Las Vegas January Meetup - Sat, Jan 24 @ 1pm



Recommended Posts

Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to 2009 and a renewed opportunity to do the best you can to reach your goals!

I'd like to get as many people as we can to re-start our meetup group after the holiday slow-down.

WHEN: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 1:00pm

WHERE: PF Chang's in Summerlin, on the corner of Charleston and Rampart

Take 215 to Charleston and head East, or take Summerlin Parkway to Rampart and head South; near Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and not far from Rampart Casino or the JW Marriot (I am a landmark person).

I chose PF Chang's again as an oldie, but goodie, and to speed the process along. They have lots of options from which to choose healthy meals, and they are not all necessarily one type of food or another.

Hope to see you there!

Felicia

Meshelle, they have Soup, fish, chicken, veggies.... something for everyone! (That said, Soup 6 months out? Are you saying you can't eat normal food? Maybe you are too tight?)

I am going to keep it Saturday for now, but like Cassy, I am flexible, so we'll see how it goes.

I met a guy last night who had the surgery a year ago and could use support and a kick in the pants to get motivated again. I told him about our lunch and he and his wife may join us.

My mom and I are recent newcomers to the world of Lap Band. She had her surgery 12/15 and I had mine 12/18. We'd love to come and meet with others who are further down the road.

We both had Dr Atkinson from the SWCC do our surgeries.

Thanx, Felicia. I am really trying to knock off a few more pounds for my 1 year band day. I'm having a blast swimming & hiking. Mostly Death Valley, also Red Rocks, Zion + Valley of Fire. I came into town for the Wed. night meeting. I'll catch up with all in Feb. Hasta Pronto, George:thumbup::laugh::thumbup:

Felicia!

Thanks for the welcome. Mom and I will be there with bells on. Did anyone else have their surgery at SWCC? I tried to mention this get together at the last meeting but no one seemed to have heard me. There was probably at least 30 people or more at the support group.

Yes, quite a few of us had it with SWCC and some that did not have their fills and after care there. We're a mixed bunch, but we're good people!

See you in a few hours!

        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
