CONFESSION TIME..spill it



Recommended Posts

Lulu, I used to love Judy Bloom books when I was a teen. I remember someone telling my mom they were full of vulgarities and from then on, I had to sneak them in order to read them.

my mom was pretty much a hippee & if i was going to read; she bought it for me...

confession - DH and i are moving upstairs in our farm house (have been renovating for over a yr), now that it's complete - while they get ready to gut and start downstairs. i'm not so sure he is going to make it out alive today. we've already exchanged some pleasantries :smile2:

Sometimes a good fight is just the thing to get the blood pumping back to the brain.

I feel for you -- just having workmen install a pool in the backyard was painful, I can't imagine them crawling all over the house.

Ah yes, DH and I renovated our house last summer... actually, he did 90% of the renovations himself and I stayed out of the way. Even with that there were some 'interesting' moments!

You have a pool? I REALLY want a pool. But other than I live where it would be snow-covered for a minumum of 5 months, and cold for another 2 or 3, it hardly seems worth it....except I REALLY want one.:confused:

no, i've gained all the weight i've lost while i've been pregnant... then a bit more ... about 20someodd pounds

Phew! BTW, you're not supposed to lose weight when you're pregnant! Doctors usually want a pregnant woman to gain between 18-22 lbs during the course of the pregnancy so you're doing great!

My confession is I went from being a volume eater to a grazer... I need to stop eating small amounts all day and just have meals!

The wine doesn't help either!

        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
