Oh! You two don't know what you're missing!

Making pineapple upside down cake with a pan, cardboard and aluminum foil. Making yummy dinners in the fire using the dutch oven or aluminum foil. eggs cooking over the fire in the AM. Smell of campfire in the cool night.

The quietness of the evening with just the crickets and frogs singing to you. Talking quietly with your loved ones and friends beside the campfire. Watching the stars blink on as the sun goes down. The fun of exploring the forest around you during the day. Watching the deer and the chipmunks and squirrels go along in their daily tasks.

Anyway, I could go on but I won't! Guess you can tell I like to go camping! LOL!

As for the Q, haven't answered that yet. Being rich sure would be nice. Not having to worry about paying for my truck repairs. Yes, it's in the shop right now. There are some charities here that we would love to help in a big way. Set up trust/college funds for our daughter and nieces and nephews. Pay of our bills and those of our parents.

BUT I don't want to be fat anymore. I'm not huge anymore, I'm still big and have a ways to go yet and don't want to stop.

So, no answer as of yet.

Actually I've been camping in the Gila (Arizona) in the snow and that was groovy.

Heartfire I'll go camping with you if you promise to smash any bugs that even THINK about looking at me, ok?

(Benefit of camping in snow...no bugs)

I don't want to be a cave woman, I would imagine they did the same. LOL I'm just not into camping, I do not want to share my bed with frogs and bugs. Yuck.

Once you get to a normal weight and have control over it you would do darn near anything so you don't have to give it up. ;o)

Being rich is always about money in my mind such as it is. Being rich to me is about being happy, healthy and with the man I love (my husband) for the last 20 years. I am truly blessed in that way. I have the support of him and my closest friends to help me on my journey to be skinny. :P:)

I see and appreciate where you are coming from but that wasn't really the question. ;o)

What would you prefer? Wealthy and fat or poor and thin?

definitely fat and rich. i grew in a family of 8 kids so money was always tight and as a single mom of 3 i still live on a tight budget. itd be nice not to have to worry abiut things, not to have an unexpected car repair be a major hardship. or to be able to take my kids on a vacation without having to save forever first. fat and rich hands down.

        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
