Oh no, it took time and effort to undo all the good I had done. I'm just now back down to where I was when I was in Texas.

I wish I was :ohmy:

Thanks Laura!!

I hope your husband doesn't eat too many of those chocolates -- or are they the non-malitol type?

I think they are splenda, not malitol.. but DH is not a sweet eater, so one bag of like 8 candies lasts him a month.

Just a quick check in from the hospital---using Manda's laptop, so excuse my typos.

She had surgery this morning. They removed a lymph node under the ear, and snipped pieces of glands and tissues. They are not sure, but are discussing, amputation of the outer ear. They are also discussing transfer to UNM Hosp. in ABQ---it is a teaching hosp. He said there was no puss or anything, but that cutting into the tissue was like cutting in to wood it was so hard. It will be 2-3 days for the pathology and the cultures. They cut from behind the ear down about 2 inches with a forward curve.....pretty ugly. We took a picture with her cell phone, so that she could see it, I will find out if there is a way to get it to here....

The good news, if you will, is that her ear lobe is now affected. It is swelling and huge. So.....while that indicates a spreading infection, and furthers the chances of her losing her ear, it is NOT indicative of the RP. We would give up that ear in a heartbeat to have her with us for many, many years to come.

Not sure when to expect to see the Dr. again. The ENT's associate actually did the surgery, and we really liked him a lot. He come by to tell us that the original grouchy ENT was in ICU and would be by to see us, we kinda groaned, and as we expected the grouch never showed. Not sure how to go about it, but we want to change to the one who did the surgery.

Kinsey had fever through the night, but it was mild. I left her with my Mom for the day, now I called to check on her, and my Mom has it. So I am going to sit with Manda for a while to make sure she is ok, then go on home, and let her rest for the night.

Somewhere---sometime-----I need to get some shopping done. As has been pointed out tomorrow is Valentines, and I have nothing for my grandkids with all this. Connor was here with Ali when they brought Manda up, and he refused to kiss her bye bye, he kept saying Auntie Broken. LOL

Manda wants me to buy something for her to have to give to Kinsey tomorrow too.

Oh yeah, her former MIL was her OR nurse!!!

Well I am going to go find some ice chips.

Will check in tonight.

XOXOX

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
