Home for the Holidays



Recommended Posts

Hey Gang, I'll be home for the holidays, anyone want to see if we can get together for coffee? I'll be home for the Thanksgiving week, and then again for a couple of weeks in December. Eastside works best for me, but Downtown Seattle is a quick bus trip away

By all the Gods, I miss home!

I am still working in Bellevue..Construction site right across the street (to the east) of Bellevue Square.

You name the date and place sister and I will be there!

I'm in! I'm in California the week of Thanksgiving, but let's get together in December. I'm guessing it's the last couple weeks of the year that you'll be in town? Want to have coffee with the MS Bandsters? (we actually have an alias now at work, pretty quiet tho)

I'm in! Tuesday would be great. Let me know what time works best for you. I am completely flexible.

It's about a 2 minute stumble across a couple of cross walks to that Starbucks from the jobsite.

I'll look forward to it.

Sal

I was going to post yesterday, but it sucked big time. I'll be at the Starbucks across from Bell Square at 10:00 am this morning. It's the one right next to the See's candy (asking for trouble? :) )

I'll call you at a more resonable hour, like about 9:00 am :)

This is exciting!

Wow, I wish I would've been in town for your Starbuck's meeting last week. I'd love to get together when you're here in December. Seattle or the Eastside works just fine for me.

I was banded on 11/28 and haven't been out of the house yet as my port place is pretty sore and Im still in major healing mode. Dr Montgomery was my Dr. at nwws. Please post the new time you will meet, and let me know if I can crash the coffee clutch OK? I hope I will feel well enough to go. I havent discussed my surgery with very many friends, contemplating coming out of the closet as I hate to go through all the questions...oh well I am not ashamed at all this was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Thanks for your consideration!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
