You guys are so lucky. Wish I could be going with you but Suzie Doesn't fly and it would be to long of a drive to do by myself. I think it's a 14 hour drive. I was kinda hoping for Tunica. That would have been about a 7-8 hour drive and would have put me thru St. Louis where I could have picked up a couple of Hitch Hiking Violets. Well, maybe next year you'll pick a place closer. Besides that will give me more time to lose more weight and look not so frightning in a bathing suit. Can't wait to see all the pics. Someone needs to come up with a website to post them so the whole world won't see.

You guys have fun and think of me while your floating.

Suzanne---we are drugging Jen, and Laura to get them to fly----c'mon!!! Believe me, I am going to have so many people laughing at me in a swimming suit, you have no chance of scaring any of them!!!! Would LOVE for you to join us in the fun!!!

While I would love to do as you ask and think of you while floating---I think I will be concentrating on staying right side up!!!

Keep thinking about it.....

FLIGHTS

Make sure you check for price breaks flying into Houston rather than San Antonio. If you can get to Houston by noon or so, one of us can lag behind and pick up an IAH crew. (Michelle is finding that her costs are much less flying into Houston, for example)

TracyK can even pick up from Houston Hobby which is where Southwest flies into.

Keep in mind that traffic on a Friday afternoon starts getting real heavy with folks trying to get out of town, etc....so getting here before noon would be extremely helpful. That would get you into Gruene by 4:00-5:00.

Kat - Gruene is 3 hours from Houston, but 4 hours from where Tracy lives. Haydee and I live closest to IAH; Tracy lives closest to Hobby Airport.

I just figure we'll be chatting at 100 miles an hour that those 3 hours would fly by! Especially if you'd have to connect thru IAH or Dallas anyway...the time you'd save wouldn't be that significant. Y'know?

Laura - darling... I have your connection.... I just got some .... but I have something else I'm going to take.... I'm putting them in the mail!!!!!!!!!!
That is illegal on about 20 different levels!!!:) LOL!!!

        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
