Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. I'm SOOOOO eager to see the surgeon in April. It's approaching soon! :thumbup: I think I've been thinking about being banded more than I've been thinking about food. Now that's a good thing! :w00t:

Good Morning Y'all!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I started feeling better, so it was catch up for me with all the housework etc. I'm also trying to get things done for the our trip. I am so ready for it to get here.

We are expecting storms today. It was hot and humid yesterday, 82 but really muggy. I hope the storms misses us today though.

Well, just sticking my head in to say hello, I'm going to jump in the shower and get dressed for work.

Have a great day!

Kat, it's been a few days now get your a$$ back in here, or I'll get the monkeys from Mandy and send them out for you!

Mandy, good to see you back.

Sherry, we have more than one monkey!

Diane, call me when you get a chance to gab, sorry I forgot to call you on the way home the other day, gosh that was Thursday, I think, LOL. Anyway, call me.

Well girlies, I've purchased airline tickets for Ft Lauderdale next week, but we may switch to this week since it's supposed to rain everyday, but Thursday this week. I so need some Vitamin D..by way of sunshine!

I'm realllllly gonna finish getting my tax stuff together today, I'm so tired of all this chit sitting all over my desk. It seems every year it takes longer and longer.

Betty, I'm going to a bike rally in Nags Head, NC, the end of April, my husband is going to give me a refresher course on how to ride, OMG, it's been two years since I've driven my Harley. I'll be the oldest woman rider there, LOL.

Good Morning Y'all!

We had some wild weather yesterday, but it passed pretty quickly. We might be in for more today, but I hope not. I am not a fan of storms.

Kat - How are you feeling? I have been worried about you!

We have a big meeting this morning at work, so I am getting geared up for that. I am trying to figure out what I want to wear too. I think I will wear a skirt, unless I don't like it once I put it on, then I will go back to pants! lol

I have been shopping trying to get my stuff all in for the trip. I finally got my dresses, but now I have to find some shoes to match and some clutches to go with them. I think I will be all ready then, at least I hope so. I don't know that we are ever all ready, always something at the last minute.

Well, going to go find my outfit. Catch you all later!

        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!

      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
