Recommended Posts

So, today I am experimenting with different juice "shakes" and I am sitting here sipping this new one I made up and kept thinking to myself how to make it better. I do that withe EVERYTHING, drinks, food etc. I can't 'eat' something and not think of how to make it better next time. Even if it is perfectly good the first time around!!! My hubby says its my OCD that does it, I say its just the fact I am a anal perfectionist (he says 'whats the damned difference').

So there you have it, even my homemade Protein Shakes aren't safe from my brain. Damn I need another hobby, I shoulda never ever taken that job as assistant chef in the early 90's, it only made my perfectionism worse.

So, was it any good? And, when are you going to share the recipe? I wouldn't mind taking the protein-shake-advice from a shoulda-been-a culinary master!

Hehe I swear I responded to you, I swear I did .. but its gone ....

So what I said was:

When I have it perfected I will share it. Today its ok, not great, just ok. Tomorrow I might add some rosemary or a mint leaf or two. But today its just ok....

I do the same thing with food. I don't make very many drinks, but I do this with food all the time. DH laughs at me because he says he feels like he is being interrogated while eating, about flavor, consistency, etc. I don't even realize I do it that much.

      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. 🤞
