taking a break from LBT--pointless



Recommended Posts

Oh Crystal...

I so understand your frustration. I hung out here for a LONG time before I was able to get my band...

All those people - happy, losing weight - having minor struggles. I got to the point where I could hardly stand coming here.... it hurt too much.

So, go if you must... but remember that we are always here for you - ALWAYS - and we want to know how you are and what you and yours are doing. Please, stop by for a visit once in a while.

You will be missed.

Hugs.

Well, I can't top anything everyone else has said, so I'll just say that you are one of the reasons I come back so often - I love the way you look at things, you have a great perspective on most topics! I will miss you very much, so I truly hope you just take a short break! Being thin is the goal for everyone of us on this board, but being AWESOME is way more important - and you, my dear, have definitely achieved that!!!!

Love You!

Thank you so much. You are all such kind and caring people. I am crying as I sit here reading your thoughs of care and understanding.

I just started a thread that updates my last two weeks. Maybe I should have called it "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" but that's already been done...

VQ...There really isnt anything left to say that hasnt been said. If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed with everything...take a break from everything. Regroup and refocus, it might be just what you need.

Please make sure you dont go for too long though, there are so many of us from everywhere...oceans away that really appreciate your advice and thoughts.

Big Hugs

Thank you all so much.

I didn't mean to imply that LBT was pointless, just that any attempt to lose weight or thoughts of losing weight were pointless.

I'm still gaining weight, 10 pounds in the last week. Which of course, means that I need to be doing a lot of testing for the cushings, trying to catch the tumor on a high.

I know that being home with my family has been such a good thing for me. I had been away from my husband and son for far, far too long.

      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.
