  1. You’ve got this! Best wishes, thoughts and prayers, here’s to a quick recovery!!!!!
  2. I feel the same way. First it was like April 9th would never get here, and now..... ?. I can’t believe we are almost there! Best of luck to you and everyone else this month and on this journey.
  3. There was a good recipe for hummus in the book that came with my ninja. I am looking forward to trying that!
  4. Thoughts and prayers. Hope you have a quick recovery!
  5. Best of luck on your surgery and safe travels!
  6. It’s scary and exciting to think that at this time next week, I will be in surgery and heading towards a happier and healthier life!!!
  7. Best of luck to you. Thoughts and prayers for a smooth and speedy recovery!
  8. Best of luck! I’m looking forward to seeing your weight loss. Our stats are very close and I’m getting sleeved on the 9th.
  9. 11 days....I can't believe it is almost here! I am starting to get so darn nervous!!!!
  10. Good luck today! I hope it all goes smoothly and you walk out knowing you have clearance!!!!
  11. I am on the same date, but sorry I can’t help. My surgeon doesn’t require it. Just the day before surgery. Can you believe we are only 2 weeks out? I’m starting to get more and more nervous.
  12. Hoping for an early surgery for you as well. I’ve had a few where I’ve been put under. You will be fine. Don’t let it scare you.
  13. You’ve got this! No problems. Now we are just on the countdown. Less than a month to go. I’m happy that I am first thing in the am as well. I live just over an hour from the center/hospital, so there is always that when I have to be there bright and early. ?. Oh well...small price to pay.
  14. I'll say a prayer for us all that everything goes smoothly! Best of luck to you!
  15. VSG scheduled for April 9th at 0800. Excited and scared!!
  16. I agree with you there! My son is almost 3 and he just wears me out!!!!
  17. I am having the surgery. I have talked about it extensively with my husband and I want to be around for my kiddos.
  18. Thank you both for your kind words. I know I need to do what feels right to me. I hate that I let what other people think/say play a part in my life.
  19. I am scheduled to have VSG on April 9th. I have been second guessing my decision. My BMI is just over 35 and I am about 75 lbs overweight. I have had multiple comments from people saying "you aren't even that heavy, will they do it?" or "you aren't 100 lbs overweight, why would you do it?" I have high cholesterol, but am not on meds for it. My biggest issue is I have OA of my hip. It makes it extremely difficult to exercise because it hurts so bad. Since I am 44, no one wants to touch my hip until I am closer to 60. I know the weight has made it worse because I didn't have all the pain until I got pregnant with my son 3 years ago. I am now second guessing the surgery again because I am letting people's judgemental tones and comments get to me. I want to have this done to help me get started on my weight loss journey so I can be healthier for myself and my children. Thanks for listening... Am I doing the right or wrong thing with the surgery????
  20. Thank you! I actually ordered the ninja yesterday on Amazon since I still had about $30 left on a gift card. With a 3 y/o and a 13 y/o, I figure I can make plenty of smoothies and shakes. ?
  21. Thanks for the input! I appreciate it.
  22. Thank you! I appreciate the input!
  23. Thanks for the input. I was thinking that I would use it for smoothies and shakes too. Other than that, not sure how much I would use it.
  24. I'm feeling rather cheap right now... I'm not sure how much I would use it.
