Positive thoughts and Compliments



Recommended Posts

I have been banded 8 weeks now, and even though i know i am doing well with my weight loss, i feel it, and, notice it in my clothes. In my head i know it but my eyes still see the old me in the mirror.

Today i decided to go shopping with my daughter for my grandson's birthday next week, i hate shopping, i suffer from low back pain and 10 minutes in the store i am ready to go home. Well not today:) we had most of the shopping done before my back started to bother me, it was wonderful. That was the positive side of the day.:)

The best part was when my daughter,who had been looking at me from a side angle said :wow2: mom you look smaller now front and back, well i just had to give her a hug:hug: right there in the store.

That was the compliment part of the day

When i came home i decided to really look at myself properly, and yes i did look smaller, it was wonderful, this is really working, after so many diet failures we have found something that is going to be succussfull. :clap2: :clap2:

Life is wonderful:) :) Group hug to everyone.

No pictures yet Argon, like you i avoid having my picture taking. I did not have a decent before picture for Marie to put in my file, my daughter took one of me to send to them. Hopefully that will change as more weight comes off.

JMO, Yes it was the best decision i have ever made, and to feel this good with a thirty four lb weight loss. I am like a new person already, no more couch potatoe, i seem to have more energy, it is great.

        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.

      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
