Hi Everyone,

Just got back from Vegas. Got to see Lisa and we had a good time. On saturday evening, I was on on my own and after dinner, I went to Fremont street to a

few clubs. Later inthe evening, I went to the Golden Nugget. I was walking around the casino and heard some excitement at one ot the craps tables. I went over to look. I dont know how to play craps, but apparently there were 3 heavy hitters at the table dropping some big bucks. I stood there for about a half hour and there was a man standing next to me in blue jeans, baseball cap and sneakers. I thought he looked familiar and he was pleasant enough. A short while later, one of the heavy hitters to my right asked me if I wanted to be the roller. I figured it wasnt my money, so why not? LOL While I was throwing the dice for about 10 minutes or so, I kept looking at the guy next to me. ONe of the heavy hitters said something to Bruce and I finally figured out who it was. I probably was the cause of at least a 10K loss for each of them, since what I was throwing didnt appear to help anyone with the winnings. Two of the heavy hitter guys told me that they collectively had already lost 150K that evening. They should have just given it to me to spend instead!! LOL Two of the heavy hitters invited me to the High Rollers private party they were having. Bruce Willis was there along with about 50 other people and I danced for about a half hour. On Sunday, when I was at the Bellagio Hotel, one of the bartenders told me that Bruce was in Vegas for a celebrity poker tournament and also Leonardo DeCaprio. (No, I didnt meet him) I did go to a couple of clubs at the Bellagio on SUnday and I was amazed that I did not have to wait on the long lines. I think because I was brave and walked right up to VIP entrance with no hesitation, the gates opened and I was let in without anyone blinking an eye. Anyway, I had fun and it certainly was an experience to remember.!

Clear up a mystery for me. How tall is Bruce? I was pretty sure I saw him in NYC once or twice, but the guy I saw was shorter than I. I'm 5'10" and he was about 5'8" or so. So was it him, or just a dead ringer?

Vacationing solo sounds heavenly. But I'm afraid Las Vegas would be wayyy too much fun for me. :)

Hi Alex:

Bruce is very short. He is definitely less than 5" 10 and he looked kinda scrawny to me. He also was very pale and pasty looking and looked really old. Thats why it took me so long to figure out it was him.

Penni: You can party with me anytime! I always find activity and rarely get bored. I was really glad to see Lisa and have fun with her and her friend Stacey on Friday night.

Babs- What a fun time you had! I'm so jealous of your big hitter night. Do you think you would have been so brave before you lost weight? I always wonder what happens to me that wouldn't have, or that I wouldn't have done before I lost weight. What do you think?

Hi Megan,

I was pretty brave before I lost the weight. I was always sticking my nose in somewhere and getting reactions. Yes, I am more confident now as a size 12/14/16 than I was at a 28 though. I smile a lot and people are drawn to that. No, I will never be a great beauty with my clothes off, but I think I look fair to middlin with them on! LOL. Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But being fat does make you feel invisble sometimes.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
