Wow...I'm so sorry this happened! I too lost a job of 21 years last June and I know it is very devastating. You must have been very invested in your job to have stayed that long. I know I was so shocked by the whole thing that I couldn't eat either. Unfortunately, that didn't last and I started...

Oh, Cindy...how discouraging this must be sometimes! I really like fkrebs' suggestion of a consult with another surgeon. That's not an insult to yours at all. It's just that sometimes a fresh perspective results in new ideas. Your surgeon should not be offended at all. In fact, ask him for a...

Hey, DMG! Please don't be afraid of this board. I've only been on a week and I've seen nothing but kindness and support in every post I've read. Haven't you found in other areas of your life that when you are most humbled, you experience great growth? I'm a nurse and I absolutely HATE the view...

Hi! My date is August 9th, so I'm getting more anxious now too. I've decided that is normal. Intelligent people feel some degree of anxiety when they approach unfamiliar situations or relinquish control to others on such a grand scale. There's nothing wrong with some anxiety---it keeps you alert...

Yes, Girl! That bod has served you well with your baby chicks, but it's a new day.....you have inspired me. I am going to donate my spring clothes and summer ones the closer I get to my aug 9th day! Enjoy the water!

a work in progress Welcome! I'm new too. I have struggled with the pre-op weight loss too. After all, if I were good at this I wouldn't be having surgery! I too decided that having 1 or 2 meals a day of 11 oz protein shakes (Premium Protein from BJs) eliminated the decision making for me. My...

"Remember what you want. That's real discipline." I just read that tonight on a website with inspirational quotes....hope it makes you smile. We are the same weight, so I'll be stalking you! :) Geez, that sounded kinda scary and weird-Sorry!

Hope all went well......you are strong and brave! Now get up and walk a little bit! :)

I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm an RN. If you aren't getting your water in I wonder if you may be getting dehydrated. Dehydration causes nausea and stomach cramping.... Evaluate yourself by how often you pee (most people go 5-6 times a day). Sorry for the potty talk, folks!

I loved " the Sleeved Life". You can get it on amazon.

I can't wait to buy I car I really like, not just the one I fit behind the wheel of. I can't wait to wear one of my wonderful husband's shirts to bed. Maybe the sexy "ARMY" one! I can't wait to take the steps at work without sounding like I'm dying when I get to the top! I can't wait to wear...

Good evening! I just found this site on Bing and had to join! My GBP surgery date is August 9th and I am at the "excited and nervous" stage.....more excited. I am so ready for this, so ready to be successful after 30+ years of trying and trying...you all know what I mean. Anyways, thanks for...
