I agree, liquid is getting old.I'm back at work and thats fine but the at home time is a challange. Had some people asking about the fills, what do you want me to tell them? I think you guys have my phone and home email, let me know. Oh yeah, Pino grigio is a clear liquid....xxooEve

Hey Eve,

Great to hear from you. I saw your posting telling people about us and I really apprieciate it. liquids actually kind of grow on you. I am 26 pounds lighter as of today. Thanks for the pino tip I'll have to remember it. We should be opening our office in the next 3-5 weeks. I have found space in Deltona right near the Hospital. We still would like to do house calls but have to start with the office. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Scott

Weigh to go losers!!! I live in Cocoa, FL which is about 10 min. from NASA. It's so wonderful looking at all your pics and thinking I too will look good soon.I'm scheduled for my band 8/28/06 with a local GI surgeon. I realized I'd have to pay double but in the long run, I feel I've made the right decision. If anyone is in the area or not, give me a shout.

Look whose talking Iulizbug!!! You were 241 now 174!!! that's 67lbs 5 months... exceeding 10lbs per month by dropping 13.4lbs per month. You rock Iulizbug!!! You are 14lbs away from goal and that's impressive to say the least! Imagine that. Reaching goal weight in 6 - 7 months of surgery. Quite impressive.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
