Good Mornink'

How is everyone this lovely morning. I'm just sipping my graham cracker flavored coffee watching the disney channel (well not really watching it, dd is) wiggly town hero's LOL. Disney has a great channel, I know I can leave it on and not worry about what commercials or shows my DD is going to see.

With all the running around I've been doing for my sister who's in the hospital I think I'm going to take the day off today lol. I have so much house work and laundry to do but knowing me, and knowing how it is being in the hospital for many days, I'll probably do another run and go see her. I got home at 8:30 last night.

Around 7 pm last night, I was traveling home going west where route 4, 17 and 208, just past the garden state plaza all seem to come together, there was a wicked lighening storm. I've never seen lightening hit to things one after the other right in front of my eyes, I mean about 300 yards. It struck the transformers on two bridges as we were just about to go under them. Cars stopped dead on the highway b/c people were afraid to go under the bridge, like it was going to either strike us or the bridge would fall. I had my sisters kids with me and I was just taking them home from seeing their mom. Boy did they scream and cry. My stomach was in my throat but I didn't panic. I weaved in and out of the panicky drivers and just kept going. I gotta say, I did almost poop in my pants. It was very scary. The transformers blew up, BANG !! then fire and smoke...Hope I never see lightening hit anything again... SCARY SHEEEEAT!!!

Today is laundry, tidy house, food shopping and cooking dinners for the week.

Watcha all doing?

After the fill friday, I was told to have liquids only until Monday (today). I don't think I could really eat anything right now if I wanted to. I have been satisfied with the liquids only and am not hungry at all. If I go by the evil bathroom scale, I have lost 3 1/2 lbs just in the last 3 days. I will check for real at the gym later.

Good Morning Kiddies :)

How's everyone today. Its a beautiful day, cool and crisp :D

Welcome Steve !!!

Ira, thats great 3 1/2 lbs. You really should stick to one scale because its going to drive you nuts going from one to another and wondering which one is right. Put a 5 lb bag of flour on your scale and see if its right.

I'm home today, still running to the hospital for my Sister and running the kids to school.

Have a wonderful day !!!

Morning All. Nothing Crisp, here... Somebody forgot to tell Texas that Summer is Over... Sheesh! It's HOT here.

Great job, Ira! Happy Day! Even if there is scale variation, you are still moving in the right direction. I will try to contain my envy that you already have a band!

Miss Eileen, how's your Sis? Any word from your insurance co? I will be calling mine again to be SURE that this time they have received the file...

Y'all have a great day!

Hi everyone, Welcome to Ira's world.

Today, Ira want's to talk about his fill.

Ira got his fill only 5 days ago and has lost 6 pounds.

Ira thinks that is too much, too fast.

Hello, Mr Noodle, can you tell Ira if this is normal?

That's, Ira's world.

Good Morning :)

How's my little chickadee's today?

Ira do you want a slap? LOL... no seriously, call the doctor he is back from italy. How many calories do you think your eating ? if you feel like you can eat, then just up your calories but I suspect your body will level off and you'll lose slower.

Now, are you talking to Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle because you know he's dead. Poor thing.

Beanie I have to listen to that link when I get home, my boss is here and well, if he catches me goofing off, I don't think he'll be happy LOLOL GRRRR !!! I did watch it with the sound off but it just didn't do it.

Its a beautiful day out, skys are blue and warm.

Whats shakin with you ?

Hey Ira.

Thanks for having us in Ira's World.

Are you able to eat regular food? Are you experiencing a high level of PB's?

Are you having any major discomfort?

If the answer is no, then I THINK you are fine. 6 lbs in 5 days is quick - but not going to cause illness or anything - and the likelihood is that it will not continue at such a dramatic pace for very long.

I say, if it aint hurtin' - kick back and enjoy.

Eileen - the sound makes ALL the difference. You must try this at home...

It's another Glorious Texas day. The sun is shining, the pavement is melting...

:]

Thanks for the kind words Rene, the answer to everything is no. I guess, I wasn't really expecting this kind of reaction. I still am not hungry at all. Wow this is great.

Great news, the FDA approved Inamed's breast implant today!

Are you going to be affected by Rita in your area?

I am North of Dallas in Allen TX. There is some speculation that we might experience the edges of the storm - like Category 1 effects - but nothing like what the folks on the gulf are going to get.

We'll just hunker down in front of the DVD player and eat popcorn.< /p>

Glad to hear there are no nasty side effects, Ira. Happy, Happy! Joy, Joy! That 6lb effect is what ever bandster dreams of...

I haven't been keeping track of Inameds other body enhancements - and breast implants have certainly NEVER crossed my mind. (yes, behind these huge bazongas I actually have a mind).

Is there something special or different about them? I guess I can go to the website and check them out, if I run out of things to do today...

Everybody enjoy the day.

I.

        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
