I was at the patio chairs at side of Starbucks by grass. I would occasionally get up and look around for people and check the patio right outside Starbucks door. I arrived at 6:10 and waited until 7:30 before leaving. I was by myself the entire time.

I never cancelled and am truly confused as to where the idea came from.

The location issue is another reason why iam sure arch of a better meeting spot. The spectrum is nice but parking is difficult.

I said that I couldn't come. Im just one person. It is not unusual to have some bumps when any group gets started. I hope that we can have some grace for each other as we go through these changes. Along with body changes, my emotions change with the wind lately. July 2nd is a good time for me and I will show-up. :)

I look forward to seeing you. How is it going? I have been super tired lately. I'm making sure I get my Vitamins in.

I'm kind of scared reading about other peoples post issues. I'm ok though. I have about 15 lbs to lose before my surgeons visit. That is going to be 3 weeks before surgery. Working full time while getting ready is tough but I can do this. How are you doing with your Protein?

I can't say you will be issue free but all in all the issues aren't too bad. It is a major surgery. Rest and Fluid and movement are your basics. I vomited for the first 24 hrs and survived just fine. What ones bother you?

I had 75 g yesterday and working up today. I have been introducing foods. Just had cheese and deli turkey. No problems.

Biggest post sx key is sipping. Constant sipping.

It sounds like you are doing well with your Protein. I guess I'm afraid of complications. I've never even had stitches. I'm glad that I've had so much pre-op testing. You've had the sleeve, right? It's been a few days of incorporating food, how are you doing? Are you back at work? That is something that concerns me, I have to work but...this is my life and I need to take the right amount of time after surgery. Have you found a place to meet on 7/2 yet?

I just got back from a mini vacation in Laughlin. I've been eating soft foods for a few days now.

I've had 2 c-sections and a few other surgeries. I can talk to you more in person about what it's like.

I will find a place very soon.

We could sit inside too, I know there is booths and chairs but not sure about arms. I can check for you, don't want you to have to do that.

No worries I was going that way for a sale ;) The chairs have arms but I'll ask to bring an inside chair out. I'm use to this but one thing I won't miss. See you Wednesday!

      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.
