September Get-Together



Recommended Posts

We had a great time at PF Chang's this evening. We shared our orders and the total cost was $9 per person! Missed those of you who didn't make it!

We decided on Saturday, September 27th, for our next "meeting". The location is the Claim Jumper at Green Valley Parkway and 215; 601 N Green Valley Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89074. Reservations will be for 5:00 pm.

They have a great menu of fish, Soups, salads...and we can share Entrees between us because the sizes are large; also, they offer half size portions. Check out the menu at www.claimjumper.com

If you sign up to come, but are unable to make it at the last minute - please post a regret. We are saving seats based on your sign up and it's embarrassing when 5-6 people are no-shows. Things do happen, so just let us know if something will keep you away.

We have a great time and hope lots of you will come in September!!

Mary: Count me in for sure!!!

I can't wait!!! I'll be sure to charge my camera battery this time! LOL

OH- the dish I was telling you about is called "Whiskey Chicken" (Favorites list on menu)

The other great thing is you can change ALL the sides dishes for more healthier choices if you decide to!

I love Claim Jumper!

GolfGirl: We missed you- hope to see you next month!

I'm going to post this on the August Get-Together Thread so people can find the link!!!

YIPPEE!!!

Let me tell you- I feel so much better after our get togethers. They are educational, fun, helpful, and comforting. I don't know anyone who has had this done. I know so many people that have had Bypass and they just want me to follow their rules and can't understand the differences when I explain it to them. It's a bit frustrating, but I know they mean well.

You're going to love our group and I am looking forward to meeting you!:blink:

Thanks!! We made the trip but changed it to DC instead of NY. I have been there, San Francisco, and now I am in Phoenix... all in the last 2 weeks/3 weekends.

BUSY! But tons of fun.

Felicia- I envy your traveling habits! I use to be "on the go" all the time (before the kids) I'm so glad you've been having fun the past few weeks- you deserve it! :thumbdown:

Tiffany- of course you can join us! It will be fabulous to have another friend come along with us...

I really need this get together- I haven't lost any weight in a couple of weeks. I have no idea what's up? I think my meds are off now b/c I weigh so much less and my blood levels are so much better. UGH! I don't see the doctor until the end of September and I'm a bit stressed right now. I'm gonna go work out- maybe I'll feel better after that.

I'll be home for a while now... I am taking 2 classes at a time from now until December 15 - GRADUATION. It will be worth it to be a homebody for a while. :tt2:

Tiffany, welcome. We would love to have you join us.

Yvonne, how's the food diary looking? That's always the first place I look. It's easy to not realize how much or how little we eat - both are bad for the waistline. Too much can cause you to not lose or worse, gain. Too little can make you lose slooooow or not at all.

Hi all,

Just touching base, I am still not sure if I will be in town to make this months get together. I really would like to meet all of you and get your support. I could use some input on how to get past this stand still I'm at on the scale. I'm not gaining, but I'm not loosing anything either. I should know in the next few days if I'll be able to make it on the 27th.

These meetings are the best and I look forward to seeing everyone!!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
