Good morning, Violets...

I slept in till 9 this morning. Bob got up and greeted Ethan at 8. I made Breakfast for Ethan and Bob and I had a few bites of the eggs and sausage. Then got dressed and was playing on the computer when the mail arrived. In it was a beautiful angel pin and book from my Secret Santa! THANK YOU PamELA.. I sent you an email with a link to Ethan and I reading the book. We both love it!! Let me know if the link works for you. I'll forward it on to the rest of the Violets so you can see how I spend my day!

Nothing on the agenda today except Flute rehearsal at 6:30 tonight.

Tomorrow morning we are finishing up all the wrapping of Christmas gifts and figuring out what we need to finish it off. I think we are pretty much done though and that's a good feeling this early!

Off to forward the email to my Violets..

Everyone have a great day!!!

Three Cups of Tea...Greg Mortenson

My DH just read this and he said it is a great book. It is next on my "to read" list and is sitting on my nightstand.

He said his culture is similar to his in that by the time you have had tea at someone else's house three times, then you are pretty much like family. Tea to them is more than just a drink, it is a daily ritual of utmost importance.

I don't know whose cat it was???Feel terrible, but he can't help it! He didn't go get it...it came over here. Susanne had to make him drop it and take it away...he was not happy when she threw it over the fence. Poor kitty...poor Klausy....poor Susanne. Sadsadsad!

Good morning girlies~

77 today!!aaaahhh.

Just got home from the gym, and Sus slept in (she is still sleeping). I did 30 min on the eliptical and yes, it damn near killed me. The bottom of my feet cramps up, I even had to stop at 10 min and try to stretch more. Then I got on and did speed intervals! Anyone know of the group The Gossip? Lead singer is Beth Ditto. Anyway...they helped the work out today.

Just got news yesterday that my bff from college (18 yrs old in the dorms) Sarita is coming after xmas. She lives in Vegas and we've seen each other here and there. She has 3 kids and her hubby is also working on doctorate degree. Anywho, she texted me and asked for a get away!!! So excited. We already have massages booked for the 29th (not doing taking of the Waters this time). She just to chillax, have some cocktails and not be "mom" for a couple of days. Her kids are too cute, and hubby is a doll...but dad just went to Florida for 2 weeks...mom's turn!

Other than that, we are watching Polar Express today. I'll pop in from work! xooxxooxox

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
