October 2012 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Thanx cause I'm getting a bit down n out ... Thought I'd be in my merry way by now ....

That's why when someone without a clue says "you took the easy way out", is full of crap. It ain't easy, but its doable!

I have noticed that about a lot of foods. I am glad because I won't have the urge to binge eat on those foods. Aren't you glad?

I agree...it makes such a difference to know I won't be tempted to gorge myself on that stuff! That and knowing how many calories are in take away food makes me realise how not worth it that kind of stuff is!!!

Btw-join the blessed December challenge thread...the November one really kept me motivated!!

I have joined the Blessed December Challenge.

Awesome! I really liked November's...having to post my weight every week sure made me want it to be a loss so I worked even harder for it! I beat my goal last month by 2 lbs so hopefully it'll be a good month this time despite all the Christmas temptation!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
