I'm in! I was banded on 10/1 and the weight loss has started slowing down. I've lost 21 since surgery and want to lose 16 more by Christmas. Totally doable!

Ok so I will give this a try. After yesterday's appointment I am officially stalled out! No wieght loss in 4 weeks. She checked my food journal and it looks like I am only eating about 50% of what I should be. So new eating plan and a new set of directions. Basically I am supposed to eat double what I have been. I will try and we shall see! So I wanted to be in Onderlad by Jan 1, and though I am doubtful that will happen, I am still willing to try.

I won't be banded until the 8th of December, but I would love to get in on this.

I'd like to lose 10lbs by the end of the challenge.

(I'm setting the bar low for me as I have a really bad problem with beating myself up if I don't get to where I wanted to be, lol.)

good luck everyone!

      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. 🤞
