Hey guys! I swear I feel like just banging my head against the wall. Maybe then I can get the mind set I need. I am so frustrated with myself, but I have to refuse to stop believing in myself. Well enough woe is me, LOL.

How's everybody doing? NW Ohio has been cool, cloudy and rainy for the past few days (hence my mood!). Well my son from college called this afternoon, he needs us to bring him a pair of shoes he needs for his new part rime job. We won't be able to do that until Sat. morning. My sixteen year old needs a refill on his inhaler, so we also have to go Elkhart, IN. I guess this coming weekend will be spent on the road.

Catch you guys later. Shar :smile2:

Hi Shar! How far is it from where you are to Indiana? Long road trip? Be careful....and be nice to yourself. Sometimes we need to cut ourselves some slack. :smile2:

I saw a news story just a little while ago about a high school football game in Washington. The players (from both teams) got together and let a 17 year old boy with down syndrome make a touchdown run. Made me cry in my first cup of coffee. They did the same thing last year with the same school. THAT is what it is all about!

Have a great day everyone!

That dang story made me cry first thing this morning too, and it was AFTER I put my makeup on.:smile2: It was so sweet.

Ughhhh. I have the flu bug. I hate feeling this way. So I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight and get some good rest.

The last few days have been hectic. Doing double shifts and not feeling good is taking a toll. I have Thursday off work so maybe a little rest will do me good.

Hi Everyone.

Hey Ya'll

Quiet here today

How are you all doing?

I am just chilling - about to crash

I'm exhausted, and hurt, and well, went to FD drill and as I was waiting for everyone to show... Got a call for bad (fatal) car accidnt. My first 2 calls were intense. My fd dist i only 3 miles and this is not typical

those who know me know how I feel about camera... so bad news was there ...

I've seen more in a week than I have in a life time.

So I lost what I was going to say, I'm mentally done. If i can get pics online I'll post, I know I was in some with my pants that are a different color than everyone else's (only because they are really small or really large, this was the only inbetween.)

anyway, I'm physically and mentally done, I told them I want to take my gear to work and wear it so i can lose 20lbs... lol

they are hot and sweat is an understatement

i have to go to bed, can't even think straight

Jenn, that happened to my sister and me one time. We were in a restaurant while they were interviewing a women about her neighborhood. You couldn't tell it was me, I knew because I had been there. Was so thankful they didn't get my face. lol.

Went to bed at 8:30 last night and only got up twice to go potty. I'm feeling ok, just a little sluggish. I have to work for a few hours then off to go to give blood for my test. Then head to the kidney Doctor for my 6 month check up. Then off to go see my fill Doctor. He's gonna decide if I need to get my hiatal hernia repaired, hoping not. It hasn't bothered me since my unfill right before my spine surgery. Then it's back to work for about 5 hours. So glad I have tomorrow off.

Kat, Phone Home.

Have a great day.

:smile2: Now it is comments like this that will make me drive up there and smack the crap out of you! (especially since I weigh like 70 pounds more than you!)

I still love you though. :mad:

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        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
