Shrinking Violets Part 4



Recommended Posts

Jane - I thought the same thing today. The months are flying by! Before I know it it will be May!

Okay, I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 247. That's my starting weight for July and I should be 5 down by August.

WHO DIED???

Haydee, I just sent you an email about the dates in May. I asked my principal and went to the Cal. Dept. of Ed. website and figured it out. I had to send it from my work email...it has my name in it.

Who died?

Just had a light and fit smoothie and it gurgled each time I sipped. And I'm starving but afraid to eat anything solid... I wonder what I did?

I only know Maden from Gypsy.. if you want to get into it, some other old lady famous from the 50's died the other day and some comedian (I had never heard of, but apparently is popular) also died 2 days ago.

So it's hard to decide what to consider in the rule of 3.

Haydee do you have the dates already?

Also, maybe you had a kink, airbubble, or just the Fluid sitting in the tube.. and from flying it finally moved up into the band and tightened it a little.

I think all the celebrities should run & hide!

Haydee... the PA told me that flying can "adjust" your band... + it sounds like Pam is having issues as well... I'd give it a day or so to see if it settles down... & enjoy the restriction in the meantime!!

no date yet. Won't finalize it until late July or August. If Pam can swing it it'll be May 15th or earlier. Maybe end of April even. End of May is hot hot hot here and we would all melt getting from one place to another and taking outdoor pictures, which I really want to do.

My trouble started as soon as I got off my flight on Monday so I bet it is some kind of bubble or something... I was already gonna be on liquids for a few days to shrink my pouch so I I'll take it as a blessing that I can't even eat solids right now, LOL...

Whatever the date is...I should be able to get there by Sat. We state test into late May, but I can always fly in Friday after school.

I am CONVINCED that flying messes w/ my band. I was not right in bama...ya'll witnessed the pb'ing of cottage cheese. I was not right, don't know how to xplain it. I feel better today, but am still glad to be getting a small unfill for the trip. My last trip this summer is going to Tahoe and we are driving through San Fran. I think it is the air pressure or something from flying.

Still waiting for ups. This is really what I wanted to do on my LAST day off!!! I called ups and they said the 10 - 2 was just a time estimate, that they can deliver up til 7:00.

Haydee that is so exciting for you to be scheduling a wedding. I think I was looking at pictures in that coffee house during the discussion. I got up to go the bathroom, and the gallery was there, and when I came back you guys were all talking about the wedding. Didn't mean to be rude!!

Did I mention that I am still waiting for ups?????????

I hate to hear you guys are having problems, I've never had problems with flying & the band, but I've *rarely* heard people mention it :redface:

Hope you all get back to better.. hell, maybe I need to just fly to get my band to work again..

DLing some songs on Itunes, forgot how much I liked MJ's music.

        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
