Starting Over Again



Recommended Posts

Due to stress, work, and depression, I have become lazy with my life. I just stopped doing and caring.

Today, I start over. I'll measure out my portions, and I will go for a walk after work. Tomorrow I will go back to the gym and continue to do so three times a week, walking on the days I have no gym. I have lost 70lbs since April and I want to lose 30 more by December! I can do it! I just need to break from this depression!!

I can completely relate to your depression and need to "start over". You see, I had my band done in Feb 2008. I was on a good track of losing that first 5 weeks and then my 17 year old son died. He was physically handicapped and I had the procedure to try and become healthier so I would be able to care for him. I tried for awhile after that but then gave up and had all the Fluid removed from my band. i have not stopped gaining weight since having the fluid removed. I have made it to the point in my life, I realized that it is time NOW for me to start over. I made an appt with my surgeon, and will go in on the 10th of October to have the fluid put back in my band. I know it will be a difficult journey for me, but that I CAN DO IT.....Hang in there all my lap band buddies...YES WE CAN!!!

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

      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
