The struggle is real!!

I'm May 3rd! Nervous but excited.

U don't have to do her any favors by bringing it to her attention. I don't know who said that they would make ur life hell if u told on them, but shame on them! U wouldn't make my life hell if I told HR. THATS WHAT THEY R THERE FOR. That "bi*ch is an adult and I wouldn't give her a warning. HR would! Sounds to me like that advice came from a bully. Anywhoo...let HR do their job! That's what they get paid to do. That lady isn't stupid. She knows what she's saying is not helping you. She's sayin it to make fun of u. Let her laugh now and cry later. Wave at her as she packs her belongings and heads out the door for good. U don't have to warn anyone about their rude comments. THEY AREN'T STUPID! Nip it in the bud ASAP!

We live in a culture of hidden shame. Having weight-loss surgery is nothing to be ashamed of. Being fat is nothing to be ashamed of. Like your friend, and like many people on this website, I dieted many many times, and I was successful many times. But not permanently successful, and so I decided to make a permanent alteration to my physical anatomy that would help me not only lose the weight, but keep it off. I wish I did this a lot of years ago. I am amazed at how effective the surgery is. But it is a sacrifice. I think most people on this website would tell you that it was worth it to them. But it is a commitment. It cannot be undone. But don't let the shame from our culture stop you, if in your inner self you know that this is the right thing for you.

I have not lost the cravings altogether but the have lessened greatly. I just always keep in the back of my mind "I am choosing not to eat this not that I can't" it makes it easier to deal with! Good luck on your journey!

Tuesday is the big day. I'm nervous and excited. Oh boy! Can't believe how close D day is. Lol Welp...see ya on the "Greatest Losers" side. Blessings and well wishes to all!

Good luck! When you wake up feeling groggy and miserable, just make sure you do everything they instruct you to do and know that the discomfort is only temporary! You can get through it!

So I'm here in the waiting area. Stomach is in knots. Not sure if it's my nerves or the fact that I had to take a pill on an empty stomach with only a sip of Water. I'm very uncomfortable and very sleepy. Had to get up @ 3 a.m to head to the hospital. On the bright side, hubby drove and my 3 kids and I just sang silly songs on the way. Wonderful experience. The kids were in good spirits because I was. They had to go back home tho (2 hours away) because we r taking care of a stray doggie right now. I think it is for the best anyways. This waiting room wouldn't be comfortable to my 3 kiddos. Well sorry for rambling. I'm just so bored. Lol hopefully they will call me back soon. You all have a great day and please keep me in ur thoughts. I need some positive vibes my way!

I am so super stoked about my surgery tomorrow. I can't wait!! Nervous but the excitement of a healthy life overpowers all my fears! Can't believe I've come so far and am gaining control back over my life. I feel like I'm graduating or something. Just so proud of myself.

Thanks guys. It's been crazy seas, but from here on out, I'm the captain of this ship! All aboard

I am so embarrassed, I didn't know that I wasn't being "PC". When I was working on the distributor of my first car (pre-modern electronic distributorless ignitions), I needed to "R-word" the spark when tuning it up.
I can understand people taking offense to this, but I don't believe "dcd197's" intent was to use it in a way to make fun of someone who is truly cognitively impaired; that would be hateful and cruel.
I never interpreted it that way, but I can understand why people are offended by the use of that word.

What a weird person.
I would SO report her ass to H.R. IMHO, that's harassment in the workplace.
She needs to shut the f**k up.

Not sure what I was getting in the day after surgery, but no one was concerned because I was so loaded with IV fluids at that point. I know it was day 5 before I was up to 60oz. But believe me, it took a conscious effort to sip all day long. I had a bottle by my bed that I started the moment I opened my eyes and didn't stop until I fell asleep each night. If I missed sipping for even one hour out of the day it was difficult to catch up.
And if you are having a hard time, try different things. For me, I couldn't tolerate plain Water for about 4 months and warm stuff (broth and herbal tea) went down easier. Good luck!

Well thanks for saving me a spot on the losers bench! I made it through. Wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. ( shocking news to me! ) I feel like crap now tho
My doc did stomach , gallbladder and an hernia repair. So much pain!
Well my meds have me a little loopy. Thank u to all who kept me encouraged and have a good evening everyone!
