Recommended Posts

I am so addicted to reading this site, It has been hard for me to get any work done at work. All I want to do is read this site, I don't have time to go online at home, but as soon as I walk in the office in the morning I log on and go on the site many-many times a day, look at me its 4:53pm and I haven't even gathered my things to go home, I love this site. Is anyone else addicted?

Can I just say "YES" really loud? My kids are propped in front of the TV, DH can't call me to let me know he's on his way home from work so I should make sure my cell phone is charged and on but I'm busy here... Okay, now I have to get up because the kids want to go outside and my 2 yr old has been gathering dirty clothes from his basket, bringing them to me to put them on because I told him if he wanted to go outside he can't be nekkid. Amazing what he understands but can't say. Come to think of it, he brought me pants, then a sock, then the other sock (both dirty) then a shirt all by himself. All he's missing is shoes but he's gotten distracted by the TV, and thank goodness or I wouldn't be able to make this post.

I am so addicted. Some days I'm happy just to be able to read up, other times, I can take the time to reply, but it has to be after 10:30pm when everyone is in bed, then usually the dishes need to be done and I leave them for the AM. Ya, it's bad.

Kathy, sounds like it's been very helpful to you! Your 2 year old is learning how to sort clothes and get dressed. Now if he can just get that vacuuming down.

Addicted...I'm taking the fifth amendment!

yeah and fortunely/unfortunely my DH got me a lap top for Christmas and put in a wireless router. So lap top sits on counter while I'm cooking, On lap when I'm in recliner after work, and sometimes on the bed. Oh well I love this site. Gonna see my family Dr. Tommorow to see if he will recommed to the insurance co on my behalf for the lap band.

      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.
