I have been feeling discouraged alot lately. I am proud of one thing though I am not turning to food like I use to:) However I am always on this site to get tips, and motivation to keep me going. Well I have a 14cc band and I am at 7cc. The last two times I have gotten fills it was so painful he could not find the port because it has changed posistion he evenutally got it but it has me scared to go back I have not seen the dr in 4 weeks I am going back next tues and I know I will need another fill because I am starting to feel hungry more often and I am eating more than a handful of food. Not much more but still it is more than a handful. I also started walking everyday at work I walk for 45 min, down a hill up another hill down that hill and back up a hill in addition I have added kickboxing and spin class every day as well it alternates spin class is two days a week and kickboxing one day a week. I started to do this because I was feeling like I have failed in some way by not losing the amount of weight I see others. My surgery was back in June and I have lost 30lbs and 3 sizes which I am very happy about what I am not happy about is I have made a few bad choices. Also I have to add I am more hungry now that I am working out twice a day and I am needing advice on how to make sure I am making the right choices when it comes to getting the nutrition I need. Any words of wisdom, anyone else that has struggled and if so what have you done to get out of your rut and to stay on the right track it is to easy to go back to old habits what works for you guys to not go back to bad habits. Thank you for listening and reading

      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. 🤞
