I know it's long shot but if anyone is interested. I am doing a grand opening of a local tattoo shop (crestwood IL) and we will be doing free piercings. I can get a card with the promotion if anyone is interested. Here is a copy of the flyer, but you would need an original. I have a few and can get more if anyone wants one. ~Mandy

Sonia, when you get ready for the piercing, it will be my pleasure to do it at no charge for you. Think of it as my way of rewarding you for all the hard work. Since your inlaws are coming on sat can you sneek away for a little while on sunday? I have a sitter if needed for sunday, even though I will be tired I can make it to Panera. Everyone let me know when you want to do this. ~Mandy

Sweet Violet had PM me and was going to come down on Sat with me. I will let her know that plans have changed. Also I am not sure I can make it. I am at my brother's trying to help him pack to move. They are closing on their house Aug 1st. I am suppose to go home today however.... Last night's strom cause their basement to flood twice (no damage caught it in time) and then at 2 in the morning we found a tree in their swimming pool (was struck by lighting). When it rains it pours......

I am staying to help them today but between helping them and needing to get things done at my place I am not sure I will be able to make it.

Sorry.

Mandy good luck with your surgery.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Here is what I understand from responses for a gathering this weekend.

Sonia ~ could not make it Sat or Sunday

Mandy ~ I am hoping you can still make Sun, I know you said you will be really tired but I hope you can make it.

Lala ~ can you make it this Sunday.

I will call Sweet Violet tomorrow. We talked yesterday but she had to hang up before I could confirm anything with her.

So Sunday at 1 pm Panera in Oakbrook, does this sound okay?

1pm, I will be there. I worked 10 hours yesterday after only a few hours sleep, then I went and picked up my Harry Potter last night, I was pretty far back in line so I didn't get to the register until after 1am. I came home and colapsed into a puddle across the foot of my bed. I am up showered and heading back to work, another 10 or so hours. I will get some sleep tonight and be there tomorrow. ~Mandy

        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!

      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
