It was great getting out and chatting with all of you. How could it not be awesome. The only guy surrounded by lovely ladies. Maybe next time they'll be another male in the group for when the conversation turns to dresses, pantyhose/stockings. If not, guess I'll have to do some research on the subject.

Yes, it was great to see you all and catch up. Cool place, Jack. It was also nice to meet another new person (but I feel bad that I don't remember your name...something with a "J", I think). Looking forward to our next meet-up!

January 28th seems to be the best day as long as we are not going to get a blizzard or another 8 inches of snow we can meet around 2. Since, we have met the last two times in Suffolk County how about someplace in Nassau Counry this time? If anyone has ideas of places to meet in Nassau let the group know.

I am happy to say that I am 2 pounds away from being under 200 pounds in over 10 yrs. I am so happy I finally decided to do the surgery. I purchased a dress in size 16 for my nieces Baptism this coming Saturday from being a size 22/24. I actually have curves again:)

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 28th and hearing how everyone is doing that recently had the surgery.

Have a great week!!!!

Laney, that's awesome that you are so close to being under 200! I don't even remember the last time I was there! Maybe college...so 20+ years ago. Well done!

Thank you Gina, I officially made my first goal and that was to get under 200 pounds and I did that this week:) I set my next goal to be around 180 by the time we go to Disney in April. I am taking it slow and seems to be working out just fine.

Hope all is well with you and see everyone agin soon.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
