Well said

Thx so much for this advice. I've tried them all and this was the best. I smashed mines with a small pot or pan then fine chop with a knife, put it in a medicine cup, mix in the soup and took a shot. I love this site. What ever you are going through someone on here has too. Love it.

I was sleeved 10/21 and I only drink smoothies and Water. Are smoothies considered a liquid or food.

I think they got a clue. I think a family meeting will help. I have to remember everyone is not like me and let them help in their own way and time. And when they say mommy/honey go sit down that's my que and I need to sit down, be patient and let it go. I thank God for all your prayers and advice. I'm so thankful right now. Love you guys. I'm on a mission to take care of me. Don't know why this is such a challenge, but I can't help nobody if things get worse and I'm all jacked up. Had a good day of rest. I did have to go to the store for food for ME, my cousin came by and gave me the money she owed me but did not apologize for the offensive things she said to me, acting like nothing happened so I went with it. My oldest daughter stepped up cooked dinner and keep the little one with her. Yes I have a teen and tot B-). I put honey bun on the couch and resting watching AFV getting my laugh on. Ooh yea

This is why I love this app. Thx for the support. I took a shower, blasting my favorite spiritual and motivational playlist, made my announcement that superwoman is down for a week, read my scriptures, and shut my door. Feel so much better now. Nothing like getting in the spirit. Don't know how long this will last but thanks everyone and have a blessed night.

I just had surgery 10/21 and my family want or barely help. My house is a mess, I feel claustrophobic. You would think when I start cleaning, cooking, taking care of toddler (cause she can't care for herself), walking the dog, laundry, etc; you would think someone will step up. Then when I ask I get "not right now" then later "I forgot". I'm so freaking frustrated. I can't get no one to take me where I need to go. My income has been delayed no fault of my own. So I have no money. The people I have always been there for are not here for me. I can't believe what I'm going through. I had a plan. What the freak happened. I feel like I'm in a twilight zone. Just had to vent. Time for some serious praying and shutting down some negative vibes.

Home sweet home. All went well. Hope the same for everyone else.

Finally having surgery tomorrow. Third try. Scared as well. Totally screwed up pre-op diet. Don't know what the doctor will say. After reading blogs, I should be ok. Can't wait til everyone is sleep so I can pack and get ready. Good luck everyone

All I can say is " you go girl "

Well apparently I have not been here in awhile. Had to reschedule September date. Having surgery tomorrow. Scared out of my wits. Did not do good on pre-op diet at all. Hope it does not cause any complications or more delay. This has made me realize this is definitely not a quick fix. This is mental and much more.

Thx, can't wait to see the new me a year from now.

Well good news. My echo was find. ;+)), yeah. I can stop stressing now. No silent heart attacks, nothing. Perfectly normal. I feel like I may have overreacted but heck the had me scared. So my new date is September 16th, granted I can get through the rest of the loops.

Thx. I hope so. I've been struggling with this BP since I had my toddler and for some reason I can't seem to keep it down. Some days it gets scary high. The main reason I wanted the surgery is the same thing that's keeping me from getting it. The good thing is that I lost 17lbs during my pre-op. But the crazy thing is how easy it is to slip into those bad habits and I probably gained it all back. I do know everything happens for a reason. Not having the surgery that day may have saved my life. And when the time is right it will happen. I have an appointment for my echo exam next wk so I will keep everyone posted.

Thx
