Hello everyone

a crazy day... I live 2 mins away from HVCC where Obama was today... so everything I had to do was re-routed. ugh

Shalee - I'm sorry about the insurance issues, I've been there done that with the loss of my job. I hope your new ins covers your fills ... did you get the book with the policy information?

Hi everyone... I don't have much thought going on here so I lost what I was going to say.

Tracy- good for you, I'm still stuck ... UGH frustration is an understatement.

Good morning!!

Slept late today, and will get back on track to finish all my paperwork!!

I hate that you have to do all that work! What a roal pain. Hope you get through it quickly & painlessly :wink2:. What did you think of Jordan winning BB? I know her family needed the money so that made me feel good.

Hey guys. We need to come up with a challenge for October. This will be the worst for me. I love Fall, Halloween and apple anything. Little Smarties candies, oh my.

OK, you got it !! Sounds good because I already hear miniature reeses and snickers calling my name! lol

Happy Monday all. We went and visited the in-laws this weekend to try and discuss Chrismas with them, they always want to do a HUGE extravaganza with tons of gifts and we have been telling them all year we wont be participating in a huge thing. We asked them to tone it down as the economy is bad, I'm not working, had 2 surgeries this year, our dog just had surgery, and hubby had a 25% pay cut and hours cut and we are not going to go into more debt over christmas. so his mom gets all upset, as does his sister, his dad is cool. But damn those 2 women all they want is gimmee gimmee gimmee gifts. Sheesh Sometimes I just want to go away over christmas so I dont have to deal with those 2.

Oh my word do I know what you mean on this one! I can handle my family because we just let the little ones draw names but my dh family...everyone buys for everyone and we just an not do it. We are talking about 15 adults & 10 kids!! :yikes: I thought holidays were supposed to be a time of joy! lol

Good job tracy! Ugh I need to get to the gym tomm. I have a horrible cold thank god I was off last night so I got to catch up on rest. Have to take my daughter to ballet in a bit.

Thanks Cari! I hope you feel better soon. Colds suck and seem to drag on & on. :blink: I really need to get my rear end back in the gym. I havent gone in a couple of weeks. Been to busy stressing & eating. But now I am getting back on track! :frown:

I was not so good on the band plan Saturday and Sunday.....had cake and ice cream, then several times I had buttered popcorn......sinful!!!! I did do an extra bit on the tradmill, but of course not enough to work off all those calories, LOL!!!

Mimi

OMG, my weakness...cake and ice cream! :tt1:

Tracy- good for you, I'm still stuck ... UGH frustration is an understatement.

Tell me about it!

My dr fixed me up...he broke out the Rx pad and now I can try to get back to normal :blink: lol. He gave me Celexa and I am gonna go back in 30 days to let him see how I am doing. The stress & tension was making my neck & shoulders, even my elbows hurt! I have faith that now I am gonna be on the mend now!

Have a great evening everyone! :biggrin:

Good morning everyone

How are you all doing? I'm sorry I can't keep up on personals so well, I am very spacey lately. I am living on approximately 800 cals a day and it is not enough, I feel full, just get a little loopy and my driving.... YIKES!

I'm frustrated because scale still didn't move... but I am not giving up, heading out to hit the road in a few, and today is Y day. then making a list and checking it twice..LOL ... not so much fun, getting ready for fall clean up and my house is a mess (for me) starting on 2nd fl and going to work my way down.

Have a great day -lots to do.

Eat well and get motivated...

take a few extra steps every day, take the stairs, park on the far side of the parking lot, walk around instead of a short cut.

this is what I tell myslf every day - so I thought I would share

xoxoxoxo

make it a good one everyone!

Morning Girls.

Shower is taken, cats are fed and news is on the TV. I need to get moving soon. Have to get to City Hall and file for a salvage title for my nephew. Remember he crashed his car back in June? Well, just found out he never titled it or licensed it. 20 year olds!!!!! Ugh.

Jenn, thanks for the wise quotes. A little kick in the butt first thing in the morning is what it takes sometimes.

Temptless Tuesday! What do you think?

Tracy, I liked Jordan winning. I don't think she 'played' the game though. With her it was really a popularity contest!!

Got all my work done yesterday, felt good!!

Today starts my work week!!

        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
