It takes time. It's summer and people are on vacation and out doing other things.

We have binders with different topics for every month.

Good morning everyone!

Yes, although our meeting was small, it was FUN! The next meeting is July 16 and we will spend the first 10 mins doing introductions and 10 mins on other administrative issues (vote on Rules, ask for volunteers for taking minutes, carpooling). The other 40 minutes will be a lesson (haven't decided which one I'll do first - but I have 5) and Q&A. A clothing swap has been proposed, so that will be after the meeting.

Thanks!

"Rome Wasn't Built in a Day"

We had 11 members at our first NYC meeting. I promise if we keep at it we can make BP Support Groups a huge powerhouse. It'll take a little time but it'll be solid once it's in place :D

      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.
