Whenever you get a weight loss post it. :D (That goes for all of you.) I'll try to keep up with it!

Oh, and when you get fills, throw it up here too. That way we can keep track of how our month is doing. Might help for moral support in some form or fashion, lol. :D

Hi Everyone ~ CONGRATULATIONS ~

This is a good Idea Janet, thanks for keeping track of the Feb06 Bansters.

I'm scheduled for surgery on 02/15/05 with Dr. Schuster

(a great V'day gift to ourselves - don't you think)

Today's the first day of my pre-op liquid diet so no weight loss yet, but I'll let you know as I progress.

I'm sooooo looking forward to this journey.

Lou

That's awesome Elisa! Keep it up! ;)

I've heard as you go back to solid food that you'll gain some... so don't get discouraged, keep your eyes on the long-term prize! ;)

Hey, I am having surgery on Feb 20th!! I started the pre-op on Feb 9th. I have lost 14lbs!! I am starving to death...I think every post I put on this site mentions that I AM STARVING!! My stomach growls and rumbles 24/7 and physically hurts b/c I am so hungry!! Anyway I guess it will be worth it!

I'm day 4 (almost day 5) into my 10 day liquid diet and I've lost 6 pounds. This is really hard though and like Stacey I am also STARVING!!!

It's worth it though and kind of fun to see the scale plummet for once in my life. LOL

WOO-HOO down another pound!!! So that makes 15 all together. I have surgery on Monday, I am getting a little nervous!!!

Still starving, but still losing. Green On Oprah said that in order to lose weight you have to feel "hunger" He said that gnawling feeling you get like you feel like you could eat the house down, is your body burning fat...and if you give in to that feeling you have sabotaged the weight loss for that moment or day. Kinda put things into perspective!

Ok, Its day 2 of the liquid diet and I am down 4lbs from yesterday. Yippee!! I am sure its just Water weight, but I will take it!! So far the liquid diet isnt bad, but I am sure that wil change quickly. Although I must say, the "healthy" broth I had yesterday made me feel like I was basting a turkey in my mouth. Yuck!!

Good luck everyone!

        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
