Welcome. I'm relatively new as well, just about a week. Am scheduled to get banded in March. I know how you feel. I'm so hoping that this tool will help me to get my life back as well. I have 2 beautiful grandchildren that I want to play with and be around for for a long long time.

Scotland is such a beautiful country. I would love to visit there someday. Love the accent.

Best wishes for you.

Welcome Yvonne,

I have been in your beautiful country numerous times~ Me Grandma was born in Edinbourgh castle and Dad is from Tillicoutry near Alva. We took him back there 2 years ago for his 80th birthday and we had a great time.

We spent a week there and then he split off and went to Ireland and we continued to the highlands! My husband, and my two sons had a grand time. We went to the Isle of Skye and up by Kyle which was where me grandma named one of my sons. We went all over the highlands and found a museum with our family name McKay on it... by then my DH and two sons had really had enough of the "McKays" so they went hiking and I explored the museum.

Good luck on your new journey in Bandland. This is a great place for suport!!!!!

I'm stopping in to welcome you to LBT! I spent a few days in Scotland way back when...went to Edinburgh Castle...we rode the train around the country...loved it! I'll have to refresh my memory on the name of the other little town we stayed overnight in...it was on the coast...fishing town...had a great and funny experience in a pub up there, as you can imagine when two young ladies from Texas just walk into the town pub full of burly Scottish fishermen! It's a fond memory!

Good luck to you in your journey, and hope you stop by here often!

Cindy

Hello,

Pleased To Meet You All - You Girlies Have Probably Seen More Of Scotland Than Me - Hehe - I've Only Been To America Once - New York And I Loved It - Fabulous - Loved The Accents Too - All Accents Are Lovely.

I Love Visiting Castles - Wales And England Have Some Lovely Ones Too. I've Been To The Isle Of Mull And Arran - I Want To See More Of My Country And Hope To Do So As The Weight Comes Off And I Can Get Out And About Again. I Giggled Imagining Two Texan Girls In A Scottish Bar - Did You Manage To Find Out What A Scotsman Wears Under His Kilt? ;-) Haha

So Nice To Be Welcomed Like This - Thank You All

Yvonne

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
