The wine is gone! I still have no fill, was scheduled to have it put back in yesterday but I was really sick. But I'm going fine without it, so I might just wait a while and see how it goes. I'm back down to my low, and from here it's all downhill! No more yo-yo'ing for this girl.

BMI 51.0 - 36.9/ C 222 (-85 lbs total, -2 this week)

Funny girl, thanks for the great job you did with last moth's GFG Club!

CS, I hope you have a blast this month with the thread. Let us know if you need any help. :)

no loss this week. I'm getting sooo frustrated. I'm never going to lose 11 lbs in 17 days to make my mini goal. I've lost 60% of my weight and i know the lapband is supposed to do 60-80% so i'm wondering if this is it for me. I'm going to try to pump things up at the gym and drink more Water etc, but i'm getting very discouraged.

Desi,

I know it's hard not to be discouraged when you're working so hard...

but don't throw in the towel!! I find it nearly impossible to believe that someone who has made sooo much progress could possibly be stopped cold forever.

I'm no expert, but I have seen ALOT of stories from experienced bandsters who get to plateaus that can last weeks (even months:omg: ) before the body decides to start losing again.

This journey is not over for you yet. Stay the course Hon, you've kicked butt with this weight loss so far!!!

((((Gigantic Hugs to you!!!))))

Should we start over as far as members? I bet a bunch of the people on the list don't check in anymore.

I'd have to agree with you there.

For now, maybe what I'll do is highlight those of us who are checking in, with another color...and we'll see who trickles in as the weeks go by.

The best me - H 242/ S 223/ J 188/ C 181.0 (-61 lbs total, +2.0 this week :) ) Starting BMI for August: 30.1 Eek!

Okay, I'm planning on checking my BMI at the end of the month, but score cards and daily updates and tally marks and oh my! I'm not doing all that challenge stuff. Although Funny's prize would be WONderful! So I'll add my starting BMI to my line here...and check it at the end, just for fun!

Good luck everyone!!!!!! And great work Sunshine! :clap2: :clap2:

      Hey guys new to the process looking forward to this new life.

      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.
