Big thanks to you LBTers!!



Recommended Posts

Just want to thank you all. I started a new job working nights and with the new schedule and being nervous I had a hard time with eating and found myself PBing quite a bit. My day off I figure I'll be okay with eating, but my throat was tender and my chest hurt and I would burp a lot even drinking my Propel Water. Even herb tea would not pass without pain. Scared me, but I read on here about trying Aloe juice so thought it can't hurt to try. Picked up some this morning and took the 2 oz. Been sipping water, tea and a Protein soy drink all day and have been feeling so much better!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Yep, Kelly's the gal with the info! It's working for me, too. I feel oh so slightly better with my self-diagnosed esophogitis. So I am keeping at it with the Aloe Vera juice and the Prilosec. Great combo!! Yay Kelly! Happy for you too, Darcey. So do you like you new job and schedule? other than the food/eating issues, that is!

Special thanks to you Kelly!!!! Hugs and many blessings to you!

Kathy-Yes, I do like my job and the new schedule. Just trying to get used to it. I now work from 6:45 pm to 7:15 am Sun, Mon, Tues and every other Wed. Luckily my first week I got the short week so I'm having a 4 day weekend right now! Yay! Job is very interesting. Think it's going to work well once the eating issues are worked out. Thanks!

Hi Teresa,

I would love to you meet up with you and Tracey (and the new baby), but I'm working nights so I'll be at work then. My schedule is 6:45 pm to 7:15 am Sun, Mon, Tues and every other Wed (this will be my long week).

Thanks for the invite! Hope all is well with you. Tell Tracey hi for me.

        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
