New Goal to "twoterville"



Recommended Posts

OK folks, I have 18lbs to "Twoterville" I just got a second fill bringing me up to 6.5cc's in my 10cc band. I seem to be holding the restriction, last time the swelling went down 2 days later and this is day 4 today (crossing my fingers and toes) Yesterday was my first day of full on solid food after the fill and if this level of restriction stays I will be very happy. My goal is to get to twoterville in the next 4 weeks, making a total loss of 50lbs !!! Just putting my goal out here so I can't fudge on it later, I am committed to it.

PS I know that is a lot to lose in 4 weeks, but I like to dream big and think positive. Besides if you shoot for the stars you know you will at least hit the moon :lol:

Oooo - I am trying for Twoterville, too!! We'll urge each other on.

That third fill may just be the charm... I also have 6.5 cc now, but in a VG band. I think they hold up to 11cc's - but I don't know for sure.

Anyway - Good luck to all of us on the way to Twoterville!!

:]

I just hit twoterville on Wednesday. It was a struggle and I made a mini goal of going to 275. I had my third fill on June 20. I learned I have a VG band that holds 11 cc. 1st fill was 3.8, 2nd was 1.2, and the 3rd was 2.0 so I think thats a total of 7.0. I feel more restriction than before. Keep working at it you will join us. I am making a concerted effort to stay there and make it to onederland.

We're in the race together because I am exactly where you are. I really, really would love to be back in twoterville before my next appointment in the middle of July. Think we can do it?? You're right tho...that would be a pretty impressive loss for a month and I don't want to get disappointed if I can't make it. That would be awesome to hit that goal. I think about it all the time because it's my first "mini goal" and I really want to get there! GOOD LUCK!!!

I'll keep sending positive vibes your way...please do the same for me!!!

Well the restriction is easing up a bit but definitely getting close, sounds like we all have the VG 10 or 11 cc's I don't remember. There is only one of them though so we have the same one. I think I need another fill to get good restriction, but at least I have restriction!!! I hear avg on the VG is 6.5 to 7cc's for good restriction in the beginning, of course not everyone is average :eek: Not getting on the scale yet, waiting a few days. Upped my Water intake too :fish: For all you bandsters that want to let's start a Road to twoterville thread for us :tsk: I will start it.

Granlady - click the User CP link, then "Edit avatar". You'll see a lot of little icons. Scroll down and you'll see a "Custom Avatar" box. If your pic is on a webserver, enter the URL. If it's local on your computer, browse to it and you can upload it.

Betty Boop,

Instructions given to me. Go to CP, click on Edit Avator, then click custom avator and you can choose one of the icons there or you can upload a picture from your computer or an URL. It was so easy. I had to thank Wheetsin for her help.

        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
