THanks Michelle: I am supposed to take it easy tonight. So, dinner is not an option. BUMMER!! I am breaking the rules by even being online. LOL!!! I do it for short periods of time. I get bored easily. If I had workout clothes with me I would go to the gym here. LOL!! And I am being tortured cause there is a starbuck's just down the street (within walking distance) but it is raining. GRRRRRRRRRR!!! That is just wrong.

Glad to hear you are doing OK

I'm real close by if you need anything

Hi Penni. Glad things went well & you're feeling up to typing. I caught you cheating on the pill thread! I hope your recuperation (sp?) continues to go smoothly.

Best wishes,

Karen

someone needs to tell Penni that rain should never be a factor whether to go to Starbucks or not. In Seattle we never let the rain stop us from doing anything.

I say "tell" because SHE SHOULD BE RESTING THOSE PEEPERS OF HER!

Hugs Penni, and I'm glad things went well!

OK I stand corrected about the rain. But I couldn't go out in it with the eye surgery. LOL!!

The whole thing took about 5 min. The prep time was longer than anything including the drive to the clinic. That took 15 to 20 min. Then wait for them to give instructions; then wait to be taken back; then wait for the surgeon to come and talk to me. Then 5 min to get lased. LOL!!

Cute little goggles put on. Pics coming later.

Then go to hotel room lie down for 2.5 hours and sleep. Then get on computer which was a NO NO! But I had to check in with you wonderful people. Ordered room service that night. Went to bed sorta early. WITH GOGGLES ON!! ARGH!!

Next day travel back to Clinic to be checked out and to put on the cute little loaner glasses to protect my eyes for 5 days. PIC to follow. I hate them of course. John says I look very professional in them. I told him to not get used to them cause they are history. Then home now.

Oh I have 20/15 distance vision now. WHOO HOO!! Monovision is the bomb. I can't even tell I had anything done other than perfect vision now. Crisp, clear, and so much better. I can read 20/20 where I couldn't before.

Anyone in the area and need a good reference for Lasik surgeon just let me know. I will be happy to give a referral.

Hi Penni,

Sending good wishes your way, let us know the outcome of your eye surgery. I have considered but wanted to do the lapband first.

Good luck with the surgery Penni. I wish I was a candidate for that type of surgery, but I am not. I had to get Progessive lenses now for my glasses. I love them.

        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
