BJean, it wasn't me exercising 3 hours a day - I am lucky if I can get in an hour a day! I'm trying to do three days of cardio and two days of weights...

I saw my Dr. today and I get my second fill on Fri morning at 10AM,:clap2: I am very excited about that. My food does not last 3 -4 hours after I eat, I am hungry after 1 1/2 hours. So he said it was time and Fri. will be 6 weeks since the last one.

Later.

OK I'm back. No loss but no gain either. And on reflection, that is a miracle. We took 3 teenagers and a 9 year old to Washington D.C. and have had several birthday parties, 2 directors meetings in Okla. that I had to fly to and stay out of town several days at a time, incredible job stress, Thanksgiving, and guests for the past 2 weeks and I have not gained a pound. WoooooHoooooooooo!!! You guys have perked me right up! Thanks. AND...I am ready to start again and keep going down. Katt

Tami or was it TrueBlue, who is doing so well and exercising 3 hours a day?

Not me! I just joined an exercise club, but haven't developed a habit, yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't been in over a week. Gotta get off the 'puter, and onto the treadmill!

Just wanted to check in for Monday weigh in. Luckily, I already lost the 4 pounds I gained in Mexico. I guess it was Water weight. ;) That being said, I didn't lose any weight either. So for the Christmas goal, it's a zero. ;) Tami, I hope you're feeling better. It is weird to get restriction so late. Late us know what happens. Happy Monday everyone!

Karey, I'm glad that water weight came back off so quickly!

I'll know today whether I'm still having trouble eating. I stuck with liquids the past two days. Unfortunately, they weren't necessarily the best liquids, though. I searched all around for a smoothie place yesterday for lunch but couldn't find one. So, I decided that a milkshake couldn't be all that bad. OMG, my advice...don't EVER get a Chick-fil-a chocolate milkshake. When I got home, I checked the website, and that sucker was over 700 calories! And it was orgasmic! I'll never get my Chick-fil-a milkshake virginity back again, so I'll have to rely on good old abstinence!

Hi all-

I haven't been on-line in a while...so I thought I should try and get back into the groove of things.

I went in for my first fill on the Monday the 27th..

I have the V.G. Band, and I got 4.8 cc's

I was happy, I wanted at least 4 cc's

We'll see how much restriction I feel in a week or two..

Wish me luck!

I was banded on 9/1/06...to date I have lost 25 lbs. My 2nd fill they over filled me. I had them draw .5cc out. It has been 3 weeks since they took it out and now I am trying to determine weather or not I should go back in and have them put maybe 1/2 that amount in? I do not feel that I am loosing the correct amount of weight each month. Any suggestions?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
