I want to skip our Vegas vacation!



Recommended Posts

Sheesh, my thoughts are all over the place! This August was to be our 3rd annual Vegas trip w/our good single guy friend. They do a football draft and then the three of us whoop it up and have a good time.

I'm focused on having my surgery, hopefully within the next 2-3 months., and I want to skip Vegas. My dh isn't soo much down with my idea. Way deep down, it's b/c I'm thinking, "I don't want to go, b/c I'm fat and I want to wait till next year and I'll feel so much better" Silly, b/c I went last year and the year before that....

It's almost like I want to stop living until I can start living with the band! I think it's making me kind of grumpy in day to day life. ??

Sorry to be a pain in the butt with all my concerns...!

You can't put your life on hold...

I would go and enjoy it while you can. After the band you won't be able to enjoy food or drink as much. Have a good time and take lots of pictures so you can compare this year to next!

I'd go for it in a New York minute! Have lots of pictures taken of yourself, and when you are a goddess next year go back to Vegas and have then taken again...what great "before and after" pix they'll be!!

I agree with the others. GO! Have a fabulous time. Get your mind off everything, and just enjoy yourself.

i can understand you not wanting to go. i go to vegas a lot. i will tell you that most people are totally relaxed and on vacation. everyone chilling. it may be just what you need. your man wants you there. most guys want to go alone. tells me you must be wanted.. i think you should be there for your man and try to make him happy. if hes happy then arent you happy.

Don't put your life on hold. I never did. I even wore swimsuits and went to the beach before banding. F%$# It!! It someone doesn't like it? F%$# them!!! They don't have to look. I did the band for ME. NOT THEM!! You go and have a marvelous time. Next year will be more fun in some ways and less fun in others. It's all relative and balances out in the wash. Just LIVE!!!

You guys are right....I'd laugh if one of my *larger* friends didn't want to go somewhere b/c of their size.

I especially love saying, "fu*k it!"

:) Thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
