YAY Sheena, you have done it! Thanks Christine for posting :crying:

I don't know about crystal light, i have up to 4 a day somedays, like during meetings especially . . . i make myself drink at least 1 Water for every 1 whatever else I drink a habit i picked up when I drank beer . . .I thought the rule was any Decaf non-carb liquid with less than 10 cals per 12 oz, seems like Water with lemon or crystal light would be jes fine!

I must need my nails trimmed cant type worth s*&t :thumbup:

Way cool, Heather! And I like the super-original name; I think it says it all . . . and searchers can find us! Now if we can just get these 114 pages of discussion moved over there, we will be all set!! Any of you computer whiz-types know how to do that??

Lol, I'm pretty sure we can't do that on this website, but someone can just post a link for this thread over there so that people will know where to look for us.

Ugh! I just logged all the calories I ate today - almost 2000!!!! I got stuck twice (tofu once, Fiber one once), yet I still kept eating! Jeepers, what has gotten INTO me?? And I only did half of my miles today, with zero jogging - all walking. And in my jammies by 8 pm . . . . zero energy. I am about mid-cycle so that should not it . . . .anybody else get this? It's only been like 5 days since my last fill so I should bea eating little and losing lots . . but no, I am eating lots and losing nothing!

Thoughts??

Hi Ladies-

Just wanted to chime in. So you can add 1 more to the list of newbies, me. I've been through all the appointments just waiting for my surgery goal weight.

I think these last few pound are tough for me because of my size. Not making excuses but I'm 198lbs, 5-0ft, and almost every comorbidity there is...I've been trying to increase my Water and done well the last couple days. Just seems like it's not happening fast enough for me.

I'm going to the Richmond group meeting next wednesday and plan to weigh myself then, hopefully good news.

So anyways, Chandra, Heather, Maria we are all in this together.

Tina, that new picture is hot!

Jes

Ah great I had a my monthly visitor again tonight.............ah I have to weigh tomorrow at Kaiser how much does that totally suck!! Rotten luck............something is whacked with my hormones............here we go again!!

So much for hoping to be back down to 216 now...........no wonder I have been so up and down all day with myweight.

Also, Anyone else having to shave their legs like every other day?? This is so crazy you would think I have not shaved for days and it is only yesterday.............does this have to do with hormones too. Seriously I have to talk to Dr. Baggs what did he do to me!! I am a walking hormone right now..............and apparently have been for the last six weeks!!

Ok.. sorry been packing and then packing our stuff cause mom is officailly moving out, dont want her to take our stuff with her..

Ok so sheena imed around 5, and said She was out, and pain level was a 7 (she did do a LOL) it was a 2 hour surgery!!! (holy moly!!!) They hadn't made her walk yet, and she was in her room. Didnt know if she had anyone there with her (roomie) too exhausted to look around. Her hubby wont be visiting though because of her baby. So everyone keep prayin about her. I told her to walk the gas off :crying:

Well i better go to bed...

Apparently I can't change the group name, but I changed the description. We won't discriminate if you weren't banded at Richmond. :crying: So now, it's basically nor-cal Kaiser.

NIcole you will have fun!!! Enjoy it and take pictures. Sounds wonderful!!

Yep that is three for me but the last one only lasted three days stopped for three days than back again!! Seriously I need to see my PCP because this HAS got to stop.............I am so NOT having any more babies!! But I do think my body is trying to say something to me!! But I wish it would stop cause I am so not listening.

Ok so your constantly shaving too. So that is a normal thing!! When I was pregnant this happened too so I really thing it is a hormone thing from the surgery and anesthesia.

I also still am bruising really easy and have big bruises on my legs and arms just from my cat stepping on me. Heparin I guess just finishing up its job...............

6 weeks monday so I should be moving out to total recovery now..................

Ok ladies back down to 216 this morning. My weight is just all over. I am guessing at Kaiser I will be up 2-3 pounds on that scale. But all that Water yesterday did some good.......

Leaving for Kaiser in a few minutes here. I so can't wait until SAcramento fills. I am guessing that traffice is gonna be bad on a weekday morning going across the bridge so I am leavning an hour 1/2 early just to make sure..........and this is a new location so I don't want to get lost.

Wish me luck back to Kaiser I go again.........

Tina dear, you really ARE a walking hormone! No really . . .estrogen is stored in fat, and when you lose fat raoidly it's all released into your system . . one of the reasons it's REALLY impoertant to drink a lot of Water.

SO about the hair thing . . .I always joke with peopole wgen I tell them about my surgery that it cures everything, - high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholosterol, allergies, etc. - everything but chin hair I always say (you'll understand when you're over 40, LOL)! Anyways I said that to Robin last week, and she said oh well actually, it will help with that too: harier at first, but one the weight is off there will be less body hair! How COOL is THAT??

So see girls, we are not imagining all this!!

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
