What fabulous, amazing news Kendra!! WOOHOO, that's great!!!!!:party:Knew you would get better. Your doctors may be surprised but I'm not. Your positive energy was bound to kick those tumors to oblivion! I'm really glad that you're handling the chemo OK. Before you know it, the rest of those tumors will be long gone!

I think your Dr's forgot about the positive effect of the boot "stomping and kicking"!

Great news Kendra, so happy for you that the treatment is going so well. Keep up the good work and your happy positive attitude.

As always, I appreciate the words of encouragement and support! I'm feeling pretty bloated right now, I guess because of all the steroids they pump into me to help with the side effects of chemotherapy. However, I'm feeling well otherwise and should be ready to go back to work tomorrow. I only teach from 8 to 11 so I'll have all afternoon to rest, if needed.

Our son came out to visit from California for the weekend. It's the first we've seen him since before Christmas. There's a chance he'll be going to Iraq this summer but if not, we hope to go see him in San Diego and our daughter in Denver in August. I truly hope to be done with chemo by then but we'll just have to see what the scans show.

I hope y'all are doing well and looking forward to a thinner summer! :unsure:

Good luck on your first day back at work! :) If they don't behave themselves, you now have this amazing boot to kick them you know where!!! :blink:

Great news about your son coming home, shame about Iraq though. How long has it been since you've seen your daughter? As I said before family and friends are so important at a time like this. Enjoy! :biggrin2:

We haven't seen our oldest daughter since Christmas either so we're definitely going to go see her in August!

My students are wonderful and require no kicking! They're all on my side, too, so they look out for me. I can't believe how quickly we bonded but it's a great class! :scared2:

Take care, Sades! :tongue:

Oh, my students aren't kids! I teach at community college so my students are all adults. The program I'm teaching this summer is a college prep program, getting them ready for the math entrance test. There were 500 applicants for the program and only 30 got in. I have 15 of them and they all happen to be women. All of them are working on two-year degrees in the medical field except one who wants to be a computer network administrator. They are very hard-working and motivated -- a teacher's dream class! :biggrin2:

      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
