Beth - I actually am probably friends with more Repubs than Dems but please think whatever your heart desires. I am finished, through, completed.

I'm glad to hear it. I think it will make things a lot easier for you.

Talking about fires....and confessions.....years ago, many, many years ago (!) my Mom worked for the local sherrifs office as a dispatcher. They also dispatched the local volunteer fire dept. She worked the midnight to 8AM shift, and my Dad left for work about 7:30. It took Mom less than 4 minutes to get from home to work, but my brother who was 2 years younger than I, were alone for that 35 minutes or so everyday. We were 9 & 7. We lived in a very old house that had floor furnaces. He and I began scuffling and fighting as usual one morning and kicked a balloon into the furnace and it caught fire! He refused to leave, as flames flew up from the furnace! He sat there eating his Cheerios. So I grabbed the dog and run to the neighbors. Of course by the time I got there, I had no idea how the fire started!!! Confession!!!!

So the neighbor calls the fire in, this was before 911. My Mom gets the call, and she dispatched the fire squads etc. and it wasn't until she was writing it in the log book she realized she just dispatched fire units to her own house!!! So she got a jailer to take over and flew out of the office, almost run over the Sheriff! Meanwhile the fire trucks are arriving, and one ends up sideswiping the one already there, causing several thousands of dollars in damage! I hear one of the firemen say the fire is out. My brother dumped his cheerios milk on it...talk about stink!!! About then my Mom comes flying in!!! She sees all the trucks, and was hysterical. In reality there was never much of a fire, just a scaredy Kat me!!!! LOL

By the next morning we had a mean ass neighbor who come and sat with us as we got ready for school!!! No more fires tho!!!

This thread is hilarious!!! I just sat here and read the whole thing!

My confession: I called in to work today because I have a tiny sniffle, and just wanted the whole week off. I work at an elementary school, so I get sick really easy. It is my first year and I have been catching EVERYTHING!

Second Confession: I weigh myself 3-5 times a day.

Cough.

I believe that everyone is but that there are varying degrees....1% vs. 99%.

If you look for the good in people, you will find it. Likewise, if you seek the bad, you will never be disappointed.

I am a compulsive weigher! If I wake in the middle of the night I will weight myself. I weigh myself in the morning and multiple times throughout the day. It is ridiculous but I cannot stop! lol

I confess that I don't understand how anyone with WLS cannot be a compulsive weigher. I weigh myself when I wake up, every time I use the bathroom and right before going to bed. This causes me to strip several times a day since I won't weigh myself with any clothes on. Good thing there isn't a scale in the office, else, I might have a lot of explaining to do! :biggrin:

There is no possible way that I could do 1 weigh in a week or anything that's NUTS!

I confess I'm very frustrated because the scale won't show me 183! I started at 213 on day of surgery so I've been taking progress pics at every 10 lb loss and it's ticking me off that my body is stubbornly holding on to that .5 lb! Everyone, please send positive energy flows my way focusing on those pounds melting off. If you all do it, I know the fat won't stand a chance!

        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!

    • 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
