Vegas, Baby!



Recommended Posts

I'm getting on a plane in a couple of hours to go to Vegas for a work seminar.

Some good things so far:

Able to pack everything I need in one carryon bag, because my clothes don't take up as much space.

Not worried about who I'll be sitting next to or if I'll make them uncomfortable.

Some not-so-good things so far:

Nobody to go with me.

Some maybe good things:

I've lined up a date for while I'm there.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Some not-so-good things:

What happens in Vegas sometimes shows up on youtube! LOL!

Hope you have a great time!

Side note: It really is crazy how much weight loss impacts your packing. Laundry too!

And that, my friend, is why you have a secret Internet crush on me.

Sounds like fun! I have never been to Vegas, I would love to go!!

Funny story,I was suppose to go to Maui with pals in Feb but had to cancel due to surgical complications recovery. Last week I was at happy hour with friends and as I am prone to do, I chat with all as I head to the ladies room. A couple of older married guys who like talking (safe, harmless flirting, I have met the wives etc) were talking about a Feb trip to Hawaii so I told them my woes. Mike lights up and says "you should go alone, YOU'D have a great time and no lack of company...and what happens in Maui stays in Maui". I couldn't help but laugh! Truth is I am terrible about this sort of thing, I wouldn't hook up with any one..although I'd probably converse with dozens!

So, had a good flight. Had a good date wednesday. Classes were good on thursday.

Until...

My voice started getting scratchy Thursday afternoon.

Still, went on a date Thursday night.

Woke up this morning with no voice whatsoever. (and the masses cheered)

Now I have enough of it back, deep and throaty, that I could be a phone sex operator.

Went to most of my classes, skipped the last one. Resting in my room now on the 13th floor overlooking the strip, before I go out on another date.

Flight home is in the morning.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
