I had'nt planned on going but Vicki you twisted my arm lol..so yes, i'll bring a batch of low cal chocolate chip cookies! :thumbup:

How about if everyone bring something lite/low cal to share? We could always do a recipie swap.

Hey all

I finally lost a lb yesterday and wouldn't get on the scale this am, went to applebees last night with a friend, had a drink, which ok, that was the good part, had a few chips with spinach dip and a steak and mashed potatoes, ate 1/2 of it there and finished it off when I got home and it was settled in.... I hate reheating food.

I suck too, that is bad of me

I am going to an appointment then heading to the gym to get some weights in, maybe a walk later, i'm tring to be realistic with exercise, but it is beautiful here today so I'll probably walk

Rain, have a great trip, looks like the weather hear is going to suck so your leaving at the right time...

Jenn, sometimes we have to be human and just eat a nice dinner out with friends and family as long as we are not sitting and eating a whole cake with a gallon of ice cream, I think it is ok once in a while to splurge.....I have that horrible heart burn again.I got filled 2 weeks ago so why is the heart burn comming back now??????????:thumbup:

You could be too tight or maybe its something with what you ate. I've been suffering with heartburn too which is why I had another UNfill last wed. So Dr Hoff put me on that 5 day pouch test.. It helped alot and heartburn went away but when I ate some really soft roast it seem to come back. So I think that really solid meats like roast and chicken breast is just not going to work for me :crying:

I hope they feel better Vicki. I had'nt made the Cookies yet so i'll wait maybe until the next meeting. Since the meetings have been in the cafeteria area we should do a healthy potluck there after one of the meetings..just a thought...

Yeah, i was ok with it when I ate 1/2 there, it was finishing it off that made me feel gross.

Hope the family feels better!

It is all a mind game, all of it. I am convinced of that, the last 30 came off only because I really wanted it with every ounce of me. I know the scale is not moving but I also know I'm gaining muscle and inches, so I'm not going to let the numbers get me down

thanks everyone. they just came back from the doc and he says he doesn't think it is swine flu, just a really bad cold. I cleaned up the house for her and did laundry and put Jadon down for a nap so I am home now and maybe go back later. we will see...

Yea, I thought if I was too tight the heart burn would have started right away after the fill but I will go on a bland diet and see if it calms down... the iced tea started aggravating it again so I will stop drinking that.. I cannot eat chicken breast or dryer denser meats either BigGurl, they just don't want to go down..Hope this goes away, I really don't want to go get unfilled AGAIN!!!!! but I will if I have to cause this sucks big time.....

Ice tea kills me, I just don't have a desire for it most of the time, now hot sauce, or anything hot, I can't do that, heart burn is horrible, so I really have to be in the mood to make it worth dying for a night or 2. LOL

Glad it is just a cold

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
