Sleeping quirks



Recommended Posts

kathystrick - I knew you were southern when you said you got "ill." I moved to Atlanta from Memphis and no one down here has heard "ill."

The rest of Y'ALL are cracking me up about sleeping! I hover b/w thinking the boogeyman will get my foot and "I'm hot and have to breathe!"

I start out on my left side but if I can't get to sleep, I go to the tummy. I have an idea that I might be a pillow flipper tho I've never put it into words! My mom irons her pillow cases b/c she likes the way they feel against her face! I prob would too but am too lazy!

Oh and one more thing - it's y'all and not ya'll. I'm so proud that everyone spelled it correctly!!! :-)

Haha! I have to admit that misspelling of "y'all" is a pet peeve of mine. I lived in Atlanta (Alpharetta actually) for 4 months last year! My husband and son decided it was time to move back home becasue they are "too country to live in the city".

That's hysterical! I grew up in small southern towns and definitely like the "big city" better! (Well taking out the traffic aspect, of course.)

Congrats on the surgery date! I just had my first visit with the surgeon Friday. I see that you're on Atkins - were you told to do Atkins or was that one option of many? j/w

PS - you + all = y'all!!! ;-)

I was told to do the Atkins, but got permission to do a sort of modified version. I have liquids all day and high Protein supper at night. I have lost 4.5 pounds since Wednesday! I just have to be sure to get at least 60 grams of protein per day. That has not been as hard as I thought it would be! I figured if I started doing mostly liquids now, the transition wouldn't be as hard after surgery.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
