Jeni, I am so glad this round went good for you. Can't wait to see the new Jeni. Whoo Hoo!:crying:

Ok, This hint is so over due it is not even funny. If you get that stuck feeling have someone rub/tap your back which usually produces a burp which then takes care of whats stuck. No hanging over the sink pbing :drool:.

But I have good restriction the lbs are dropping slowly but definitely going.

I am in smores hell though everynight, with those damn over the burner smores. Damn girl scouts anyway for inventing them LOL :wub:

I guess I ma in a crazy mood tonight hence all the icons!

Happy hump day!

Just checking in and so far it looks like everyone is doing good. Keep up the good work and remember "I'll be watching you". That didn't come off as creepy as I was hoping, just do it in a slow Boris Caroloff voice and you'll get it.

Take Care,

Just checkin' in with my 2007 Marchies! You guys are amazing--goals! plastic surgery! life changes! Awesome!

I'm doing well. Turned 60 yesterday--that was a milestone for sure. I'm so glad I've lost the weight I have--it would have been a much harder day if I was old AND fat!

I was laid off from my job in January and spent four months traveling the country and seeing every one of my kids and grandkids--what a wonderful time I had! Precious memories. Then I started a new job and have been at it for 3 weeks. The learning curve is pretty steep but I'm hanging in there and am so grateful to have gotten a job. Sent out over 150 resumes before finally landing this one.

You guys are doing SO well--keep up the good work and good luck with the ps aftermath, healing, and bikini-wearing! Have a great summer, everyone.

Thanks, Carol. It was a good day--we went last night with a small group of friends and family to dinner and then to see Pixar's UP! and stayed till the end to see (and cheer) my son-in-law's name in the credits. It was exciting! Fun and tender movie, as I sat there next to my sweetheart of 41 years and thought of growing old together. A good day!

Mom Lambert,

Don't you wonder where 41 years has gone? We will be married 40 years this fall and I'm amazed that it has gone by so fast.

For sure, Carol! It's a big blur--we were SO busy and involved with life. It's nice now to have a little time to really be together without so many interruptions. Glad we still like each other!

      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.
