Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

Good morning!!

Good luck Laura! Hope you're in recovery soon!!

Hello my violets. What a GORGEOUS day it's here today. Beautiful fall weather. Cold crisp air and bright shining sun.

I've got a wedding tomorrow but it's a small one. So I get to enjoy this beautiful weekend. Thinking of taking a drive to the hill country and we can have a picnic somewhere.

Booked another wedding for April next year. Our calendar is filling up fast!

Does anyone keep up with Cougar Town or Modern Family? Hilarious! Love those shows. I will watch them as soon as my DVR is done recording them on Wednesday nights.

Massive headache that I can't get rid of today...I'm gonna try taking more tylenol...

I love Modern Family, it is my favorite new show!! Yes Pamela I like it more than Glee (sorry).

I love your little guy Michelle, the one with the ugh!! I think we need to make him purple!! I cracked up when I saw that!!

Judy isn't 10 pounds a lot for you to lose by Thanksgiving? You are not that heavy to lose that much! Thanksgiving is less than 5 weeks........

Wow that looks like a big downer, Judy I can believe that you can do it.!!!!

Haydee did I mention that I LOVED the dress???

Got to get to work!!

Good evening, Violets...

Arrived here 6 hours after we left home. What a drive!! Grady was a real trooper. He only got fussy for a little bit. It's great to see the other grandkids. We went to Red Lobster and I had 3 coconut shrimp and some crab legs. Very yummy.

We're headed to bed and then shopping tomorrow and a hockey game. I finished reading The Help. What a great book!! Now I'm reading Long Narrow Boat to Indian River.

Everyone have a good evening... sleep well.

Thought I'd pop in before going to sleep.< /p>

The hospital is so dang disorganized. I schedule it 2 weeksish ago with the nurse, she said be there at 8 for pre-op, surgery at 10. Yesterday TWO people from the hospital (nurse & admissions) called, and said be there at 8. I even went over the schedule with one of them.

So this morning we're driving--ugh it was pouring rain and windy and dark..and after a couple hours on the road, about 30m away (at 7:20) mom called. She said hospital trying to call me, the number I gave them doesn't work (it did the day before???) so they called her to see where I was--I was suppose to be there at 6 for preop. Huh.

So all that aside, I finally got in for surgery around 10:20. It took 2 hours. Russ said the doc brought my port out to show him, and had other docs come and document, so there's a lot of witnesses that the port was actually defective. It BROKE IN HALF!! He said there's no way Carson would have done it, it was a defect.

So he's going to get in touch with Allergan and hopefully get reimbursement. I had a hard time waking up, and my throat is killing me. They gave me a huge bottle of liquid lortab, so I'm about to take some and hit the sheets.

Haydee I so love your dress, looks a lot like mine except I had the weird cap sleeves.

Thanks for all the good thoughts today!! ((HUGS))

Good Morning, Vi's~~

((Laura))... you've had one crazy band journey, haven't you? Well, I'm just glad you're back safe & sound! Take care... rest, liquids, etc. & so forth... you're an expert on all this by now!

It's a rainy day here today... actually supposed to get thunderstorms!... so am trying to find out if kids' activities are cancelled, etc. before heading out to a way-overbooked day. Make it a good one, everyone!

        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
