Lapbandit you are doing so great you were banded after me and you are doing so much better. I got to stop my weekly cheating, cut it down to maybe 2-3 times a month until I can go a whole month without sweets:faint: I'm so happy for you. You're close to Onederland. I can't even imagine Onderland right now. I'm just trying to get firmly rooted into Twoterville.:heh:

Tann, I know it's a hard road that each of us must travel but don't forget to Celebrate your successes too! You've lost 126 pounds in less than a year! Would you ever have thought that possible??? That only excites me as I'm just finishing week 2 of this journey. I've found and seen on these boards that the mental game is the toughest one to beat as far as food goes. You can do it and soon those shackles will be off and you'll be a dancing fool!!

Wow! Everyone is doing great in moving towards their goals. I've still got one pound to go and I'm hoping to get that scale moving downwards. Today's my birthday so I'm allowing myself a dinner out at a nice restaurant.

:P Ridin, I often compare myself with others who have started out with me close to the same weight as me. I must remember not to do that. Thanks for reminding me;)

Tann you are doing an AWESOME job too! You have lost an incredible amount in 2006. But, the way I look at it is...the thing that matters most at the end of the day is whether or not your happy with your efforts. If you're doing your best, then it's a total success regardless of the scale!

Happy B-Day Elizabethsew!

      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.
