I'm back to defend my taste in chicken. It wasn't exactly like taffy; more like wood chips. You know you're in trouble when they bring a steak knife with your chicken breast!

WABB, are you ready for some PAPPADOUX's???? I can order one of their meals and know I have my food shopping done for the week!

By the way, I am off to sign up for a beginning Spanish class, so when we have to ask directions next time we're south of the border, we can actually understand their answer.

Ohhhhhh, Pappadoux's! That sounds GOOD! I just hope their food is as good as in Mexicali~

I can go in six days or later. Tomorrow I start the 5 day pouch test.

Or.... maybe I should do the 5DPT after Pappadauxs....

I don't care, you let me know when.

Do your pouch test first. We are headed to Tucson this weekend for our anniversary, so later next week would be fine for me.

WasA, I have to follow you all over the board.

I have support group tonight and I want to ask that damn nurse which test I have to demand to have. When I called to tell them about this night time acid reflux, she gave me nexium and told me not to worry about it.

She said if I had band problems, I would have problems in the day time too.

Then somebody posted that they were fine in the daytime like me, could eat whatever they want in small portions, but had the acid reflux at night. she said it turned out she had a slip.

Sounds great!

I started to do the 5DPT today but have a nasty case of gastritis and solid foods kills the pain. (ouch) So I'll try the test again tomorrow and see if it works.

Later next week is ideal! I'll be ready for GOOD food by then. cheese logs! I know, they are called cheese sticks but you saw those things, weren't they good??? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Can't wait for you to come home!

Happy anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many years???

You know, a sleeve can tolerate a lot more than a band but even a sleeve couldn't tolerate that kind of wood chips. It was bad. Don't tell Snowbird I told you that, but it's true. :biggrin:(

lol...ok I won't tell! :mellow:

I am pretty sure my band is completely worthless right now, but even I don't want wood chips...lol...

I heard that! OOOHHHH, cheese logs. MMMMMMMMM. And you can hold the steak knife.

Monday is our 31st anniversary. And don't tell my husband, but he only has about 22 lb left to lose and I think he is looking kinda cute right now.

Maybe I'll tell him myself.

You look pretty darn good yourself too! Wish I could come and eat with you guys! Those mozzarella sticks were yummy. Even though just one made me so full, I wanted to eat all of them.

Hey, Denise! Thanks! You need to come back down for a visit! I'm sure the weather here is a whole lot better than the weather there.

Believe me, if I had my way, I'd be there all winter. I wonder if my daughter would let me take my grandbaby.

So Wasa, how's the 5DPT? BBK, how are things going? I've lost track of your cosmetic surgery woes, but hope everything is fine now. Wasa and I went to Mexicali for CS consults, but I have decided I can't afford it right now. With the stock market and everything else, I'm afraid my husband would start crying if I really pushed to take anything from savings right now.

Denise, I saw that Southwest was offering $85 flights from Seattle to Phoenix last week on their Ding program. Didn't check the prices from Portland. You should come down for a few days!

I had a bout of duodenitis and the only way to make the pain better was to eat solid foods. I kept it at mostly solid Proteins but crackers went down so easy. ;o) I am now on day #2 of the 5DPT.

Mmmmmmm, Papadeauxs cheese sticks and shrimp cocktail... doesn't it sound good!?!? Next week, is that good for you?

Know what I am doing? I'm a volunteer nurse on a police forum, when the guys are injured I explain the treatments, what the drugs are for, etc. Well, I know police officers from all over. Tomorrow night (Friday) I am doing a ride along with the Goodyear police dept. They are having a DUI check point. He said they always get a lot of good arrests there. Half the shift will be the DUI check point and the other half will be with a K9 officer.

I think it will be fun!

I hope the dog likes me. :smile:/

Glad you're feeling better; next week is fine for me. I just started a spanish class on Thursdays, so any day but that (Donde esta el Hospital Almater?)

See if you can find a cute policeman for yourself tomorrow night, although I usually prefer firemen.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
