Feb.23rd Peeps!!! Well Feb. Period...



Recommended Posts

I'm just plain stuck--that scale does not want to give me anything. I added 50% more cardio and 100% more repitions for toning. Hopefully the extra 45 minutes of exercise will help. I really wanted to be in the "220"s" when I go for my next fill on Wednesday, but that is not looking promising! I was kind of hoping to be in "Onederland" by July, but I am not quite as hopeful anymore! I guess a plateau after 55 pounds isn't bad, but it is maddening.

patsal, 55# is terrific! I do know how you feel though. When I was stuck for weeks I started thinking this wasn't going to work. I guess our bodies are just finicky. Any day now yours will decide to let go of some more pounds! :)

I was banded on 2/22 and have lost 25 pounds as of yesterday. I think you all are doing great! I've got 5cc in a 10cc band and I've got another fill scheduled for Wednesday. I'm really hoping for some restriction!

It's so nice to hear about what other Feb bandsters are doing. I was banded on 2/15 and have lost 30#. It is SLOW. And it seems that I won't lose any weight for a couple of weeks and then I will suddenly lose 4 or 5lbs and then gain a pound or two back. It's a yo-yo for sure. I have only had one fill. I have a 10cc band with 2cc's in it now. I will get to have another 1.5cc added this Friday. I am living with NO restriction what so ever. It's HARD! I want that sweet spot! You all are doing a GREAT job!!!! :scared2:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
