Pat congrats!! and Heather very well put.

Today I saw Dr. Baggs, I tell you he is a very nice man. He rest assured me that he saw no problem and that all my labs came back normal and not to worry about the surgery. I practically cried when I talked to him I expressed my concerns to him. I feel a lot better now!

oh and guess who I met today?? Lil Ms. Nicole!

Nicole, you are such a beautiful lady and your lil' Audrey she is just adorable!! Did she finally eat the apples? it was great meeting you and talking to you. I hope to meet you very soon. Everyone, I still have no answer about tomorrow.

Candra- where art thou Candra? (where you at girl?)

I think you meant congratulations Pat. Sadly I haven't done anything to be congratulated about.

My daughter and I rans some errands today and I will have to pick my boys up soon. Here I have been off three days and the only thing I have done around the house is clean my upstairs bathroom and take naps. I am so freaking lazy. I decided to skip going out to Faces with the singles group tomorrow night - there's like 30 people from the group going and it is out of my comfort zone - maybe next time.

I had 3 leftover chicken nuggets for Breakfast, a crunchy taco for lunch and a Peanut Butter cookie. I did really well yesterday - had tuna for breakfast, tuna for lunch and baked fish for dinner.

I took my car to costco yesterday to get the tires rotated and ended up having to buy two new tires - had to get my mom to meet me there to pay for them. Anxiety starting again - already freaking about Christmas.

Haven't heard from Maria about tomorrow yet. Heather and I will definitely be there.

Yee Haa.... Congrats Pat - you are on the way! Can't wait to find out your date

Nicollie & Liz.... I see those tickers going down ladies! Won't be long now.

Maria - I'm here - been in a BAD mood so I'm gonna keep it short cuz I tend to have a little bit of a potty mouth when I get like this!

Nicole - I love the pics girl. You look amazing and I can only hope to get there sooner than later

Tamra - cabbage Soup diet? stay close to the bathroom LMAO

Captain Mo' - I am so ready for a fill too but Doc Fisher said 12 weeks! UGH!! I've gained 3lbs so I started running again this week and back to the Atkins fat fat but I can't seem to stick with it.

LET ME JUST MENTION BEFORE I SIGN OFF THAT I WILL ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER BE A MATRON OF HONOR AGAIN! AT LEAST NOT FOR HITLER!!!!!!

Candra - sounds like you had a frustrating day. I was maid of honor once, but it was pretty low stress - I only remember dress fittings and helping set up the hall before the wedding - none of the drama you are having to go through. Gonna miss you tomorrow.

Nicole - what a great picture of you and Auds - I need to make an appt at Penney's to get our pictures taken - we do it every year - I can only hope ours is half as good as yours.

Way to go Pat - woo hoo !

I have lost track of all the new friends we have on here - maybe after I meet some it will make sense.

Hey there everyone, gosh I'm physically and emotionally drained. Work is kicking my butt. Monday starts our big exam for the students. Anyway, we hired an assistant about a month ago and she was diagnosed with breast cancer last Friday and now found out she has to have a mastectomy. So on top of it being a really sad situation I have to do her work and mine. I spent all yesterday crying with her. We never know what life will throw at us.

I'll be really glad to see you all tomorrow, walk and talk. Oh did I mention I'm sippin on a glass of my favorite Merlot? Maria when you need it you need it :thumbup:

I'm cutting this short...hope everyone has a nice evening and again can't wait to see you all. And like Donna goonna miss those who can't make it.

Hi Pammie - yeah, I'm tired of this whole thing - I don't understand this process she's going thru - I really don't want to go to this bridal show tomorrow - we've already booked and paid the deposits for the venue, and all the vendors (florist, caterer, photographer & bakery) She already bought her dress and we have all gotten ours except for me because I plan on being smaller by next July but not sure how much smaller - SO, WHY DO WE NEED TO GO TO THE BRIDAL SHOW? There is nothing left to get/do?

      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.
