Dallas Texas Meet-up April 3rd - Suggestions Needed



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to post a topic to open it up for discussion.

We'll be traveling to Texas on March 29th through April 4th. I've talked with several of the ladies in the D/FW area and we decided to get together on April 3rd for lunch, socializing, and maybe shopping.

None of the specific details have been hammered out yet. I would like to find a place that will accommodate all of our pre/post-op diet needs regardless of which stage in the pre/post-op diet all of us may be at during this time.

I am extremely open, and can pretty much eat anything. I would prefer it not be a strict seafood place, but if they have chicken I can handle that.

Also, I wondered about what general area around Dallas would be convenient for everyone. I am not going to be anywhere close to D/FW about 45 minutes west of Fort Worth, but I'm willing to make the drive.

So, with that in mind, and the fact that I haven't lived in Texas for almost 3 years, I need some suggestions, and input on where we all can meet up that is a good location with good places to eat, and maybe some shopping.

Everyone, and I mean everyone is welcome to join us, and I believe the more the merrier.

So, post away your suggestions, and let's see if we can't get some details panned out before the date creeps up us and we have to fly by the seat of our pants.

Thanks and I honestly can not wait to see y'all ! ! !

Grapevine Mills has the best shopping around DFW (on a budget) they also a Chilis inside and dozens of great places to eat outside the mall. Also, right around the corner is The Gaylord Texas Hotel that has BEAUTIFUL places to eat inside. They can handle any number of diners and it is not expensive. This really is a stunning place on the inside. It is very easy to get to and has easy freeway access.

Just a thought....

I love Grapevine mills, and the Gaylord ! ! !

I lived in Bedford for most of my adult life, and frequented Grapevine mills. There are some really great places to eat around that area. I think they even have the Rainforest Cafe in there.

Great ideas, and let's hope others chime in.

      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.
