Happy Halloween everyone. I'm preparing for my party tonight. The Village Halloween Parade is a sight to be seen for sure and I'm on the parade route so I'm having people over to watch from my apartment. Whoopie Goldberg is the Grand Marshall. If I can, I'll try to get some pictures. Have a fun time trick or treating tonight everyone!

Here's the view from my apartment. The parade was a blast and my party went great. I threw away the potato chips and open bottles of soda. I'm bringing the leftover candy to work on Monday. I'm OK with it in the house for a couple of days...sweets are not my drug of choice. I underestimated how much food I needed...I was worried I'd have too much left over so I didn't buy quite enough. No one left hungry but I used to never run out of food before. I also have sort of forgotten how much food most people eat. I've gotten used to my portions....

So for me, I had some raw veggies with a bit of dip, a couple of mini meatballs, one Hershey kiss, and a few pretzels/chips. Was a little hungry when I finally finished cleaning up so I had a laughing cow low fat cheese wedge and a 100 calorie ice cream and that did the trick. Enjoy the picture I attached. Oh, and we got a good look at Whoopie. She was on a huge float and waving to the crowds.

catching up every one seems to be doing great.. I've been traveling this week. 3 flights in 3 days and one more tomorrow sure has me beat. my band doesn't seem to know if it's coming or going. was doing fine while i was in Santa Clara and Folsom - weather was great but Rainy Portland seems to have tied a know in things. have had a lot of trouble eating since i got here.. guess it's just liquids till i get home :( hoping the scales will be nice - should be i've walked an average of 7 miles a day.. and lifted and moved so many heavy objects during inventory that i've lost count.

      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.
