NEW! 2008 Shrinkin' Vi's Trip Planning Thread!!



Recommended Posts

I wish we could go together TracyK----I need one so bad, but keep waiting---my shape is nothing I want seen in a bathing suit at this point!!! I am all hanging belly----------yeeeeeeuuuuucccckkkkk!!!

I took my old suit with us when Rick and I went somewhere, probably Albq to his Dr. and we hit the hot tub, late, just the 2 of us, to unwind....it was fine when it was dry--------just a bit big. But when it got wet! OMG---I was so glad it was just the 2 of us!!! The weight of the wet fabric made it hang--the crotch of the suit was almost to my knees!!! I wrapped a towel around me and flapped my way back to the room!!!

So yeah I need one too!

As for some of the rooms-------if they are bigger, as in suites, we can do more than 2 to a room maybe?

However it works out is good by me.

Going to go read the other thread, see what is up today...

Will we be swimming? Scary thought for me trying on a bathing suit! I am not worried about all you gals, its just the others that would see me.

As far as a roommate goes, no big deal Michelle, like I said before whatever and I really mean it. Even if there is not a room mate left I can sleep by myself in another room or sleep on someones fold out couch if rooms are an issue.

There will be plenty to do if we opt not to swim!!!

TracyK - I'll be happy to go shopping with you! I'm sure we'll find a weekend between now and then.

There are some great suits out there now that can really keep you all tucked in....like a big ol' SPANX! lol They're usually on the expensive end (like $65-100) but they do the job!! Dillard's always has many to choose from...that's where I usually end up buying a suit. I'll bet Penney's has 'em too.

Terry, I'll get back to you later. Waiting for my dad to get back to me, so I can find out what kind of rooms are available during that time. Hopefully, there's no major exciting events going on that weekend :smile:

I'm excited about bathing suit this year! Even in my 300+lb glory, I always wore tankinis (always long enough to not show belly, and boy shorts instead of bikini bottoms).

I still plan on the same style, but it will be a much smaller size and hopefully I fit well into it! I'm not buying a swimsuit anytime soon, I'm still losing steadily, so I hope to be at least a solid size 16 when the real swim season is here!

I already got rid of my old bathing suits, they're worthless to me now! They're all size 24/26.

Well, I am counting on the indoor pool being open LATE at night so I can go swimming. If not, the people can just stare if they want to. I have sat on the sidelines too many years. It's funny, I remember in August when I was SO nervous to even go in a swimsuit in front of my family at dd birthday party, remember that? My how things change.

If anyone can understand about those not wanting to swim, its me!!

Woops, I was so frazzled I posted it in the wrong thread.

I asked him if he wanted to go, he said he can't plan that far out in advance with work.

I'm so so sorry, he said he's sorry too, he thought he could just get the rooms. But they said he had to be there (I guess so they know money is gonna be dropped!!).

This is such a bummer.

Michelle I hand the torch back to you, and I'm gonna sit quietly in the corner.:eek:

Laura,

Can we still go and get a block of rooms at a discounted rate? How much are the rooms anyway? Just cause they are not free, doesn't mean this is a wash, right? I mean, we were gonna drop some $ on the other thingy too, plus airfare. Anyone wanna come to Palm Springs? Just kidding, or am I:cool:?

        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
