Yes, TracyK, I second that! Grandparents ROCK!

Judy... maybe you should whip up one of TracyKS's mocha skim ooh-la-la fancy pants drinks after Ethan goes to bed! :lol: You deserve it!

I think the thing I am most pleased about today is that I have not turned to eating to take care of the stress. I've been good and eaten only my regular tuna and soy nuts with a blueberry/cream/splenda concoction. I'm having tilapia for dinner with some broccoli and cheese sauce.

Time to start cooking supper here.

Oh, and I don't like coffee so any of the mocha ooo la la drinks would not be a treat for me....... now a McDonald's chocolate milkshake.. that's a different story!!!

I sent you all an email with the latest details. Also didn't want to post it here.

Wow, so much going on. Judy & Kat, your families continue to be in my prayers!!

I made salmon with a mayo/mustard/dill sauce on top.. was very good, so now I have a salmon recipe I can make at home and like. Russ liked it too-he normally doesn't like sauces.< /p>

I have a bad /pressure pain in my lower abdomen & hooha, feels like a bowling ball.. I think Carson is in a bad spot. I rocked on all 4's for about 5 minutes and the pain feels better, but still a lot of pressure. Oof.

Laura - your salmon sounds yummy! Salmon is one of my favorite fish to eat but only if I cook it at home. I hate getting it at a restaurant and then you get a dry piece of fish.

I just got home and getting ready to get some chicken breasts in the oven. I don't have anything to make as a side other than black eyed peas! I need to go to the grocery store. The times that I am not prepared with a stocked fridge and pantry are the times that we rely on fast food and that's never good...

My blessings for today - I'm thankful that my family is close together and that we are able to see each other very often...

Today I am grateful for...

...hearing "our" owl hooting so close by this afternoon.

...seeing a bluebird (of happiness?) dart by.

...a good hard workout today.

...walking into the Mailboxes Etc. store to mail off a work package, & there was my best friend! So we enjoyed a quick, unscheduled latte & a few minutes chatting in the afternoon sun. :lol:

Sweet dreams, Violets! Tomorrow is a new day!

True confessions! I am CRAVING ice cream! I even almost rationalized myself into indulging! :lol:

But then I thought about #1: if I felt I had to wait 'til after the kids were in bed (= sneak it!), then that was a huge signal that I shouldn't do it; #2: Judy's wise words on stress & eating (I'm not stressed, for me it would be more of a "treat" for the day); #3: writing my grateful list about the hard workout -- it WAS a hard one & I don't want to undo all the good I did!; #4: looking at my ticker and thinking about what it is I really want... a momentary affair w/a bowl of frozen milk or to get back to my lowest weight??

SO... I will go get into my pj's, brew a cup of tea, & relax a bit before bed! Phew! That was close!

I am grateful today for so many things in my personal life, but what's most on my mind is that I'm grateful to have generous medical benefits so that I can give my kids the best care available.

(((Kat))) Please let us know how you're doing. We won't rest 'til we hear from you.

(((Judy))) Give Ethan a kiss from his Aunties.

Ethan has had his bubble bath and is now sleeping. Grandma will soon be asleep too. Tomorrow our CPA will be here to go over tax info. Then it will be Ethan and me for the day until rehearsal in the evening.

I'm grateful today for staying true to the band and not letting stress get the better of me. I'm also grateful for being able to give Ethan love and attention.

Good night, Violets.. sleep 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
