Clear and sunny in LA?!!? You scored! (used to live in So Cal from San Diego to Santa Barbara) I will chose to see this as a most excellent omen for the rest of your trip.

Thanks for sharing and may the force be with you.

Best place to go in SD for site seeing to get an amazing view would be crown point. Check it out! Its so pretty. Best beach would be mission beach. Best thing to at night is go downtown to the Gas Lamp district. Its packed with people walking around, shops, resturants, so much fun. Plus all of that is FREE haha

I know it is!!! I had a really slow first week from all the fluids!! But it seems to be picking up... But best part is I am getting the hang of being sleeved, I went out for dinner for the first time and ordered French onion Soup ate the broth and a bit of cheese and was done, not exactly sure how I knew I was done, but I did!! It took me as long to eat the Soup as my family to finish their meals!! It was not so bad!!!

I am going to increase my exercise this week!! I want out of the 200s by my 40 birthday!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
