Well done.

At least you are current (well sort of) I am still boiling my laundry over here! Someone recently invited me to join Facebook the other day. You don't think I was confused....at least I sort of knew what it was :omg_smile:

Loved it! Sad to see that the kind of stupidity I've seen in my life seems to exist all over. I would have loved to have been in Michael's when you quit via intercom. LOL

Thanks you guys.

That was so freeing. I had been there for three years at the time. It was fun. When I quit I heard a customer burst out laughing.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to write. I never understood the point of a blog but I decided I wanted one anyway.

I just joined Facebook, peek. It is confusing. I'm trying to learn it.

I didn't get Facebook for a long time, but I am finally enjoying it. I think more and more people I know are getting into it, so it makes it more fun.

I know what you mean. When I first joined, my cousin and I were (probably) the oldest people on it! I thought, nope, this isn't for me. But over time a few more people of my vintage joined...I'm still not overwhelmed with contacts, but for those of us who are on, 'tis fun.

Aw thanks tapshoes.

At my parents house we just got a lot of wind and a little rain. Maggie had a grand time with my mom's dogs, and my mom has a huge yard, I think almost 3 acres of land so she ran and ran and ran.

I cooked all weekend since my Mom is not much of one. She never has been, but I made lots of chicken and vegetables, which I love cooking so I really had fun.

When we came back into town our electricity was off but not for long, but their were trees and limbs down everywhere, thankfully our house was fine.

Thanks for checking in.

Glad to hear you and your house escaped unscathed; so many faced so much damage to their propoerty's. I cannot imagine that kind of devastation.

Glad your dog enjoyed the romping and you, the cooking. I hope your GF has now relxed - it must be terrible and very disabling to fear that much.

There are too many Tara Renees and I don't see your picture. You can add me. A search for Melissa Mickelson gives you my profile first. And my picture is there. I may come back later and remove my last name from this post. Or maybe not. We'll see. I love Facebook. Any fellow Febsters on there are welcome to add me as well.

        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
