Morning. I'm up and getting ready for My support group meeting also. Just wish Judy and I were going to the same one.

Went to my workout last night and than we decided to go to Applebee's afterwards. Apparently I was the only Catholic there. I got the fish and chips.

Long day ahead of me so I will check in when I can.

I agree with Laura, kill the little sucker or set it free far away from your house.

Hey girlies...

Am checking in from the barn... free wi-fi @ a barn... who'd a thunk it?

Have had a laid-back morning... Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, a little cafe & hanging out @ Borders, then lunch @ chickfila... now waiting for dd's riding lesson...

Nothing else to report... hope everyone is having a good day!

Good evening, Violets.

Just up from a little nap. I have baked Beans in the crock pot to take to dinner tonight as the New Day Singers get together.

Support group was great today. There were 16 of us there including 2 gastric bypass people and 4 who will be having lapband in the near future. I have to let you know that we are all struggling with plateaus there. I'm concerned about one lady who was banded in October, has lost 40+ pounds, but is at her limit as far as fills. She's 8.5 in a 9cc band and says she's hungry all the time. She doesn't eat much at a sitting, but is constantly grazing. She asked how I do it, and I said I was the same way until I took the pouch test and it got my head back in the game. It's a mind thing with head hunger, not real hunger. I wasn't hungry, but I was putting food in my mouth every time I went by the kitchen. I hope she can get herself under control. It's a tough thing to do, but at least she is getting exercise and isn't gaining. This is a tough road to hoe and takes constant attention.

Tonight there will be Baklava and banana cream pie at the dinner. I must be strong, I must resist!!!

We shall see.

Time to get dressed to go. Everyone have a good evening.

Good evening, Violets..

Back from the dinner and get together. It was loads of fun and I resisted the Baklava and the chocolate cheese ball, but Bob and I did split a small piece of banana cream pie. It was DELISH!! We only had a salad, a small piece of corn pudding and some baked Beans for supper so we didn't do too badly.

Time to relax and watch some tv and then head to bed.

Everyone sleep well!!

Went to Red Lobster for lunch with my mom & granny.. then we went to ToysRUs and mom bought a fancy Playard for her house for when Carson visits. Here is my 34 week belly. I've officially popped out lol. I remember Wheet mentioned this & it's true.. the flabby pannis at the bottom, just dangles from the pregnant belly.. when I walk around without pants on, you can actually hear it smacking into me. How sexy is that?!

You look great, Laura! I was twice that size at 34 weeks! People kept asking me if I was having twins! Seriously! I was in tears quite a bit as you can imagine.

Kat - I think that is a record post for you....shortest ever! What's up???

Judy - Banana Cream Pie is my favorite, favorite kind of pie! You did good to keep it at 1/2 piece! Hey, did you make the parmesan/artichoke chicken yet? We made it again tonight! 2x in one week!

I haven't really done much of anything today. Went to the hardware store and grocery store...yipee! Oh, and I took a nice long nap. The weather is perfect for it...cold and rainy. Keep thinking about Haydee getting on a plane for Mexico! Lucky girl.

Everyone sleep tight and I'll see ya tomorrow!

Woke up early but that's ok, I have a lot to do today.

Body is aching pretty good. I think all this working out is starting to catch up with the muscles. I had a restless night. I need to take some aleve but I always get heartbutn when I do. It just kinda sits at my band and than I have to take some rolaidss. Vicious cycle we go thru.

Rememeber my nephew that stole my pain medicine this last summer. Well, he checked himself into rehab last week with an addiction to pain meds. Today we are driving to go visit him. It's about an hour and a half to where he is at. I'm so very proud of him that he finally admitted he was addicted. It's a long road ahead of him but I think he is strong enough to make it.

So I won't be home till later this afternoon.

Everyone have a great day.

        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
