Tracy - ok should have seen the post before I went to bed...

I was up 10lbs last night LOL... as i'm poking my tummy that is hard and big from the gas and I've had 9 l iters of Fluid and hardly gone to the bathroom. My fingers and feet are tiny so I just laughed at myself

You guys are doing great! So proud of all of you - can't wait to get surgery weight off and maybe start eating lke a normal person. I can't wait to make that Soup

Guess what guys, the counter top people called yesterday, they will be over for a final measurement Monday to make cuts and I'll have counter tops next week. My electrician came and upgraded my service so i can have my ovens hooked upand I just need to grout the floor and the kitchen will be 100% complete next week.

I'm going to cancel my hair appt for today at 11, i'm bummin but i hurt so not going.

Hope you all have a great day

I pee really well after surgery lol. I remember the revision surgery they said I had to pee before I could leave, so I go to pee in the bowl so they can measure it, and I filled up the entire bowl, it was like a 1/2 gallon! The nurse was shocked.

Take your pain meds Jenn!!

Woohoo Tracy, I will live vicariously through your weight loss. I won't even tell ya'll how much I weigh now, it's depressing. My only comfort is that as soon as Carson is here, I am tightening up the band and it'll all work out.. right?

I picked up poor Gracie from the vet, after we dropped Russ' car off this morning. She was sedated luckily for the enimas, but they said they had to go in and scrape so she is on pain meds.. she's all big-eyed. Can't imagine what that feels like, hopefully Apollo will let her rest.

After we go pick Russ' car back up, someone from Craigslist is coming to pick up one of our old tv's. Giving it away for free, just want to get rid of it.. wish we had someone else to help move the furniture out of the nursery, gah I am so irritated it's still not done!!!

My parents leave for the bahamas this morning for a poker tournament my dad won a trip into, when they get back me & mom will be shopping for nursery furniture. I'm so ready to get it set up!

I have told you all how bad I retain water! I DID NOT LIE.. I was so dehydrated yesterday and I was in the bathroom ALL DAY........ that is why it is so important for me to drink my water...I will no doubt be stuck now, but I don't care.... yesterday the scale read 197 and today it was 190........ still a far cry from the 174 I was a couple months ago.... but it does do my mind good that I'm heading away from the dreaded 200 mark.

This was the wake up call...... that and all of you who are being good....

I'm posting video's on my blog every day of this test... today was no makeup hair in pony tail...... LOL but its real life me.

The lemon tonic was potent.. I did put a bit of honey and two packs of splenda in it to get it down...... now I'm on to my coffee.... I plan to have the Soup all day.

I have a baby shower AND a holiday party with former co-workers...... so it will be a true test of will power to just drink water....... WISH ME LUCK.......I hope to see the 180's tomorrow.

I don't know if I was unifilled at all, it was not discussed, but my egg is not getting stuck - going down slow but not stuck, i bet my insides were so swollen that it was causing problems with my band, i have not been able to choke anything down without getting stuck for 3 months and have not had a fill since right before our trip.

For those who made the Soup. You have to use Tofu? or what can you sub for that?

It i so cold out, and how nice my neighbor's son in saw snow blowed for me... and date guy offered to come up and help me out if it needed to be done again today - and take me anywhere i needed to go

Jenn: I was reading the LAwls thread and someone asked that same question. They said you could double the ham.

I had my first bowl of Soup. I am taking some with me for lunch (baby shower) I need to get started on my water.. although I did have 3 cups of the lemon tonic Water, a biggee for me... no diet pop today... no good ass gourmet food that will be served tonight.. (my former boss is like Michelle with the cooking genius gene) this is her annual party.... first time that I've gone since Charles and I have been together. Lots of former co-worker friends.

Anyway.. gotta go dry my hair and start getting ready

        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
