I would love to participate. This will be my first challenge. Although I am not banded yet, but will be on September 8th, YES YES YES!!!. I would like to lose as much weight as I can before surgery.

Hello,

If your Labor Day Challenge doesn't come together, please consider joining us in the monthly challenge that I set up. This month's challenge is titled, The Freedom Challenge. There will be an August challenge starting on August 1st. We weigh in weekly and post our weights. We also set goals for ourselves each month for weight loss, dietary, exercise and personal. A member keeps our stats for us.

Best wishes, Joan

We post under the "Post-operation lap band surgery questions and answers."

Check out our Freedom Challenge for July.

The new August challenge will start August 1st but I'll have a page up by the end of July.

I think we will have to join you guys. I dont know how to make the spreadsheet so that everyone can enter their information. I think it is done thru google. MollyRN started the last one. Maybe if she reads this she can forward it on to us or start one.:lol:

To keep our stats secure we have one member enter the data each week for us on the spread sheet. No one else has access to it so it doesn't get messed up.

We are happy to have anyone join our challenge! :D

      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
