Yes, If someone needs a pet boarded or something like that I can certainly do that. I don't have any extra room, but will certainly be glad to help out with a pet. I do have 1 dog and 3 cats already...so one more won't make a difference.

I have a spare room at my house also. It's small, modest, but it's mine. I'm in McKinney - north of Dallas.

Paula, Ginny, Lisa, Nancy, Marie - all my Houston area sisters, you know you're welcome if you need a place of refuge.

Hi all,

I am just 100 miles East of Houston, and we are leaving for realives in North Louisiana too. The wind will be the big problem for us. Please pray for my son who is in League City, Tx...which is just 15 North of Galveston. He is the asst. police chief there, and has to stay to head up command posts. The rest of his family has gone to Dallas.

I pray everyone will learn from Katrina, to take these storms very seriously, and leave. All the material things can be replace.

Be safe, my friends! We will chat later.

They have just issued a mandatory evacuation for my area. In 2002, when hurricane Lily came, we stayed with some friends about 30 miles north of here. We had planned on going there again, IF we needed to evacuate. But from what we are hearing, that may not be far enough north.

Please pray for all of us.

Our school systems were closed yesteday (not going to reopen til Monday) for officials to use our school buses for transporting the Katrina survivors to more northern areas. They did this for safety concerns AND to allow our local residents a place of refuge, since many were stilll at our main shelters.

Just a word to all of you - GET GAS NOW!!!!!

This storm will certainly have SOME impact on the Houston refineries. Ultimately, this storm will affect most of you.

what chaos.

Leatha pmed me yesterday to offer a place of refuge for us - THANK YOU fom the bottom of my heart!

And for all of you who have been so kind to offer shelter, big hugs and a genuine thank you!

LBT, you never cease to amaze me. I love you all.

I am in Texas about 100 miles away from houston, but they say that that she could hit us also, everyone here is prepared, EXCEPT me! I have been working, and have not had a chance to hit the stores for the necessities. We are really scared. Not sure what to do next.....

        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
