Yay! I am going with someone else but we have to eat lunch SOMEwhere, right?? I won't be able to hang out for a long time but at least I can meet you guys! I hope. Our seminar goes until 12:30, it's downtown somewhere so she said "OK" so hopefully you will see me tomorrow! I have only lost 1.2 lbs in the past 3.5 weeks, so I need some encouragement too!!

Lets do a play date next week...I know my kids would love it!!! Can we do a Mon or Wed....if not Ty can miss a day of pre school no biggy!!! I wouldn't want him to miss all the girls!! :thumbup:

That sucks for you and Mike......weddings are hard because you don't want to sY NO....When I got married I had a friend who couldn't afford it and was very open about it, so I offered to pay and then she could pay me back...although she didn't, but whatever!!! Maybe he could ask his friend...

What kind of work does Mike do?

Christine you have to come!!!! I need your spunk!! He, he :)

Good luck you guys at orientation....you will really appreciate it...I did...I learned alot!!!

Hey Riley!! Cool I hope you make it. Natomas is close to downtown!! I plan to be there...........

Ok so I went to work today. Sorta hard to blend back in everyone asking questions about my surgery. I was vague......had a hernia....nothing else. The only thing everyone said is you don't look like you had surgery!! I hope that is a good thing........they said I looked too good to have just had surgery!! I showed my supervisor my incisions to make sure she knew I really DID have surgery!

I feel sorta weird about not being totally up front but I think tomorrow this will all die down. People didn't notice I have lost weight..........well most people didn't...........the people who commented I just told them it was all the stress of surgery. I have been slowly losing since December so it was not a huge shock to be down another 10 pounds!!

Ok ladies tomorrow................oh and it is so much easier not to snack at work!!! I was so busy I forgot to eat lunch until almost 2pm..............so that is a good thing about being back to work!!

Hey candy

People were just really nosy!! LOL. If they know anything about hernias they probably know I did more than that to have a month off........but oh well I don't have to tell!!

My port still hurts and since I was in the office most of the day I had to get up and walk around alot.

The one thing people did notice is I DON"T HAVE MY DIET COKE!!! I told them it is terrible for your stomach, makes hernias so much worse ya know!!

I tried to mind my own business but strangely everyone knows I had surgery so that much has already spread!!

I don't want to get back into all the office drama again!!

Weird because even though I am back I feel different somehow from when I left...........well of course I am banded!!! LOL. But my mind is in a different place now.....

Oh and we are all going out to eat on Thursday!!! So I get to try this all out than..........gotta love the soups!!!

      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.
