Hey guys, sorry I couldn't make it on Sunday, I planned on coming but I was nannying until 3 am on Saturday, so when I fell asleep I was out. I woke up too late to come out. I wanted to see you all again! Teresa, you are a wonderful person and the way you are in your posts is exactly how you are in person - real, easy to talk to, and caring. Love it! Lsasha, you are too funny! Don't worry, your first fill will be easy and you'll be thin in no time. Hope to see you both again soon. Hey, are thos caps for me? You'll be proud to know I have not had a single carbonated beverage since our lunch! And this morning I had a shake for Breakfast at 7:30. So there. Thanks for helping me get on that...talk to you soon!

YEAHHHHHHH CARRIE YOU ARE THE BOMB....YEAH NO CARBONATION AND A shake YOU GO GIRL. :banana :banana Thank you Carrie, we missed you Sunday also. The ladies are great and you are going to love Karen. She tries to have a hard exterior but it is just the chocolate shell on top of the ice cream. LOL Yeah you missed Ms. LSasha strutting across the parking lot. LOL I told her we will have to have a LBT Fashion Show.

Christina I've seen you somewhere before....LOL:paranoid. Great job with the shake to you too. You have pretty skin so don't mess it up with soda, try cutting back on them now. Live Like You are Banded!!

HarleyNana we didn't take pictures but your pictures are awesome. You look great and you look so young. Where is the baseball bat, we are going to have to beat the men off with a stick. LOL

Hi Connie...you are not old enough to drink... you are such a cute little girl. Oh yeah that's right you are a teen now. I had a great time and I know we can learn a lot from each other.

I think it was a good idea to meet at the restaurants becuase pbing is something that the doctors don't want us to do but yet we still do it. We know it is from not doing what we are suppose to do...chew well, eat slow and to make better food choices. I have to say I tried to be good and this was my first time going out to order a real meal since being banded. It gave me good practice and I think I made good choices except for the cake. Next time I will do what I have done twice with my daughter, just order the cake, share it and be happy. That will at least be less calories then having food and cake. LOL I'm bad I know but I like to deal with reality.

I will be at the next meeting with bells on.:)

It is lovely seeing you in the forum. I'm so glad you like the cap delight. I need to drink one everyday so I can save some of my hair. LOL That is great you have some time off from work. Do something fun while you are home. See you soon.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
