The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Increasing and getting serious about the Ozempic starting Monday. I can't live like this.

Called WLS surgeon's office - was referred in the fall and they can't tell me how long it will be. Just that they are working through contacting people from 2023 at the moment. Could be years. I did find out that there are 2 other surgeons who do this in Moncton so will go back to my family doc and get referrals to the other 2. (Gastric Sleeve is what people are mostly getting here now. 2 friends have had it with amazing results).

Actually considering paying for the operation in Toronto or Montreal, which would cost about 18K out of pocket. I am just fed up and 3/4 of my life is over. I don't want to live the final years in pain, wearing old lady clothes and feeling like I'm MUCH older than I am

Iam so sorry that you are having such a hard time getting control of your weight. Since the Oz is supposed to help regulate hormones perhaps if you get on it regularly it will help you and you will be ahead of the game by fall.

I chose not to weigh today because I had 2 good size steroid injections yesterday. One in each hip bursa and I’m feeling it. So bloated.

Good choice. No need worring about fake weight

Hope you feel better soon from the shots.

I don't blame you!

Today is not the day to weigh! Good decision!

I thought I was up half a pound but when I went to enter it it said down 0.6. I'll take it.

I think you're working hard, and it shows!

That’s nice

That's a nice surprise.

257.3 ding! Ding! DING!

I weighed 260 at my last official weighed in. After coming home from the hospital, my weight was in the mid-260s. 257 sounds so different from 280 and, God help me, the 392 I weighed before WLS in 2003!

I miss sweets. I miss eating anything I want whenever I want. I'd like to say that feeling healthier counteracts that. It does a little. I am totally going on a ODAT mindset because I can't imagine making these choices for the rest of my life. I know only too well that one day off has usually led to 2 days, 3 days, a week, a month, a year of being lost in food. So, ODAT 'I can do for today what I can't imagine doing for the rest of my life.'

So...
