Morning gals

quick check in, i'm late

Kat - I don't wish a layoff on anyone.. I know how tough it is, but it would be horrible if you coulnd't go, but understandable

Jane - well, isn't that something to think about......

I know when I found some inner peace was when I was ready for surgery, I was physically cleared in October the previous year

have a good day everyone

Good Monday Morn, Vi's~~

Fingers crossed for Rick, Kat!

Janie... "do do do do do do do do" (Twilight Zone music, cantcha tell?)

Up & have given Mo his 2nd bath in 2 days... the first one didn't really get the job done... he's so funny... he just kind of floats around in the tub w/a puzzled look on his face, like "what are you doing to me NOW?"... silly boy... but he is out of quarantine & so now we shall see what happens... I was crying last night listening to him meow in his sad little way when he was back in the bathroom... I'm afraid that even after all this, I think I know how it all may end, & maybe sooner than we'd like... :thumbdown:

I actually have paying work again! Hallelujah! So it finally feels like the New Year has Really started!

Make it a great day, Vi's!

Good Morning, Violets..

I'm nursing a darn good cold. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and slept til 7:30 this morning. I'm not even going to get out of my jammies today. Ethan is here and he's playing baseball on the Wii. It's amazing to watch him and see how much he knows about it already.

Kat.. fingers are crossed and prayers offered that Rick doesn't get laid off.

Janie.. I agree with your calendar. Ya gotta love yourself first and foremost. We all love you so that's a good start!

TracyK.. hope you get that miracle at the doc's today.

Michelle.. congrats on the weight loss!! wooo hoooo, you're doing great!

I am so glad I did the day pouch test. It sure put me in the right mindset to get this thing done once and for all. My eating has changed drastically and I have not had sugar for over a week and have been lo-carbing it as well. I feel like I am in control once again and it's a great feeling.

I was looking at flights again last night and I'm going to leave from Detroit so I have a non stop flight to Alabama. I'm not messing around with those short hops that can get delayed or cancelled.

Time to go medicate myself for the day. Everyone have a great one!!

HELLO, PAMelA!!

If you're serious, then I'll do it, Terri.

You did such a great job last year, I can understand if you'd like to simply enjoy this trip. Maybe we can rotate each time? I like to organize things... & I'm sure getting this group coordinated will be a challenge!

Let me know... + any advice from you, the master, will be welcomed!

I sent out an e-mail, I think everyone was copied??? I am less than a mile from the airport, so I can shuttle people back and forth and/or provide a place to hang out while we wait. It's Huntsville International Airport (HSV) and it's a small airport, so no worrying about who comes in what terminal (it is one terminal) so you'll all be coming in on the same hallway.

I think we figured this in, in the beginning, but with my NEW FANCY SCHMANCY CAR.. it's very roomy, I can hold 2-3 adults, plus Carson and me. Depends on how cozy someone wants to get (for 3 people) with the car seat. I mean for going down to the place (I am guessing about 20-30min from my house).

Russell will be home, so carting between airport & my house will be no big deal, Russ can stay at home with Carson while I run it.

Jane- It's ironic & a good thought, but I was happy with who I was for a long time, and oblivious to my weight.. didn't make me lose weight!! Did I misinterpret the passage?

Sending healing vibes to you Tracy, I know the importance of a good chiro visit!! Hope you come home feeling brand new.

I don't know about organizing it, since I'm so behind and I know there's much more qualified :thumbdown: :wub: But like I said, once everyone starts getting their flights mapped out, don't worry about when you get in, I'll shuttle people between airport & my house and we'll wait there till everyone comes in. :cheers2:

And Tuesday, then we have a cold front moving in and it will be 75 for the rest of the week! :thumbdown: This ladies, is WHY I endure 115 degree July's...that and also this IS freakin' paradise!

Judy and Tracy...mend well. I am not sure what is going on w/ my cold thingy...not very happy in the am or the pm...butduring the day it is ok...well, sort of. Weird though.

Terry~ Sorry, I dont know shit from shinola on where or what to do. I just know how to pay and play! I think those are my strong suits!

        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
