Today is a new day. I LOVE my band, but I haven't been using it properly.

I have very good restriction. Problem: I've realized I can eat large portions of very unhealthy foods. In particular...pizza rolls! (I feel so disgusted when I admit this) For crying out loud, what's wrong with me! I'm an intelligent women who had WEIGHT LOSS surgery, only to sabotage my success.

I have been successful by losing 40lbs, I know that. However, I have a ton more to lose. I had my surgery nearly three years ago, and haven't lost one pound in the last two years! It's time for a change!

Hence the brand new day. Today, after running through my kickboxing routine and spending some time with my treadmill, I am having one scrambled egg for Breakfast, followed by a delicious Protein Shake. (haven't had one of those in a very long time) I am making my lunch in advance!!! A small tuna salad with dressing on the side...yum! One hour later I will continue to sip on ice cold Water, because today I'm taking a liter bottle of water with me, in a refillable container. Before dinner, I will refill my liter of water and place it in the freezer. It will be nice and cold by the time I'm ready for it. I bought some frozen parmesan crusted tilapia from Sam's club about a month ago...it's about time I warm that yummy goodness up. I'll eat one fillet with creamed cauliflower. I may be short on Protein. I'll have to take a closer look. In that case, I will just have to choke down either another small Protein shake or stick of string cheese, darn it!

I apologize if my details annoyed anyone. You may not care. By doing this I've made myself accountable to YOU. Today, I make a promise to you [and me] that I will treat myself like I'm worth a healthy body, from this day forward. I love me!

Here's to our success!

Love, Barbie Girl

Barbie,

No need to apologize. That's what we are all here for. Post all the details you want. I'll be watching. You are definitely worth a healthy body and it's very important to love yourself, If we can't love ourselves nobody else can either. Good luck sticking to your plan. I know you can do it! Throw away the pizza rolls. Those things are poison!

Barbie Girl,

Good for you! I am going to keep track of it too...because I too started a brand new day (after gaining back about 10lbs from quitting smoking and vacation and visits etc.) and you are empowing me to become more accountable to myself. I look forward to your posts and seeing your success :) ! I also have learned to eat around my band. Today that stops. Good Luck Honey!

You are IN TOUCH with yourself, and what has to be done.

How would you like to take it up a notch, (IF YOU ALLREADY HAVEN'T)...

Go to myfitnespal. com, and it is a free site that you can journal your exercise time on, your food. Keep track of stuff, view what other people are eating to, you can view other peoples Diary. and help get some ideas.

Give it a shot, a lot of us are over there.

Will see you there.

You are going to go far with that kind of thinking.

Shirley..

      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
