Sorry I have not been around girls---with my drains in, sitting upright was not a good feeling!

They come out yesterday morning, and Pat you are so right, I felt wonderful!!!!

Then come last night. I am on antibiotics for preventative measures, and them combined with my tight compression led to a bout of reflux. Right into my lungs--I woke up in a full blow panic, choking for air, and coughing is to say the very least extremely painful, let alone coughing for hours on end. I spent the night choking, coughing, crying and repeat---------absolute misery!

When I saw the Dr. yesterday he was telling me about a surgery he was doing today in Albq. so he is unavailable------I have been in touch with my PCP-------but nothing is helping much.

My belly button is aching like no other!

I will be back to share some pics and hopefully an improving scenario soon.......for now I am going to go try to get warm, and relax, to avoid coughing.

Hugs--and thanks for the continued good wishes my friends!!

Kat

Kat, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time, ugh! I haven't had any pains with the new belly button, but believe it or not, I'm still tender, not painfully so, but tender where the Lipo was done.

Hugs girlie.

Diane, sorry I missed the call, I was selling raffle tickets at a fund raiser for the House of Delegates, at his golf tournament. We had lots of fun and wonderful food, lots of seafood, even soft-shell crabs.

Jetti, you're looking so good.

Sherry, I was in a slump with wl for over a year, then dropped quite a bit before the Tummy Tuck. It will happen.

Hugs girlies, going to bed.

Nity nite!

Good Morning Y'all!

It's Friday! Yeah! While it was a short week, it seems like it has been two weeks long for me.

Kat - Sorry you are feeling so bad, hopefully you are better today. Hugs!

Diane - No, I am not used to my laptop yet, but then I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it. Most of it is just me leaving my cursor somewhere and not realizing I am doing something I didn't mean to do. But I love the idea I can carry it outside and work with it. I don't have to stay put in one place.

Pat - You need to post a few more pictures now that it has been a while.

Sherry - Hang in there, sooner or later you will start losing again.

Eileen - Are you in that pool yet?

Mandy - Have you been out riding your bike?

I know I am missing some but my clock says run do not walk to the shower. Work calls and I have to go.

Catch you all later!

Good Morning Y"all!

I'm up an at it early this morning, it's going to be hot and I want to get some things done before the heat sets in.

I was up late, and then didn't sleep good so it's going to be a challenge for sure.

What's everyone doing today?

Jessica you are doing so great with your wl!

Kat - Glad you are doing better!

Well, going to get moving!

      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.
