So, It probabley explains this in the thread...but is that a scale of 1-5 or 1-10?

What RSG?? You mean you didn't start at the beginning and read all the reviews??? :smile2::tt2:

1 - 5 rating where:

1 - I would rather remove my own eyeballs with a rusty knife than see that again. Time I will NEVER get back.

2 - ok as background noise if you are ironing or only partly listening

3 - alright movie; enjoyed it, but glad I didn't pay full price to see it at a theatre

4 - add it to the collection; good movie.

5 -oh why oh why can't they make more movies like this? This will stand the test of time for being a great movie.

I watched a few while i was blahhhhing in bed.

Slumdog Millionaire: 3.8 stars.. It was good, but I don't think it was as good as it was made to be. It held my interest though, but just not *quite* a four star movie...

Role Models: 3.5 stars. I really liked this comedy! It's been awhile since a comedy has made me laugh like this. So, if you like senseless male hormonal toilet humor, this is your movie. ;o)

Seven Pounds: 5 stars and 2 thumbs WAY up!! Wow, this one blew me away! I was not expecting such a deep drama. Get out the kleenex.

well LilMiss, I can't see us going to a movie together anytime soon! Slumdog, I agree with the comment, but would still have rated it a 4. But 7lbs as a 5 is beyond me!

Only one movie this weekend - The Negotiator...3

Last night's movies:

Alone with her - 2.5 (Great premise, just thought it was a little overacted by male actor, little unrealistic near the end)

Valkyrie - 3. Despite Tom Cruise, a good movie but still could have been better.

Last night:

Marlee & Me: 4 Stars, but I'll never watch this movie again. Ever. :blink:

I read the book and was reading a sad part at Jiffy Lube waiting on an oil change. I was bawling and tryin to be discreet - wasn't happening. The lady behind the counter made a comment about the book being that good, and I said, sobbing, "Y-y-e-s-s-s....It-is-gooooood!" sob. sob. sob.

So, yeah. I am hesitant to watch the movie - because 1) will it be as good? and 2) I need to buy tissues first.

Saw one movie over the weekend. We indulged in a "scary" flick and saw The Alphabet Killer with that chick from Dollhouse.

Yeah...scary movies sometimes just suck. I won't even rate this it was that bad.

We have 7 Pounds at home, but DH doesn't want to see it, so I'm waiting for some me time. :( Haven't gotten it yet.

Glou - a really bad movie is Doomsday. It is now my standard for horrid movies and all others are rated against it. So, the Alphabet Killer rated a 2...

        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
