Dongrats Emily,

That is absolutely fabulous. You should be sooooooooooo proud of yourself. 100 pounds Can you really picture how much that is. I wished I had lost 100 pounds but I'm so proud you have.

Amy, I am feeling good, hope your cold gets better fast. Please give me some ideals of something to eat besides broth and pudding, I'm ready to pull my hair out. LOL

C 228 -3 lbs (and *finally* out of the 230's -- that took forever!)

Ok, thanks Funny for the welcome + here is my info:

My name is Katrina, I work in the wine industry in the Napa Valley. Its somewhat of a rough location for weight loss if you know what I mean, thankfully I'm not a huge drinker, and not so much of a huge eater anymore. I am a huge fan of activities, I played a lot of sports when I was younger, but have some joint issues surfacing at the ripe old age of 20. I'm 28 now, but I feel much older. This year, I got tired of the on again, off again diet pill thing, and have been thinking long and hard about long term, sustainable weight loss that I can healthfully live with. I got the band in Mexicali in late August. I'm back to working out regularly after I was a major player in one of my friend's weddings. I'm going to Hawaii in a couple of days with a really good friend of mine and I am really excited!!!

One more thing: I'm going to update my stats later this week. My scale is way different than my doc's scale and i think mine sticks. The other day it said I was 315 and I'm pretty sure I'm not. I'm (for now) going by what he said on his scale. I need more accountability for myself with my band. I need to start using it as a tool, not a crutch. I haven't had the easiest time switching back to regular food. Sooo, that's about it! Thanks for the welcome!!!

Nolagirl,

TriciaK lives out there near New Orleans. You, Jennifer28 and Tricia should make a little New Orleans Lapband support group. That would be cool.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
