surgery and everyone on the board was saying, "oh it's natural to be nervous, but it'll be just fine!...really!"?? Well, this is the same deal, sweetie. It's natural to be nervous...VERY nervous...AND depressed! Stress helps to cause depression!! Just take a deep breath and take it one day at a time. Very, very soon your anxiety will turn into something like bliss and you'll vacillate between the two for the next 20 years. :thumbup: HUGS!!

Laura-I 2nd what Terri said. It is a roller coaster of emotions that you will be feeling. Then add maybe morning sickness and peeing on yourself to the list and that should cover it. (or at least I did)

You are going to be such a great momma!

        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
