I am really really struggling. I was rebanded in March due to a slip. From January when they unfilled me until now I have gained 40 lbs. I know that the last 15 -20 I lost in November thru January was b/c I could not eat ANYTHING. I developed really bad habits and have continued to make poor choices. I have started exercising. 20 minutes on exercise bike and about 10 minutes w/ resistance bands. Not a lot, but am building up. I have about 4.5 cc in my new band.

I wish I could regain that drive and focus I had the first time around. I was down 90 lbs. at one time. Tomorrow I am going away w/ my friends for the weekend and we will be outing out a lot and Snacks will be abundant. So hard.......

How do you get your head back in the game?

The best thing you can do if at all possible is to hire a fitness coach/personal trainer. It is worth the money in every possible way.

I went thru something similar to you and gained 30 pounds. Having a PT is what got me back on track when I got restriction started. She makes busting your (my) butt a positive thing and is very supportive in all areas, not just exercises.

I am glad to see you posting again but sorry you are having troubles.

Thanks, that is not a financial possibility. I am just making myself "do it". I hate every minute of it. I just finished working out this morning knowing the weekend will not afford itself to much exercise. I had a good fill on Wednesday (1.2) and it seems to be helping. I keep singing that HS Musical song "Get Your Head in the Game" to myself. LOL

Tracy,

How about looking for a support group in your area? Also, meet up.com (all one word) might have some exercise groups that you can attend and make some friends who will push you to exercise. You're only 40 pounds from goal - me too and I am exercising intensely 6 days a week because I am training for a triathlon. Maybe sign up for a 5k and start training. There are free podcasts called "Couch to 5K" that are run/walk type lessons that get you running 5k in eight weeks.

I find it is much harder to lose now that I only have 40 left to go so I am trying to focus on getting fit instead of losing weight.

You can do this!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
