You all are doing great :)

I hit 50 # lost today. I'm with you sandiegokate the band is great!!!

I told my Mom I had lost 50#. And she said how great it was but she hoped I didn't gain it back.

I could confidently say I know I won't and I know I will keep losing. What a wonderful feeling.

Good journey all,

MaggieGT

You have done an amazing job. I was banded in Aug and still haven't lost 30 pounds. What are you doing, for the last month I haven't lost anything. I was unable to exercise because of back problems. Hopefully this month I will do better. I only have 40 something pounds to get off. Please send me what you are doing I need to try something else. I go back to doc tomorrow and afraid of what he may say.

I am so happy for you. I love my band. If you let it work it will. It was warm and sunny here in Oklahoma yesterday, so I pulled out the capri's and flip flops. Went to the closet I put on the smallest capri's I could find, when I walked they fell to my ankles. I was so so HAPPY. I really felt like I have done it. Just want to do it better on my next 60lbs. Congrats everyone.

Gratz to you and everybody else on your 6 months out!

It's not even been a year and it feels like I've had this forever. In a good way though!

Best of luck to you all for the next 6 months!

Last time I went to doctor they took out .3cc because I couldn't eat salads, chicken,etc..

Went back this week and I had gained. It was kind of nice to have a breather from it and eat more variety but I was too hungry and ate too much.:sad:

The PA put back .2cc and today I'm not hungry at all. :wub:

So I'm excited. I'm on liquids then mushes so don't know if what I will be able to eat later.

Glad to be back on my journey,

Maggie

Hi I have a question I have been having more diff. eating lately. not sure if I'm just going to fast or not chewing good enough or could I be to tight?? Somtimes I have no problem but lately soon after my first or second bite I need to stand up and move around tonight I think maybe I ate to fast but have been really uncomfortable and coughing up alot of froth. Is this happening to anyone else? Other than this I love the band and losing at a good rate.

      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
