Long, long, long day here.

I worked my shift this morning and than went over ot my sisters to pay her bills. Came home and mowed the yard. I got a call from a girl at the south store wanting to know if I could come in and finish her shift. She had a chance to go to the Royals game, so I went in and ended up having to train 2 girls to workout. Now I'm home and feet are up and watching DWTS's. I'm like Haydee......Pooped.

Good evening, Violets..

Had a good day with Ethan. We went outside and raked and played with the yorkies. I had to watch for eagles and hawks though. Didn't want the little dogs to get snatched up. It's the first time the yorkies have been out in months and they were enjoying it as was I.

Tomorrow is hospital shift and then I have to go to the church sometime in the afternoon to sort out choir robes and get them in some kind of order. Seems that Sunday there were people who couldn't find their robes.. sheesh.

Laura.. you look great!!! Certainly not like someone who just gave birth almost a month ago.

Grady turned 2 months old Sunday. He laughs now and looks all around and sure loves his mommy and daddy. Gramma is working on him. In a month I'll start babysitting him. Ethan will be at day care on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I only will have one to babysit at a time. That makes this old Gramma happy.

Jane.. I'm PROUD of you. The stars are a great idea as long as you can trade them in for special things for YOU.

TracyK..your attitude is great again too. Posting another before pic is a big step on the right path.

I was looking forward to being in the hot tub tonight, but the code was back even after they have been out twice to fix it. They are supposed to come back tomorrow to see what the problem is and why it isn't fixed yet.

I gotta tell you, I felt so good at the Water park. There were many ladies who were much heavier than I walking around in their tight swimsuits. I never could do that when I was heavier. Now I strut my stuff and enjoy the water instead of sitting on the sidelines all covered up.

I hope to get some triking in tomorrow if the weather continues to be nice. I have a rehearsal in the evening. Busy as usual.

Hope everyone has a great evening. sleep well.

:sad:just lost my post!

Anyways I got 2 out of four stars today. I exercised, and didn't drink with my meal. I ate a little over one cup, and at taco bell, so I lost two stars for that.

I don't know what to do as a reward and was thinking that maybe I should get to hold Carson for the longest with my stars!!!!!!!!!

Morning girls.

Sun is shining, cats are out in back and I don't have to work till later today. Life is good.

Laura and Tracy, thanks for the pics. You guys really don't have that far to go but I know it is still a struggle. I'm sending all my purple power to you both. And Janie too.

Everyone have a great day.

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

        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
