WOW! Great Job! 5 miles that is terrific..I've only been doing the treadmill for 1.5...but it takes me 30 minutes to do that. I don't think I will ever enjoy exercising!

I'm in the same boat. It takes me 20 minutes to walk a mile on my treadmill, and I'm walking pretty briskly, too, I think! I have to turn on the TV and go. But I've never exercised, so this is all new to me. As a matter of fact, I should get off the internet, and go get on it. :thumbup:

well sadly I wont achieve my easter goal. I have ban erosion not even 4 months after getting the band and it is being removed in 2 weeks. Right now I am completely unfilled and my doc tells me not to be disappointed if I gain weight back :)

Weighed myself this morning and I lost 1/2 a kg in a week. Wish me luck that I don't gain any weight. I'll try to keep up with the challenge but not holding my breathe

Good luck everyone

I have tomorrow and next Sunday to weigh in for my Valentine's Day challenge, but I'm signing up for the Easter challenge now. I'd like to be 170 by Easter (with the plateauing that I've been dealing with, who knows if that is even going to happen--I've been going back anf forth between 185 and 182 for the last 3 weeks).

Hope everyone is doing well!

I had a really short sharp pain in my band area one day out of no where for a minute. Then i had smoe tubing pain located under my boobs and then one night I drank Water too fast pbed and had acid relux for a few hours. I went to my doctor and he checked my port and tubing areas and said I lost too much fat in my stomach area and that my tubing was close to my skin causing a little pain. He then did a camera test sticking a camera down my throat and found a tiny little area where my band was eroding into my stomach ( he almost missed it, it is such a small hole but he checked again and again and finally saw it). I am on 2 weeks of strong meds hoping the hole will heal itself but he wants my band out wait 3 months then get a new different kind of band.

We only found the band erosion so soon because I am a baby for pain and wanted to know right away what was wrong with me.

I was fine 2 weeks ago but it was from my appointment with him 2 weeks ago and when I saw him 2 days ago that things changed. :woot:

I had a great week and my last fill finally started to work and I think I'm at my sweet spot. I lost 4 lbs this week putting me at 200.5. I'm so excited that I'm so close to being out of the 200's. I don't remember where I started at for our challenge but I think I'm progressing along well. Hope everyone is having a good week.

I would like to join the challenge also, I would love to lose 30lb by Easter, but with it only being 7 weeks away, I think 15lb. is a little more realistic. Good luck everyone.

      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.
