Hey Lou Lou,

Am so please for you - I read your posts with interest and am so glad that you are mostly happy and upbeat about the whole thing.. So many of these forums you go on and everyone is so negative! Start my pre-op diet on Thurs and op on the 25th this month. I am of the firm belief that if i go into this with a positive attitude and don't try and cheat - that I'm going to better off (& lighter)!!!

Any tips or pointers that you have - especially for the pre-op diet to start with would be greatly appreciated! Cheers,

Thing Thin Thoughts!

Yes Lou ...you are always so possitive , its something I need to learn ..I have been a glass half empty kind of person all my life , always expecting the worst I HAVE to CHANGE...Hubby is a very Optomistic /possitive person ...Lucky for me couldn`t imagine having two sad sacks around , I hope when the banding is done and I can see the weigh coming off my spirits will lift.....

Looking forward to more of your happy possitive posts....

M.xx

I love my band too!!! It has not been easy, that is for sure! I think most of the reason I have been so successful is because of my positive attitude. I am really grateful for my band!!

I just had my 1st bandiversary and I am close to 30 kilos down. Since my last fill I am greatly restricted in what I can eat but I am still enjoying my new body and I am willing to accept the restrictions of my band. I still feel very positive and would recommend a band to anyone who is commited to a life change. I do have my down days but all I have to do is look in the mirror and I feel a whole lot better! My tip is to have fills and don't be discouraged if you can't eat some foods, - that is the whole point! I figure that I have eaten enough in my lifetime and now I have to accept that there are some foods that I will never eat again.

      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
