I'm slowly moving in the right direction and am trying to get in more fruits to progress to a healthier diet. The 100 calorie Snacks are not satisfying and offer no real nutritional value. Stay cool in this heat!

Hang in there. I'm actually afraid to get on the scale this week. I won't be working out at all and I'm sure eating a lot of takeout as we're moving on Friday. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't gain.

Good luck with the move! I'm sure you'll burn those calories with all the lifting, etc., involved in the move. Where are the missing members of our challenge? I hope everyone is OK and just on vacation.

Hi Ladies! I'm back. Was on vacation, way to much vacation, and my scale has taken a trip back to the dark side. *rolling eyes*

I got a fill yesterday, though. My first day back from vacation...and so far, its looking like some of it may have just been Water gain, because I'm already down 2lbs, and I know it wasn't because of the fill. Since I didn't get the fill until late last night. My surgeon holds appts up to 9pm.

Anyway....I'm here, and ready to get started back to losing.

Hello to the beautiful people.

It's been awhile since I've posted. When I am feeling blue I hate to get on here and bring the place down. Went for my 3rd fill yesterday, at least I haven't gained any. I have 10 lbs to go before getting into twoterville. I should be ecstatic, but I feel like I have busted my butt this last month on the treadmill, (several times did over 60 minutes) never less than 30 minutes and I lost 7lbs. It's weird, it's like I am killing myself and nothing is happening. I see people on these threads who were banded the same day as me and they have lost like 50 or 60 lbs.

I guess I should see it as I haven't gained.

My NP had a hard time getting the needle into my port, said she wasn't strong enough yesterday. It took several very hard pressing jabs to get it in. Again if the glass is half full then that means I am not leaking through the port. Why am I feeling depressed here? Some days I don't get this surgery, it's supposed to make you a happier and healthier person. I want to get into the July challenge. I would like to lose 5 lbs in half the month that I have left. That way, I can possibly be in twoterville by the time I go in for my next Dr. appt. in Aug.

PS. I love seeing how all of you have progressed. Maybe I am back because you all are just inspirational. I think that's it. Ciao Bellas

CFK, hang in there, you can make it. At least as you said, you haven't gained!

I gained, or think I did. I was weighing myself at home that last couple of weeks and today was my first day back working out so it was my first post-op weight on the scale that I usually weigh on. I'll be I gained, though. I'm doing mushies now and have gone from 550-700 calories a day to 1000-1600 a day. Which is still less than the 2200 I was doing pre-op.

I refuse to change my ticker, though!

Hey guys, can I join this challenge if I haven't been banded yet? (I will go back and read all the previous posts tomorrow but I'm jumping the gun now!) I weigh 330 and it looks like my insurance won't approve the surgery until I've "complied" with the pre-diet enough to lose 30-40 pounds. Geez. Oh well, I'm committed to this banding journey so I'll find a way. I sure could use the support! Thanks!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
