I am currently a stay at home mom and I have recently started a bakery business that is starting to take off. In my past life I was an Interior Designer for a large firm in Houston. When my son, who is now 4 going on 14, goes to school I will most likely go back to Design because that is where my heart is.

isn't it hard working in a bakery and not wanting to eat everything in sight???? Sounds like a wonderful job- with wonderful smells all day long.

So Drama Queen, I am currently looking for floor plans to build my dream home, will you be on board to help with the interior designing when we are done building??? Just keep in mind that I'll be broke and won't be able to afford you, LOL...Oh man, I couldn't work in a bakery, breads, cakes and donuts are my weakness...I would probably weight a ton is I ran a bakery, It would probably go broke from me eating all the goods...

So juju where does your screen name come from??? My three year old son's nickname is JuJu. That is so funny that your screen name is the same as his nickname. My four year old called him that cause she couldn't pronounce Jr. So now everyone calls him JuJu, even everyone at daycare.

      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.
