Hello, everyone, just wanted to let you all know what a fabulous holiday weekend I had. First off, I was able to meet Penni, and I have to tell you all she is even more wonderful and beautiful in person. She treated my kids and I too a wonderful lunch and I'm only sad that we didnt' have more time to spend together. She is just awesome and sooooooooooooo beautiful. After we left Penni, we went to check into our hotel in Orlando, it was fabulous, our room was really nice, with an awesome view, there were three pools at the resort and four restaurants and best of all, I had a facial at their spa. Really nice. The kids and I spent all Sat afternoon by the pool, they had a blast, we didn't leave the pool until 8:30 that night, boy they were pooped. My husband got there about 9 pm, so it was too late to go out and do anything (too band we didn't have a sitter up there, cause I sure would have liked to go out on the town.) I tried talking my husband into going downstairs to hang out at one of the restaurants but he was tired from working all day and then driving up. Well on Sun, we had planned to go to SeaWorld,but the kids didn't want to go, they wanted to go back to the pool, and that was perfectly fine for us. So we spent all day by the pool, had a couple of drinks and played w/ the kids. We had such a wonderful time, that afternoon we went out to dinner and hung out at downtown Disney, the kids rode the train and the carousel out there and I did a little bit of shopping. Well, Just had to share my fabulouse weekend w/ all of you. And to tell Penni, thank you, so very much for lunch and for giving me a little of your time, I really loved meeting you, you are just fabulous. Ya'll have a great day, I better get to work, my boss comes back to town tomorrow, so I have to clean her desk off today. Yuck!!!

I know she is just wonderful, I can't believe more of my bansters on here aren't interested in my visit with her, cause I'm sure still excited about having met her. She is so caring and compassionate to each and everyone of us on this board, so it was truly my pleasure to meet her. And she bought me and my three kids lunch, so that's how much more wonderful she is, she also put up with my four year olds twenty million questions and still kept a smile on her face. Well, I'm disappointed that more people haven't responded to my wonderful post about meeting Miss Penni.

No, Penni lives in California, but she came to Orlando, Florida to spend the holiday weekend w/ her daughter and son-in-law. So since I am only a couple of hours away I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to meet her and we did. It was wonderful.

        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
