First of all Thanks Vera for checking in on me!!

I haven't been posting alot lately, but I have been reading!! March 20th was my 7 month out from surgery. I have lost a total of 50ish pounds. Got on the scale just now and it said 183 but I fluctuate between 183 and 185. My last fill was Jan 9th and no way am I ready for another. I figure I am averaging 7 lbs a month. I am hoping to lose another 35 in the next 5 months. That will be my year mark. I am glad everyone is doing well. I kinda went through a don't want to talk about the band stage because I felt like I should be losing more. I told myself in 2 weeks I will weigh and see what the scale says.

Take care everyone!

Hey there, bandsister! You're doing GREAT, especially for a "lightweight." Imagine that you're now able to say you're 35 lbs away from your goal! :banana

Go Kelly, Go Kelly, Go Kelly!! :):D :D

Thanks Alexandra!! Actually I was digging in my closet and getting rid of clothes and finding some that I haven't worn lately. I can't wait until August of this year to see what happens at my year mark! I am more excited about that this year then my own birthday. Well I better get to work:-)

Kelly, good to hear from you. You were only banded a week before me and I, too, have lost 50 pounds. From what I can see from what others have posted, that is about average. You're doing great!

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

      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
