Congrates on the baby! I can only imagine how hard it'll be to get back on track with a baby..but you can do it!. Feel free to contact me anytime..I think maybe we can help each other..My issues aren't a baby (although Ive thought alot about it) mine is the no weight loss due to over eating.. What ever you need from me..advice, or just someone to talk to..I'm here. Good luck.. Nikki

Sometimes I think this band thing is over rated..lol But I know alot has to due with the person..It is hard and I don't think that you should have to go to the gym 5 days a week..I don't but then again I am in the same boat as you..lol but I have started to walk everyday even if it is just picking my son up from school..chooseing a far away parking spot and even just walking around the store (target). I have also come to realize that stomach crunches aren't really all that bad!...So I'm trying..keep the postive thoughts guys...hang in there and lean on anyone of us that you need too.

Good luck to you all.

I am convinced that one's success or failure depends a lot on support.

You need to surround yourself with people who are like minded in your goals, and those who are successful.

Being around negative people can only lead to frustration and slowing down your progress.

        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.

      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
