I pigged out yesterday too, by bandster means. But I needed to. I have been so low on my calories lately I am constantly tired. I took in a full 650 calories yesterday. I need to try and get closer to 1000. Going to take the kids for a walk today to the park. It is 1 mile away. This will be my workout till I am allowed to workout hard again. Doc said 6-8 weeks. :rolleyes: I actually miss it.

scale has not moved. But I am not bummed about it. I know that it will eventually.

My incisions are healing well. I am now mostly yellow with a little purple thrown in. Not just all sorts of purples, and some reds. LOL The incisions themselves are pretty clean and healing well. My bruising seems to be moving, as my stomach has taken on a brownish/purplish light tone below where the surgery was done. Eventually it will all be normal. yesterday morning and this morning I have woken up to find that the side opposite the port side is really sore and stiff. I think I am over compensating for the port side, and wearing my stomach muscles out. And the last two nights I have woken up to find myself laying on my stomach. Flat on my stomach. No pain, but i would not consiously do that. I just worry I will hurt something, but I know it will be fine.

Hope everyone is well. these are the last few days before weigh in! Get that Water in so that your week's totals are fun. Lets see those scales move!!

Trica, I love the new AV! I bought a Wonder Woman Tshirt at Walmart the other day and it made me think of you, hehe.

Telly, 175? Girl you are amazing! I'm so proud of you!:clap2:

Amy, I am so excited to watch your journey now that you are banded. You get me excited to kick start mine again too.

Thanks, sweetie! LOL @ the Wonder Woman shirt. I briefly had a Wonder Woman layout on my myspace page but I didn't care for it. :rolleyes:

Isn't Telly's weight loss amazing? I'm proud of her too.

You're going to be at 199 very soon. :D

Well ...thanks guys but I think I am going out of my mind with this weight. I'm pushing for an August deadline because I was planning to meet my family then.

They haven't seen me since all of my weight loss and I wanted to at least get near the goal weight I wanted. I surprise myself when I do go on the Saturday and Sunday excursions that have me losing 4 - 5lbs each time but, if not for those weekend days, I'd not be losing weight lately. The lifting is really toning me up but my appetite is animalistic.. as I said before. I just want to eat all day and all night. I DON'T eat all day and night but I really want to. A fill is still in order.

Hang in there Telly - you have done so well in such a short time -- you know 'why' you are so hungry -- focus on that fill and hold on a little longer.....your family will think you are awesome - heck - look at that picture of your flexed muscles - how could you not wow them?!

Funny -- so glad to hear you are healing so quickly! It sounds like you are moving right along....unbelievable how fast time goes - you 'just' got banded and look at you!

Ok, time to get back on track. Where's my bottle of Water? Someone plug in the treadmill. It's time to get my booty to Onderland. *burps*

      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.
