Taking a wee holiday



Recommended Posts

No, not from the band! I really am going on my first vacation in several years - I am flying out tomorrow am.:eek: Seeing friends that haven't seen me in years - and we are going to have a rockin' good time!!:biggrin: Of course, the chances are I will also see my ex :frown: and although the ex and the new missus might be initially an awkward situation, we are all adults, and I am SO past it.

I will however not be accessing any computers, so I will miss all the conversations, laughs, NSV's and pity parties of the VVs. So, here's the deal, you guys bravely face the next 11 days without me...I know, I know, but you CAN do it! And then, when I get back, I will read each and every post and get caught up on all the news.

you won't forget me, will you??? :lol:

I will let you all know my experiences with flying with the band, vacationing without good restriction, encounters of the ex-kind, and seeing friends who don't know about the band.

Take care, keep up the Protein intake, watch for those insidious 'just one taste' devils, and repeat after me "I can do this; I will do this"

Tippy tappy away....

Hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy it to the fullest. I think that can be done without much food. Not sure though, it used to be a big part of vacations for me. Make the ex good and jealous by not giving a damn.

        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
