I have let myself down this year. I was doing great with the band then I resorted to old habits. I was too tight and had an unfill. I was actually too lose after the unfill so I decided to go on vacation and have it filled once I got back. I gained weight and since then my fills are not giving me any restriction

:(The band didn't fail me, I failed the band! It's not over yet though! Tomorrow I have another fill scheduled and I know this is going to get me to where I need to be. I just have to be strong during food temptations and keep my eye focused on the goal which is a healthy life. I have started a blog, not mainly focused on health and weightloss but life in general. If you would like to follow me you can check it out here: http://tabithavos.blogspot.com/

I feel I also need to come to the group more and interact with other ppl facing the same problems I face daily... to get inspiration. I hope everyone is doing well. Have an awesome day!

I know you're struggling but your attitude is amazing. I very firmly believe your mindset plays a huge part in whether we succeed or fail in life, and I very firmly believe that you will succeed with your band.

Btw, you didn't fail. You had a minor set-back. That's the beauty of the band, you can simply start over and get back on track. As long you learn from your mistakes it's not failing it's simply learning. You learned and now you're moving forward, that makes you a success :)

Hang in there, you can totally do this!

Thanks everyone!

I just made it back in from my fill. The nurse said my bp was low and my pulse rate was high. She seems to think it's caused from dehydration. I stocked up on crystal light today so I am going to make it a priority to get that Water in. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Love your amazing attitude. Admitting our failures takes courage and strength, but the next step is moving forward and learning from what we did wrong. I give you so much applause for telling us your story and moving forward. You ARE NOT a failure. I love that after this little bump in the road, you are not going to give up!!

        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!

      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
