Life Changes & personal challenge



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I hope everyone is well. I am about to go through a significant change in my life and have decided to go all the way. This morning I resigned from my job after almost 20 years with the same company. I am going to another company to a role that is a huge opportunity for me to take advantage of my current skill set, so the news is good.

I have also decided that I am going to make some other changes in my life to coincide with my career change. I have decided that I am going to re-commit to my weight loss program. I have lost 90 pounds to date but things have slowed down for the last month or so. I have decided that I must lose another 50 lbs over the next 6 months or so. To ensure that I do lose the weight I have decided that I am not going to post anything on LBT until I have met my goal.

When I do lose the 50 pounds I agree to post before and after pictures on the before and after thread. Until then I will only allow myself to lurk this challenge starts June 1 the same day I start my new job.

Hear is my mission statement

I am commited to losing 50 more pounds by November 30 2006. Until I do I will not be allowed to post any messages on LBT lounge. When I have met my goal I will post two pictures of myself, one a before surgery picture the other a 140 pound loss picture.

Talk to you all in six months

TommyO,

I would love to join you on this challenge. But I still want to post on here! :P I have 50 more to lose as well and I want to commit to this. I have been a bad example as a lapband patient and need to get back on the ball. I drink durning my meals, I have had a cheeseburger from Burger King!!!! The list goes on. I have recently seperated from my husband so I have been emotional eating as well. So I need to fix this. TommyO, Let's do this together!!!!!

Thanks,

Angie

        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
