After my meeting in Chicago I headed to the 'burbs (Naperville, beautiful area, adorable little downtown) where my department's main office is. I'm part of a virtual team, so all of our management and MOST of the department are there, while a few of us are out & about in other states. So it's nice to be able to see people I only see a few times a year. Our Sr VP was there and she kept looking at me really weird... like we were talking and I'd look at her and notice she was looking down at me, or would have a weird look on her face. It got to the point where when they announced lunch had arrived, I excused myself to the bathroom to see if I had sat in something, or had gotten pen on my face or had a boogey in my nose or something. No, I looked ok. I got back and as soon as I walked in she started staring at me weird again, looking at my crotch so I was like "Oh crap I have camel toe..."... snuck a peek at my reflection in the window and I was ok... really confused & paranoid right about now. People took off to the lunchroom and she asked me to hang out a bit. Then she said, "You've really lost a lot of weight!? What are you doing?" *PHEW* I told her she had me worried I had a boogey in my nose and she said no, she was just amazed/speechless, and wanted to see if I mentioned anything before she said something on her own.

Did I say *PHEW* yet? That was about 30 minutes of total & complete paranoia!

Thursday works for me as well, though if we are just meeting for drinks and chat, I might not show up until around 7 or 8pm so I can help put the munchkin to bed first.

I work at Overland Park Regional on Thursday until 7:15, so if we could meet maybe somewhere in OP that would be good for me....Also, I'll probably be a little hungry after working all day, so if we could maybe do a place that does food and drinks that would be good :) . How about Cheesecake Factory in OP? I'm up for anything though. Funny you mentioned this today Wheets, because I was laying in bed this morning thinking to myself "I should post today and ask if anyone wants to get together again sometime soon". :mad: I guess it's true, great minds think alike!:)

Wheets - Love the story about Naperville. Hate it when you get that unnerving feeling that you must have wore your shirt inside out or have something else amis. But you also gotta love the affirmation that people really are noticing the change. It is so easy to feel that things really haven't changed much when we look in the mirror of our minds eye.

Robyn - :hungry:Cheesecake Factory sounds fine with me after all Cheesecake is a Protein dish is it not? :) Wherever you all decide is good with me.

Aye Captain - See you there.

My type "A" says with us all arriving at potentially different times how about telling them at the front that the table is under the name Chica's so the waiters can show us late arrivers where to go

I should ask, how far into OP is the Cheesecake Factory? What is it by?

Just trying to figure out how my timing will work, b/c there's a chance I need to stay at work until 5, and I have to run home before running back out. I'll be there, just may have to see if I can reschedule my meeting.

It's about a half mile from Town Center Plaza...close to the Sprint Campus. Let's see I think that is like 119th and Metcalf area?? I'll look it up on-line.

        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.

      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
