OMG!!!! I did it, I did it!!! I am under 200 pounds for the first time in as long as i can remember!! I need to lose 4 more pounds to hit my Valentines day challenge goal. I was banded 11/19/09 and after a larger weight loss, i am now losing 2-3 pounds weekly. I cant believe how much this band has helped me. It feels sooo good! Good luck to everyone in this journey! WE can do it!!:mad:

Ugh. Didn't lose anything this week. Kind of bummed but didn't really expect to lose with all the travel and plane rides. It's frustrating though. I worked out three of the four days I was gone. I didn't eat crappy food. I guess it could have been worse, I could have gained! Just going to be super strict with calories and Protein this week.

I lost 3 pounds this week! I'm only 2 pounds away from my goal! Woohoo!!

It's interesting, this last week I've been eating more than what I was, as I am entering that period of bandster hell. However, I think that it bumped up my calorie intake enough that my body no longer thinks it is in starvation mode, and so is now releasing the fat. At least, that's what I hope it is.

Also, this morning as I was getting ready for work, I noticed that when I hold up my breasts, instead of being all firm and full (rather than their normal hanging down near my knees! lol), they are wrinkly! I guess I actually am losing some of my breast fat, thank the good Lord! I was afraid these girls would never get smaller.

On a NSV note, I'm wearing a shirt I was given last year, it's a 2XL, that was too small before, and it fits! There is a tiny bit of gaping in front, but not enough to not wear it. YES!

Thanks to PMS, I didn't lose much weight this week. I was only able to lose 0.4 pounds, not even half a pound! My weight is 229, which is 9.6 pounds from my starting weight. I'm going to get to my goal of 224! We have 3 weeks to go.

      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.
