I just wanted to let everyone know that Leona is having her senior recital :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: in NYC at Juilliard on April 8 at 8:30PM. That is a Saturday night. I am going of course and have a couple of seats in my van still available if anyone would like to go. I will be leaving Sat morn and coming back on Sunday. I have reservations at a hotel in Jersey for $100.00 a night and that cost will be split by the amount of people in each room. ( two double beds each) food can be any price depending on where you eat. There are cheap hot dog stand to expense full course restaurants. BTW Greyhound has some really good internet prices too. Let me know if you are interested. :)

The recital is free. It's the other stuff you want to do in NYC that will cost. I do not have a full agenda sent up but I know I will be leaving in the morning on Sat about 8AM. Should get to NYC around 1-2 PM depending on traffic. We will stop at Cracker Barrel for Breakfast. I have to pick up a lady in Philly. Then coming home sometime Sun afternoon/evening. Things depend on the weather and what everone wants to do. It is not fun if it is cold and raining. One of the ladies is coming back early Sun because her daugher is in a concert in DC Sunday afternoon. It about 200 miles to NYC and with the cost of tolls and gas it is about $75.00 if you get 20 MPG. I have the EZpass which make it easy to get thur the tolls. The hotel is in Jersey with an express bus stop across the street. We might want to get half price tickets to a Broadway show. I will send you an email.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
