Recommended Posts

Home from the hospital shift. Not to busy tonight.

I made a batch of cookie dough and put it in the refridge. Our women's ministry is having a bake sale this weekend. I'll make Cookies and a couple of cakes.

I have an appointment with the shrink Doc tomorrow. Anxious to see how this one goes.

Have a great night and chat with you all tomorrow.

Suziecat - I'm glad that cookie dough is in your refrigerator. If it were in mine it would be eaten...that's one of my favorite BAD things to eat. And it goes down so smoothly -- even after the band.:mad2:

I'm home.....and I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manda's ear looks 70% better already!! We went down this morning, spent the better part of the day, and it was so nice. She feels good, she can tell it is improving, and she knows even if she ends up losing part of it, it will not be the entire ear, and she is ecstatic! I had a helluva time driving home, I think I FINALLY relaxed and it hit me!

We got about 50 miles from home, and she called---insurance is booting her tomorrow, they say there is nothing being done for her in the hospital that cannot be done through home health care!!!!

So....tomorrow morning, back I go! But I am bringing her home!

The top of her ear and the inner part of the lobe by her neck are almost back to normal color. The center where the wound is, and the outer lobe are still maroon in color.

She has had 3 different Dr.'s tell her the surgery she had was useless, and quite dangerous to her situation, and now the wound looks horrible! The surgery wound, not the ulceration on the ear I mean.

Anyway I am totally exhausted, but I had to share.....I am going to bring her home tomorrow, and while it is not over, it is improving!

She will be on 3 different IV meds and 2 orals at home, but is sure will be easier to see her!

Will check in when I get back from Albq!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TRACYK-----Love you lots and hope your day is as special as you are to all of us!!

XOXOXOX

Morning Chicas~

TracyK...Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Well, you know the rest!:biggrin:Love ya sista and I wish you a great and special day!

Kat...I am SOOO happy to hear that news! You and your family deserve a bit of peace...is she going to stay w/ you for after care? Does she have a dr. near by to follow up? God Bless you guys!

I am bushed. I worked on table of contents, table of tables, and my abstract last night. Then went to bed around 10...slept like a log...and couldn't believe it when my alarm went off. I didn't move or pee all night! I am very tired...and I only have to work 12 hours today! Thats right...I get two 45 min breaks, but 12 hours. I will stay at work until 7pm for conferences...but get to leave tomorrow @ 11:30! I am meeting my dear friend from High School (she lives in San Francisco and is down for the week). I am soooo looking forward to seeing her.

That is my story! Gotta go put my face on and look fab for the parents!

love ya

I'm looking at a flight arriving in Huntsville at 9:39 a.m. and leaving on Monday at either 10:09 a.m. or 4:30 p.m. I don't want to miss any of the action this time around!! I'm going to book next month after I get my tax return.

I'm thinking I'll book this one asap if ya'll think it's ok timing wise... The price really is great... seeing as how nonstops were up to $700 at one point... I was pretty much resigned to doing 1-stop (Detroit) but this non is good!

        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.

      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
