Memorial Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Alright I am in! I'm excited for the challenge. The first few months have gone great but I found myself slipping back into some bad habits this past week. Here's to getting back on track. Best of luck all!

I am IN! Thanks for starting this Molly, I'm actually excited. I was banded 2/10 and have lost about 12 lbs, a bit bummed as I've been really following instructions until this week. I'm in the last week of the mushy food but I went out with friends and spent a day drinking tequila sunrises and a few chips and bean dip. Then the last couple of days my work brought in chicken nuggets, fajitas, guacamole & chips and I have partaken but in small amounts also out with co-workers at night throwing back a few glasses of red wine. Is it true that alcohol slows the process of weightloss? I guess I'm bummed because I haven't eaten the mass quantity of bad foods I normally would, in fact they've been in very small portions. I guess with what i've eaten since banded I expected more of a weight loss even though my choices over this past week were NOT on plan. Am I just being ignorant?

Anyway, I'm glad for this because I'm putting my guilt aside and going back to my Protein shakes and to the instructions provided by my doctor. I'm looking forward to this spreadsheet being a great weight loss tool for me.

WTH, I'll give it a try. My bandiversary is Tuesday, down 70lbs! I'm good with that, but I'm hoping for about 20-25lbs more. This could only help.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
