Scorpio I think starting the group would be a good idea. It also expands the date so we can get more joiners. Even though i do think we have a great start to a great group of ppl. As for the 6 weeks to get into good habits. I eat worse when i am off work then when i am at work. I think its not having time to eat then. I figure if i am at work during the liquid stage will keep me to busy to think of being hungry. Least thats my hope. I am scared if i sit here I will have way to much time on my hands to think of not eating.

Ok I sent all of you an invite, but just in case you didn't get it....

I hope our little group grows. I posted it in March, April and May's forum but if you know anyone, please suggest the group. I'm thinking I'll need all the support I can get.

36 days and counting!

Thank u tahnee....

I know the feeling kerra......I had to do the whole 6 month thing. I called my dr office a few days before my last appt and the told me that my insurance was not requiring the 6 months supervised diet plan anymore. Talk about disappointment! But I don't regret it at all because I really learned a lot from it. Congrats on ur surgery date tho!!!

Yay! There are finally more April bandsters!

Chunkygirl- you and everyone are more than welcome to join the group. If you search for Springers under the groups tab you can join from there. It's an open group.

BTW- someone from the March bandsters said April ones were not as fun. As if!

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

    • 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
