Omg--disappointed



Recommended Posts

I am so disappointed in myself. I was banded May 30 of 2005. I have not lost any weight in months. Not because my band is not working, it is because I am not working for my band. I dont exercise, eat right or anything else I am supposed to do. I have never even been to one of my support meetings throught the hospital I had my surgery! Well thats all going to change. As of the 1st, I am going to eat right and focus on me. Gonna start 2006 the RIGHT way. Thanks for listening to me vent.

Just keep up that good attitude and 2006 is going to be your year! You're way ahead of the game because you are seeing things for what they are. You are not blaming anyone or anything - you are taking responsibility for the whole kit-n-kboodle - insight is everything!

Best wishes and God's speed...

Robyn,

My fellow May bandster. You've lost 40 pounds and have been hanging out a that loss for a while. This is a huge accomplishment.

think of all that yu've learned

how to lose the weight with the band.

how to maintain the weight with the band

how to find the support and strength to pick yourself up and start anew

2006 is your year.

have a ball with it

love, debby

The first step is knowing and admitting where you know you have gone wrong. I commend you for your honesty. One thing that helped me to get back on track was to journal my food intake. There issomething to be said about seeing what you eat on paper..it really helped me to make better choices, I wrote down everything even those bites here and there that you do not think matter, trust me they do. Try journaling your food, also write down the degree of hunger and what your mood is when you eat for example are you hungry, sad, mad , just wanting to eat etc.. once you see a pattern you can make the needed changes. Hang in there and good luck :D and just know you are not alone, many of usstruggle..I struglle now that I no longer have my band, jopurnaling has become even more important to me now since I have no band.

        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.

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

      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
