It feels so good. This surgery has changed my life. Weather it be the lap band itself or the fact that I decided to change my life and actually am doing it. For the first time in a long time, probably since 6th grade which was like 17 years ago, I feel good about myself. My depression which I have had since about then is gone. I am going to the gym and doing kickboxing and actually enjoying it. Even though I feel my weightloss is a little slow, my body is changing and I feel good. I have to say I was so miserable before surgery I thought about ending things a few times a month, but since surgery I have not had one negative thought. Sorry for my sob story, but I felt I needed to share. Everyone keep up the great work!

Wow! I see that you got your band like only four days before me and your amount of lbs. lost is twice as much as mine. What are some of your secrets?

Congratulations! It is exciting to fit into smaller sizes. I bought a small sized sweater and some size 6 jeans at a yard sale the other day, so I have something to push for, for next Winter. I'm in size 12-16 jeans now. I can still wear at least one of my size 16's.

SO AWESOME!!!! Congrats!!!!! Feels so GREAT to get into smaller clothes.

Yesterday I tried on a shirt getting ready for work and realized it was WAY too big for me. I haven't worn it in awhile...thinking it was going to be too small!! Thank God I had some XL tops already that I keep from a few years ago. I'm starting to build a pile of clothes in the spare bedroom to pack up for the Good Will. laugh.gif I'll need to go shopping soon. biggrin.gif

        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
