Ok' date=' so it wasn't so bad. I was doing my research to calm my nerves when I found out that I had the option of taking the course online. I called and cancelled my in person appointment, and just did it online. Looks like the ball is starting to roll. I filled out the questionaire at the end, and contacted the coordinator. I'm just waiting now on my evaluation appointment. I should have an appointment for that by the end of the day.

Here we go.

Well that's good that they had an online course and that you were able to fill out the paperwork online.

Spent the better part of the week in the hospital with severe palpitations. Had every test known to man' date=' but they can't figure me out. I think its the new med for HBP they were giving me. I'm home now. Still unknowing, still scared. Can't see my doctor until next week. Resting until then.

Oh my gosh you poor thing. I hope you get better and they can find out whats causing the palpitations. Rest and I'm wishing you the best.

Blood pressure is all over the place. I'm so very tired all the time. Ugh.

Linda

That's so not good. It's gotta be the BP meds. I hope you get in with the doc soon.

I have always wanted a big family and its nice to have my husbands family. I want to have a good relationship with them, I love their son. I don't get why either that daughter in laws or mother in laws don't get along especially when children are involved. That sucks about her mother, but so wonderful that she has you.

I have seen the Rosetta Stone software at this store on base, I will have to get that after we move. Sorry I have been off this site for awhile, I was really sick and then had a lot going on. Still feeling sick and I have to get another surgery for my back, but I will see about that when we move.

I'm glad you're on good terms with your inlaws. The more the merrier, right?

I was sorry to read that you've been sick. I worried. Stress can really do a number on us. Although it sucks having medical problems on top of it. I hope you're somewhat better now. Remember to breathe. Long deep breaths through the nose and blow it out through your mouth, like you're blowing bubbles. Its great for relaxation.

Hang in there.

Linda

Well then at least your daughter will be happy either way. My husband thinks his different methods like drinking coffee help by giving is a son....lol.... I think it was luck to......lol

Wow you even made your own noodles, very impressive, I wouldn't know where to begin. I'm going to try to make chicken noodle Soup, but in the crock pot when we move. I love the way beef stew taste after sitting in the crock pot over night or throughout the day.

Sounds great! I'm with you about certain things tasting better the next day. Noodles are really easy. I don't have a recipe. lol The crock pot is the most underrated tool in our kitchens. I think people forget they have them.

That's what I'm thinking. I cut my dose in half, and it seems to have helped. I can't shake the fatigued feeling though. Its like I'm walking through Water.

One would think so. Add cholesterol and triglycerides and I think we have a party. The problem is jumping through all the hoops to get it approved.

Right!!! :)

I have my good days and my bad days, but I can't let it stop me. I have so much to do, just gotta keep pushing through the pain. When I have been feeling stressed I try to get outside and walk it helps.

I hope you are feeling better. That's pretty scary how you were feeling. Did you find out any information on getting started with the lap band? Take care and I will be checking in as much as I can.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
