Recommended Posts

Hello every1, I was banded on July 17 and I had only lost 30 pounds...To me, that was slow but to others it was like a miracle! I was starting to look really good in clothes.

But now, I lost the good feeling. The holidays screwed me ova! Or should I jus say I screwed myself :thumbup: but anyways, Im determined to get right back on track! And I wanted to share my 1 min weight loss pics with every1 because maybe it will motivate some...And I really need some motivation too so if any1 has helpful advice, pics, or videos, please share them with others. Thanks alot :)

Thanks Hummingbird! That's 1 of the things that's keeping me real motivated! Just thinking about how cute I'm going to look in sexy clothing! My bf is already jealous so just imagine when more eyes on me :thumbup: lol

thanks Mimi...I'm at 6.7cc Im hoping to lose weight quickly, Im not even hungry anymore. All of a sudden, I have no appetite and I can't finish the rest of my food...Is this the sweet spot? I hope so and I hope it stays like this forever! lol

I really needed this today. I am 10 days post-op, nausea and most of the pain has passed and now I AM READY TO EAT!!!! I'm physically and mentally hungry and so help me, I don't know how much longer I can take shakes, sugar free pudding and broth! Seeing your progress over time does help! What confidence you obviously have and man, oh, man, I hope someday I can wear something like that animal print mini you've got on! MEEEEE-OW! Very sexy!

I had that problem as well..I kept on drinkin soda only because I knew nothing would happen. I mean, its going to mess up the band if we continue to drink it but while Im drinking it, nothing happens at the moment. Maybe that's something we both can start to change. As with excersizing, I dont really like doing it. But I find that when I go to the gym and take a class, it makes me feel better.

I totally understand what you are going through. I remember when I was post op I was in ALOT of pain so I didnt really care about eating. It wasn until the pain was gone, I would want to eat and I mean EAT!..Your going to be in "bandster hell" and honestly the only way you can get through this is with will power and determination. And I'm glad my video helped! Just keep thinking about the mini animal print dress that you will be wearing real soon! Good luck :confused:

I can give you an alternative to soda. Fill a 2 qt. pitcher with VERY HOT Water. Hang 4 reg. size Lipton tea bags in it and let it seep for a couple hours. Then add 5 sweet n low packets. Fill the rest of the pitcher with ice ........yum.

      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.
