Oiy vey that is hard but it even happens when banded. I think that you just have to stay busy and try not to think about food. As you become more seasoned your mind will no longer be consumed with food. You will be more consumed with wanting to be successful to prove those who had no faith in you wrong lol

life will happen with or without the band and its up to us how we let it affect us

and the band will help us eat less but we just gotta make better choices...and bb, you got the banded b's

You wont. There are always going to be bad days but I think for the most part I do well. If I eat more carbs one day then fine if I dont then fine. It was sugar that was my poinson so I have to stay away from it all together cause if I dont I will be a binging machine. That is why in the beginning we are your support along with your home support so we can kick your a-- when you don't follow the rules lmao

After being banded you might try to stuff your face, but the band will kick your ass.

Oh no we need to kick his a-ss lol. I'm game I was always good at kicking my son's asses. I still think at 49 and 10 months I could do it with no problem. My sons always shaved their heads and still do because I pulled their hair so much.

He has done sooooooo many things to make us proud, but he has always not been a student and so pay pay $$$$$$$ to send him to one of the best engineering schools in the country for its hands on, shop style courses.

His major is construction management. It's ideal for him, but no effort to study.

Not the typicsl freshmen, going wild and partying. He comes HOME every weekend to work(he began a lawn business 4 years ago, and now has 20 plus clients). And he agrees, gotta get a degree so he doesn't have to be a laborer, he can be the boss. SO get off your A** and study or I'm going to od on oreos!!!

        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
