Mine is relatively new, too, but I'm very talkative, so it's fleshing out!

hi everyone!

I found your blogs! I am following those I could-I had a couple of button troubles, but I'll get it worked out.

I am getting banded next week, and in the middle of the pre-op diet. Not too tough, but realy boring.

I have started a blog, too. We'll see how it goes.

Here's the address:

Words of Weight

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know about an easy way to keep track of all the blogs you follow. It's Google Reader. You copy and paste all the blog addys that you follow into it, and it will tell you when one of your favorite bloggers have updated their blog. You can either read the new post from the reader or you can click on through to their blogs and read/comment from there. I do this and it keeps me posted when a new post is available, and it allows me to read them from my cell phone (a Samsung Exclaim).

Also, if you want to track who comes to your blog (or how many), there are lots of counters out there. If you go to the very bottom of my blog, you'll see the one I use. You can customize it to fit your needs.

Anyway, good luck blogging and have fun with it! And don't worry if you post things that aren't strictly WLS related. We are more than our lap bands, and so too should our blogs be more than just our WLS stories. Blog about yourself, your life, you!

Best wishes,

Mel (aka Miss Tori)

      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
