Glad Christmas is past!!



Recommended Posts

Glad the holidays are past....

Christmas Eve is the big event for our family....we all get together, everyone brings food....and booze...

I filled a plate with a taste of everything....I was hardly able to do even that..all that good food, but there was nothing that was band friendly...I started to feel stuck very early on....

What I did do was graze all evening...all those appetizers sitting around...everything from Cookies to delicious Italian Deli Trays...ALL NIGHT! Sugars, salt, oils and fat! And I must have finished at least one bottle of wine myself, at least one bottle..... Not to mention, everyone got in the mood to have toasts with bottles of Scotch and Tenn. Whiskey! Everyone who received a bottle as a gift (including me) felt they needed to open it and pour everyone a glass and have a toast!!

Just when you think it's time to go home to bed, eight of us went to the movies for a 11pm showing of Les Miserables!

What a LONG movie, I'm NOT a young and crazy guy anymore!

After that it was Christmas Morning, be it 4am, and it shortly started all over again with a HUGE Breakfast with EVERYTHING!

And I have not eaten breakfast in 18 months! Just the way it is for me due to the band....

But that's another story...

I don't fear gaining weight anymore...(and I did not) .....that's all behind me because I have had corrective surgery.......I now live and act the same as a regular weight person does...

It's just that I ate CRAP for 36 straight hours..POISON....I can feel it deep in my core....almost a trembling....

NEED to get to the gym and sweat all these toxins out of my system......but good

Going to do my 5 miles of running, and then some...with plenty, and I mean plenty... of Water....

So, it is 5 am and I am walking out the door and heading to the gym as soon as I finish this......

And the scary thing is it is far easier to eat than we wish.....

But the difference in pre band and post band is although we can have days like this...but they do not last. As you are feeling today you will get moving, sweat it out, go back to healthy band sizes portions and end the cycle. Whereas pre band.... today would be another day of heavy eating and the cycle continued..and we got fatter and fatter.

Great job!!

        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
