Ok this logging on everytime is for the birds!!!

Glad you all had a great time! Did everyone show? (Lucyman)

I worried about that the whole time wondering....

Well I have my last surgery this friday (29th), and I have set an appt for my FILL! YEAH! on July 2nd., after being unfilled for so long I am going to have to retrain myself. I hate that after a year it was so hard to return to the bad habits...

Since my son will be ending Pre-K soon my summer is getting really BUSY so I will be taking some time off of the board for now.

Glad to hear that you all has such a great time in VEGAS!

Wish you could have found some time to post at least one message on a hotel computer for those of us who could not go.

It would have not made us feel so left out:think -(I really wish I was there since my hubby and son drove me so crazy this weekend!)

I know how it is in VEGAS, so much to see, so little time! I was there in 1997, I stayed at the MGM Grand and I was there for a week and it was never enough time to see everything.

Did I mention it was my honeymoon from my 1st marriage!--lol ( Thank God I had the courage to leave and divorce him-he was abusive towards me in every way!)

He made us late for Sigfried and Roy and I was so pissed since those tickets at the time cost a fortune! We ended up missing the show! Needless to say there was no "NOOKIE" that night!

At the time the hotel was adding something on and we had to go through a different entrance each time we went back in! Can you say pain in the ass! It was so dam hot in September, this was around September 27th until the first week in October of 1997!

The one thing I loved was walking the strip and that they had the over pass walk way to go from one hotel to the other!

I live in New York, but, NewYork/NewYork does not do us justice! They made it look nice though!

Update on me :

I have lost 10 pounds since my one year weight in on June 14th and I weigh now 235 which is 55 pounds down. So I got back what I gained with my Bipolar medication.

I am back at the gym 3 to 4 times a week on the treadmill working on getting to 5 miles in a hour. Right now I can do 2 miles on 3.5 speed and incline of 3.0!

Iam really working on getting down to 200 by September for my brother's wedding on September 15th!

I will be in and out reading the post to keep updated.

Have a great summer ladies and Keep Up the Great Work!

Love, Hugs and friendship always,

Lisa

Here is my son's Pre-k graduation picture- He has such a cute smile( I know it's only pre-k but he was a premie baby at 2 pounds 11 ounces so he has come a very long way !)

The second is me full lenght 1 year post -op taken in my back yard that I just got developed! Notice the red hair!-lol

Great time in Vegas. Had some challenges getting home on Sunday. Got my luggage today. Tried to unload pics from camera and no luck so far. Will try again when my patience is better.

I didn't have to logon to this board when I brought it up this time. I rebooted because I was loading software. Maybe you just have to do a few times for it to take.

Made fill appt for Wednesday. Trip to Netherlands is later in July so going to get fill right now while I can. Wasn't mentally prepared for this week, but what the heck.

Internet access was $5/for a few minutes in a open area with nothing but a ball mouse. Made for people to get boarding passess. We thought of all of you often.

Barb:

The Pictures are great but I do not know who every one is in the pictures! I know what you, Pinkylee, Melissa and Socalgal look like, did anyone else go? Also you all look so different! Wow! Can you post the pictures with the names of the people who are in them( Sorry I really do not recognize some of them!)

Thanks,

Lisa

Just got in from Vegas and did a quick review of the posted pictures. One might think we did some drinking by looking at many of the pictures......just wanted everyone to know that those were Protein Drinks, being the good bandsters that we are.

What a great group! What a great time! The only thing better would have been if more of you could have been there.

Thanks to Barb465 for planning everything and to everyone else for being such great vacation partners.

I'll try to rename the pictures so you will know who everyone is, but not tonight. Too tired and still need to unpack. Barbara465, Barbara12, SoCalgirl, Pinkylee, and Melissa Lea are in the pictures.

P.S. They make good Protein drinks in Vegas. Try them when you go. :)

Barb 465:

It took me a while but when I clicked on the pictures to make them bigger I figured out who eveyone was. I never knew what Barb 12 looked liked like, since I have not seen her post any recent pictures of herself. She was the missing link in the pictures!-lol

You all look great and look like you had a blast!

Well I guess when I go to my brother's Wedding in September I will have to post my pictures when I get back for you all to see!

That's my one and only vacation this year and its costly -- 2 adults and 1 child from September 13- September 18th to San Francisco- Staying in Fisherman's Wharf. ( Airfare and hotel). Then add in spending money ! The Wedding is September 15th.

I have to buy my dress and accessories for me. Iam going the end of August so I will have more weight off by then . My husband has to get a new suit and shoes. My son has to rent his little tux since he is the ring bearer.

I love my bother dearly, but did he have to move to San Francisco for work in 2000 and end up staying out there!

He was supposed to only be there for 2 years and now is more than 7!

Then he fell in love with Christine ( His name is Danny).

This is costing me so much money -- I swear I just paid off my credit card debut and I am almost back in debut with this trip !-lol

But I guess you ladies know what Iam talking about! Have credit card will spend !--lol

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
