Buffalo Bound this weekend!



Recommended Posts

I know this is a silly thing to get excited about but I can't WAIT!!! DH and I are going to Buffalo for the wknd to shop. We are hitting a TARGET!!!! (for any non-Canucks reading this, there are no Targets in Canada)....whooo hoooooo......I'm gonna get me some much needed (smaller) bras and underwear!!! Of course we'll hit the big Walden Galleria Mall which is next to the Target as well!!!

The in-laws live in Niagara Falls (Canuck side) so we'll stop and visit them, of course, on the way back!!

We normally go away every year for a trip (ie. Mexico last year) but it doesn't look like it will happen this year....so this is my mini-trip!! LOL. Hey, I'll take what I can get!!!!!!

We always refer to the thrift stores as "boutiques". The best ones for clothes seem to be the womens' ones, WIN (women in need) etc. I know a lot of women who will donate only to those stores.

Hi Kimmason,

I had to wait until my vacation time at work, as i didn't want to tell them what i was doing for sick time. as far as how i'm doing, don't be fooled, 275 is just my all time high, right now, i have gone from 200 to 232 in about 6 months!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
