I still have pain meds at least once a day so far,,,Here is what I did today. I rushed out this morning late as I didnt know that getting ready nstuff would take as long as it did. I rushed to Starbucks!! I started looking intently into most gals eyes and they were all polite and smiled,,,I couldnt see one person that looked like anyones pictures so I sat down and sipped slowly my coffee. I began to wonder how so many gals could miss such a nice morning coffee clutch. Then a strange feellling crossed my mind, Did I have my dates wrong? Check the Daytimer..Yup Im not early or late Just by about a couple of weeks!!! Gadfrey whats up with this? Did a get a brain band as well? Did starvation do this to me? I dunno all I know is that I had a nice late, went to Sees candy for stocking stuffers(honest) and then went to my first post of visit. It went well, so now I wlll see everyone one the 21st! .. Be kind to me okay?

LOL Victoriana! I just popped in and saw your message. Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th. :P

Hopefully I'll be at the correct Starbucks -- this is the one that you enter from the mall parking lot, right? It's across from PF Changs? I know there are a bunch of Starbuckseses in Bellevue. :)

Mollyjolly, The correct Starbucks I believe is on the North side of Bell Square, next to Sees candy and west of Cost Plus Imports. Its on the North side of N.E. 8th St. Im not sure where the one is that your are referring to, I don't go to Bell Square that often. I really appreciate metting with everyone live and in living color. I love to laugh, I hope to be able to contain myself so as not to embarrass everyone. This is the season for Joy! Dont worry though, Im not like a WOOO HOOO morning person so I should be fine.

Tomorrow's the day! I'll be wearing a med blue sweatshirt with snowmen on it and a red fleece jacket with snowflakes. Hard to miss me, I'm still a big girl! :)

Is everyone still going to make it?

      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.
