Hey guys! So I used to do nutrisystem a few years ago, and the best part was the challenges on the message boards. Basically its just a group of us that post often and provide support, vent, share victories, and just chat! You pick a goal for the duration of the challange (like maybe a July 4th one for now!) and post weekly weigh ins.

I just got banded on 6/2 and as Ill be moving to soft foods in a few days, I would definitely love a good challenge and some new friends! So let me know if you are interested and Ill start a new thread with it!

congrats on the band! how are you feeling? Im about 9 days out and definitely feeling back to myself- so hang in there!

So pick a goal weight you'd like to hit by July 4th. So for instance, im at 223. By July 4th Id like to be 210. So my goal is 13 lbs in the 3 weeks. Granted after just being banded, your priority should be healing and not weight loss- but its still fun to have a challenge! Usually we also add things in like drinking all of your Water for the day, and exercising at least 3-5x per week (since we are both new bandsters, for us I guess light walking would be better!)

What do you think? anything you'd like to add?

I actually feel great! I like the goal weight I think adding the Water is good - I used to drink tons of Water every day until the band now its a little harder I am sure it will get easier - OK As of surgery day I was 236 so by July 1 I would like to be at 221 so 15lbs~ :rolleyes:

      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
