Hi LBT!

Today is my one year anniversary! :clap2: YEAH I did it, one year down! I have had a great year. I have lost over 75 pounds in this year. I have only had to pb 4 times from eating too fast (yeah that is a hard one to break). I exercise every day - except Sundays (day of rest ya know). I had knee problems before this, my knee feels WONDERFUL. I feel WONDERFUL. I started out wearing a 3x, now I wear a size 18. I just had a fill the other day which feels great and am seeing results from that fill already so the start of my second year is starting on a great note. Life is good! I had my doc appt. the other day and they take a pic of you when you have your first consultation and then they took a 1 yr. pic, the difference is amazing! After all my agonizing over the numbers, even I cannot dissmiss the actual pics that show how I look. Its a good thing.

I have had a great year and am looking forward to another great year with my band! :)

the best me,

Congrats on the year! It comes so fast dont it, even though it seems like we be doing this forever at the same time - thats an oxymoron isnt it, but I am sure you know what I mean! I still have a ways to go but I am much more confident going into this second year, gone are the thoughts that I cant do this because I CAN! Happy anniversary to you and may next year be better than this last one was!

p.s. i contacted photonut to see if she can give me a hand, I am such a computer misfit.

        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
