March 05 Bandsters-Can You Believe It's Been A Year???



Recommended Posts

It has been a year, and I am at 100lbs gone forever.

I am amazed at how my body looks. It is weird tolook in the mirror, and know that I am finally looking that way that I have imagined all these years. It's weird for people to tell me how good I look. Because to me I have always imagined myself looking this way. When I look at past pictures, and think about what I used to wear. My jaw drops, and I think why didn't anyone tell me that I was this big. Everyone says we say you everyday. You were who you were, but man I was big. I am loving my new body, and the clothes that I am able to wear. I never thought there would be atime when I would be upset because the clothes that I have are getting too big too fast. Ha Ha who'd a thunk it.

Lap band is the best thing going since sliced bread, and boy did I love me some bread.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
