Time To Stop The Chick Sh*t!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi! My name is Julie. I am hoping that I am posting in the right spot for introductions. I am new to the group and I have begun my lapband journey just about 2 months ago. I have been to the informational seminar and consult appointment. I have my nutrionist and first psychological appointments on December 4th. I am 46 years old, 5'2' and weigh 200 pounds. Many health issues have crept up on me as my weight has crept up over the past 7 or so years. I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleeping issues and PMDD. I am the mom to 3 kids, ages 22, 19 and 7 (I adopted a little girl from Guatemala). I have been a special education teacher for about 20 years. And, I guess that's about it! I am glad to be here and looking forward to this new journey...I have a lot of living to do!!

Julie :P

Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum! You will find a lot of inspiration, knowledge and support hear. You might want to start a thread that's strictly for yourself and you will find a lot more people to welcome you. It's ok that you did it here but you'll get more responses on a separate thread. Just title it New Here or something like that.

I wish you the best on your new journey, post often so we can get to know you!

Look Mads, I didn't see the bat signal for banjo to come take care of business.

Or else, you know, I would have been there just like for CG

I understand, it's a cloudy night.

Hi Julie, welcome! I will be banded December 17th so I'm fairly new here. I've only posted one question but I started getting replys almost immediately! I am SO grateful for that support. It's fantastic someone is out there going through the same thing and willing to share.

      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.
