Are you wearing Band-aids on your rings yet?

I started with a 1/2 a band-aid per ring, and now I am up to a whole band-aid per ring.

I am waiting to resize. I wear 8 rings and only 2 can be resized. Now I have one of those soft ring sizers on the wedding rings but lost one of my fav silver rings under a counter at the grocery store and had to move 4 cases of oranges to get under the counter and find it. People must have thought I was really picky! I really did not have much to loose from my fingers. Why couldn't more of it come off my butt!

I am waiting to reach goal and stabilize before I get mine resized. I can wear my semi-precious rings on my pointer now instead of my right ring finger.

My wedding band and my "5 year service award" as DH calls it will need to be resized. They are wearing band-aids now.

The wedding band I moved to my right ring finger because I am right handed and the diamonds are channel set so it would be very hard to knock them out. My "5 year service award" looks real good on my left ring finger and less likely to bang on something. DH doesn't care which one I wear it on. He rarely wears his rings because of safety issue at work.

I just recently had to move my wedding set to my middle finger. I was washing my hands in a restaurant bathroom and almost lost them down the drain! That's when I moved them. Sadly, because of weight and Water fluctuation, I never know which finger they're going to fit from day to day. Worst of all, because of the settings, neither my engagement ring nor my wedding band can be resized. The best they'll be able to do is lay in more gold on the inside of the rings - which would obliterate the inscription on my wedding band. :-(

When I reach my goal we're talking about maybe looking into using the stones in a completely different set. *sigh*

My wedding rings are loosish. I had to take the ring off my other ring finger and can now wear my gorgeous platinum and diamond number that was my grandmother's engagement ring - havent been able to wear it in seven or eight years. The one I took off was only a crappy garnet anyway, this one is a rock, lol!

My wedding ring flew across the room one day, it scared me so bad I put them all away until I get them resized later.

I bought me a cheapo mood ring at the ren faire because it felt too weird not having a ring on my wedding finger lol, and If a 2.- ring gets lost I wont cry :)

        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!

      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
