My 1 yr Band Anniversary :0)



Recommended Posts

Well its been one whole year already! Wow I can hardly believe it. Even though I am only 40 pds down & have been at a plateau forever I feel really great! I have had minimal complications & hope none for the future. I have had my share of Pbs for sure but know that I am still learning everyday that I have alot to do before that"record" in my brain is changed forever.

I joined LBT I believe a whole year before my surgery(i'll have to check the date) and couldn't have asked for a more informative caring group of people. I have actually made some life long friends here & would have never expected that to happen.

What has changed for the better:

* Not out of breath running up the staircases.

* Being able to actually run up the staircases.

* Crossing my legs!!!

* Wearing underwear again & not getting sweat rashes

(gross I know but true)

* Putting on a size 16 & having them look WAY to Big

* Having sex again & feeling VERY sexy!

* Eating like a lady & NOT a football player!

* Getting compliments;0)

* Feeling like I see light at the end of the tunnel

(this one is huge for me)

* Knowing I can lose another 40 pds this next year

* Having sex again--ohh did I already mention that!

I will post photos hopefully by this Monday with the help of Penni.

Inches Gone for Good:

Bust- 6.5"

Below Bust- 6.5"

Neck-.5 "

Waist- 6"

Hips- 5.5"

Thigh(right)- 4"

Arm(right)- 1"

A Huge thank you to all that have been so caring & given me such wise & much need advice over the past 2 years. I love you & most importantly I thank you!

Warmly

Christina

        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
