Idaho checkin in



Recommended Posts

Hiiii Deee Hoooo

Greetings to everyone! I was banded in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho on September 9th.

I am known to talk too much and will type until my fingers bleed so I'll summarize........

* 29 / Director of IT in the Healthcare industry / girly tomboy

* on any given day you'll find me shopping, fishing, camping, softball, football, bbqing, swimming, snorkling, quad rides, playing poker, cooking for friends, playing in the woods

* closet Martha Stewart entertainer - minus the rafia

* I prefer toothpaste over gel

* I strongly believe if everyone had sex (with someone or alone) or smoked pot on a more regular basis this world would be so much less stressed

* Gemini - and if anyone knows a Gemini then they know all the quirks that come with that

* Today's pet peeve - the lottery should be 128 drawings for 1 million dollars instead of 1 drawing for 128 million

* I grew up happy and I think the only downfall is that I don't see shapes or size differences in people, including myself which is why it took so long for me to see it in myself and get help :-)

* Inspiration - to become a gold toothed rapper, mumble a few words, belt my pants around my knees and be every kids idol

* my request to others - just tell me to hush if I'm too candid

Hi to everyone, I love this forum and it truly helps to keep the daily motivation up!!

        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
