oh my god i am soo ecxited to meet all of you!!!!! i just sent a bunch of clothes to my cousins wife in ohio who is very large and pregnant to boot so i don't have clothes to share but i think i will mooch clothes from youall. most were prob too big 30-32, 26-28 but i am now anywhere from 20-24. why are clothes sizes soo screwed up?!?

i agree about meeting at a restaraunt but at least we can split meals and keep each other from ordering crap! i think everyone should bring before pix so we can see how wonderful we are doing!!!

i can't wait for sat!!!! see you at 3

It was so great to meet everyone today!! My only regret is not being able to have more time to talk to some of you individually. We definitely will have to do this again!! And John - maybe we can find another guy to tag along next time. But then again maybe you didn't mind being the lone guy among a sea of women. haha

Thanks again aaamom for setting up today!!!

Hi all! It was great meeting you all today! I agree with Chris, more time to get to talk to everyone would have been great! I missed chatting with you at the other end of the table! Let's do this again soon, shall we say feb or march???

Thanks for all the clothes, Sherry! Most everything fit, even the jeans!!! I may even take back the jeans i bought at Lane Bryant after we split up. How about a shopping excursion to Wrentham and lunch at Cracker Barrel?!? anyone up for it?

anyway, i'm off to clean my kitchen...how it is you leave for a few hours and my dh can totally trash the house. we don't even have kids!!!

hugs to all - Desma

It was AWESOME meeting everyone today and alot of fun. Nice to know the war stories aren't too different huh? Maybe we can do a get together again soon. I think we should try to do one every month or every other month if possible. As they say...there is power in numbers and we have each other. I wouldn't mind hosting it at my house sometime if you folks would like. I realize it's kinda far for some though. But if we wait until summer we can meet and have a cookout here and use the pool, horse shoe pit, volleyball net and basketball court (came with the house lol) if it happens to rain plenty of room inside too...we can take turns riding my stationary bike.......NOT! hahaha

Anyway, I've very glad some of you benefitted from the clothing. I know I appreciated my friends doing that for me as well. Sure helps save money when you're not going to be in a size for a while. You all looked awesome and I can't wait to have another get together!

      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.
