Jenn, those pics are amazing. You should feel really proud of yourself. You really deserve a Margi at this point.

Home from work. Got in there and there was a letter from the night girl. She is quitting as of Oct. 1st. Our boss is out of town on a cruise. So it looks like more hours for me. I had asked that if any hours became available, could I have them. I was thinking maybe like 4-5 hours extra a week. Now I will have to wait and see what this will bring.

The next 3 days are going to be very busy for me. I will check in when I can.

Way to go Jenn, they say a pix is worth a 1000 words!!!

I too have to pull out before pix and see what everyone else sees. I still see myself as FAT!! and that pisses my hubby off when I say it.

Even though I have lost alot. I still feel like I did 190 pounds ago. But when I see recent pictures of myself, I am shocked at the difference. But I still live with that Fat Girl.

Some day she will leave me for good.

Thanks gals

Shalee - I have not looked at that pic in over a year, I am just about in a size 12 very easily, and I don't ever remember being a 12, or 14... ok 14 in 8th grade!! I had my good friend tell me tonight that I was wasting away and how much more do I want to lose, I told her 35lbs. she thought I was insane! are you kidding? that will put me at 150 and that is still not perfect, but they also don't see me with clothes off either, stupid stomach!!!! YUCK

I do see a huge difference, and maybe I'll be totally happy.

but that is why tomorrow I will be walking 4-5 miles and then going to Water aerobics and what ever else I do (i really need to take up tiles) I just had 1/2 serving of ham 30 cals and 5gp and I'm going to bed, I'm hungry working out but dont need to eat

OH, only had 1 drink and walked 3 blocks there and back ....lol

have a good night everyone, I will be back at 5:30am!

Suzanne, you should be so proud, but I do totally understand what you are saying, it took me lots of time to even admit I don't look like I did 2 years ago and that was a big thing. but be proud, you are doing great!

HI JANE

Tracy thanks sister! xoxoxoxox

Good morning ya'll-

My 'fat girl' will always be with me. As long as she stays on the inside reminding me of what not to do...she can stick around...but for now, she is rearing her ugly head in ways I thought I would never go back to. Anyway, I am not gonna dwell on that this morning. I am going to concentrate on how to make today a success! I have done really well with my eating this week. My 'happy pills' are making me a little nauseated, but I haven't decided if I am going to lower my dose or not. It is tolerable, just a little bothersome.

Gotta get off here and get macy ready for school. Have a good one and I will post in a little... :tongue2:

Tracy - hey sister

the happy pill side effects will go away, I promise, one of mine was insomnia, and now I can sleep and usually sleep pretty well.

I'm home from my walk and having Breakfast, going to clean, do laundry and shower. Not sure what else I'm going to do, lots on my mind - so a little flustered

Hey Ladies.

Home for about an hour before we have to head off to the hospital. I have a load of laundry going and I fixed a quick lunch for us.

Kat, good to see you stop by. I'm sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation last night. I hope your friend will be ok. I will say a prayer for her. I hope we see you a little bit more here.

See ya all tonight after I get home.

        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
