I will be there. I went last month and loved it. The group was bigger than I expected but it was fun and the people are so nice. Hope to meet you. I will see what I can do to get my picture posted here before the meeting so we can try and find each other.

Looking forward to finally meeting some of you on Saturday! How's everyone holding up??

It's been so hard going through what everyone calls Bandster Hell. It really is difficult to eat correctly and small portions. I'm looking to the future where my good decisions become good habits and I don't have to try and control myself so much. I will automaticately be and eat healthy. :blushing:

Happy Friday!!

I will be there tomorrow as well. I am on day two of the pre-op diet and so far so good. Last night was a little hard due to the fact that my oldest daughter had softball practice and I swung by McDonald's to get her dinner on the way and had to smell it all the way from Olathe to Overland Park. You know what is funny about it....I have not ate a fast food burger in over 6 months but last night I could have scarfed that thing down. lol.

Hang in there Kendra! Believe or not, the pre-op goes by pretty fast after the first couple of days. Great job of just saying NO to McD's!!

Kendra - Day 3 of pre-op was the toughest for me. After that, it became routine and easier. Hang in there - it will be worth it.

      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
