New Year's Wishes



Recommended Posts

Just want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone here. May all of us reach at least some of our goals in 2004, whether it's deciding on getting banded, actually having surgery, learning to live with the band (me!), or any of the multitude of minigoals we set for ourselves.

Let's make a collective resolution to keep LapBand Talk thriving. It's been a huge help to me and lots of others, and we can't overstate the importance of experiences shared. Thanks to you all for being here.

Enjoy the night, everyone!!! ;):D :D

Greetings from Ireland, where it's already 2004! It's about 2.41am here and I'm just off to bed, but had to wish all my amazing new bandster friends a very happy new year - like Alexandra, this board had been a wonderful support for me and for the first time ever, I really do feel like one of my biggest wishes, (and subject of so many new year's resolutions) is about to come true - me slimmer and healthy! Even tho it's only been nine weeks since my surgery, I feel more energetic, happier and most importantly of all, proud of myself, for taking this leap of faith and hope. I can't believe so much has come from such a little device!

I hope all your wishes come true for 2004, and that we all continue to support each other through this wonderful medium. ;):D :D

I'm looking forward to this being the happiest year I've had in a long time. This is the year I leave all my "fat" baggage behind me and get on with life. Without this particiular site, I don't think I would have ever had my surgery. I didn't always have much to say, but I was listening very closely. Without hearing all the success stories, I never, EVER would have gone through with it.

So thank you, THANK YOU to all of you and I hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

;)

No resolutions but realistic goals this year. One of them being a five kilometre walk for breast cancer in the summer. I am just so excited about the things I can do now and am looking forward to my future. Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year to you too!

On a personal note Alexandra- do you have the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game? It is great fun! Also the ROTK chess set is very nice- gave it to my 9yo for his b'day last week. We LOVED the movie!

Ohhh, I'm jealous! My LOTR Christmas booty was limited to three calendars (two of the same) and the ROTK soundtrack (LOVE it!!). DH and I were looking at the Trivial Pursuit game in the store the other day and almost caved, but it was a bit more than we wanted to spend. But Valentine's Day is coming, yippee! :)

(The game's questions are based on the movies, right? I mean, the amount of trivia one could glean from the books is too astronomical to contemplate...)

        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
