Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

The fashion show today was a great success and much fun! I'm glad so many of you were able to join us. We'll be meeting again next month and I would like to invite anyone that'd like to join us! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday May 10, 2008

Time: 2 p.m.

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store. We will have a helium balloon marking our group.

All you have to bring is your smile... but if you want to you are welcome to bring outgrown clothes to share with those that might need/want them as well as a "before" picture to add to our group photo album.

I hope to see you there!!!!

I can't commit just yet. It seems as though each month I have trouble with the date. Argh! I will have to let you know. Worse case scenario, I will have to just make a trip down and see whoever can meet me and we'll go for dinner and drinks or something!

I'm always up for that Carole! The meetings are currently set for the second Saturday of each month. However, we can always add a second meeting and anyone that can make it can join us... The month between meetings seems so long for me... I miss everyone!

I agree! It sounds like there was a good turn out at the last meeting. That is so exciting! I am all for another get together when you are feeling up to it Carol!

I am almost too embarrassed to ask but I'll have some 30/32 items I could bring to the May meeting if there is someone who is needing those. I know alot of you are way below me on sizes but I'll get there some day soon!

Personal Message me for more details:rolleyes2:.

Speaking of clothes... I just finished going through my boxed up things and have filled another entire box for our next get together. What I'm wondering is... would anyone be up for a size 24 swimsuit? I haven't tried it on yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be way too big. If it is, I'd love to bring it in too... I just wasn't sure if it was too personal of an item to share.

I love the suit that I got from Juli at our first meeting, but as much as we live at that pool, another suit would be wonderful! (that is if no one else needs it) I don't want to be a clothes hog! :0)

Hi All,

Nice to see you after the style show. I've got 6x/32 size clothes if anyone needs them. Please post here or email me (seebs22@hotmail.com) and I'll provide. I'm finally in 26/28 so I can now shop in the normal plus size stores instead of only those that have extended sizes. Great feeling.

I'm still battling the same 3 pounds around the 63-66 pound loss range. Gain/lose/gain/lose those same 3 pounds. Boy am I tired of those same 3 pounds. But my waist is smaller so I wonder where those 3 pounds are moving to? Maybe I'll get my hair cut to lose them!

Guess I need a fill.

Niki, I will bring the suit to our next meeting... I have to try it on but I'm pretty sure it won't fit. :-)

Hey kids. I'm sorry I won't be at that meeting on the 10th. I'm going to be slogging along with 3000 other people riding my bike from Columbus to Portsmouth. Carol will be doing it with me next year, won't cha? Now mind you if it's raining cats and dogs, you all will see me, because I'm a fair weather cyclist.

I could swing something on the 11th, or anyone the 14th or 15th in the PM I could do. That's my spring break week! No school for me! YEAH!

We just got our work schedule and I am working the night of the 9th and 10th. Usually I would sleep the day of the 10th (go figure, I have a hard time working being up for 3 days straight) but I really want to go the the meeting...I will have to figure something out I guess.

Juli--the 11, 14, and 15 all work for me if you want to try to get together! Does your DD have school that week?

      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.
