Thanks Telly ((Hugs))

I have lost a lot recently. I can't count how many times I have seen people in the last two weeks and the first things out of their mouths are skinny this or skinny that. Which of course makes me feel super great, but also makes me laugh....usually a 190 something girl isn't "skinny" lol.

Great job Natural Beauty!

Hope everyone else is having a great week!

Wow! Everyone is doing so great! :rockon:

NaturalBeauty! Goal?! Wow and Gratz!!

This group is showing just how well the band works when you apply logic, some self control, determination, and ok.. a fill. :)

(I lost 5.5 pounds last week with NO fill, Heather. Dont fear the fill-less band!)

Congratulations to all those at or near goal - you're an inspiration to me!!!!!

Funny - what are you eating 6 times a day to not go over 600 calories? I need a little more structure in my routine and I think eating 6 meals would be good for me but almost everything I can think of that will fill me is at least 150 to 200 calories!

Yes, pics pwease!

EmileeKaye, I saw your pictures on myspace and wow you are really small now. You are tall and 190lbs on you v/s me...there's a huge difference.

You were always meant to be skinny. I say that b/c I see how skinny your ankles, wrists and neck are. I can't imagine 160 on you.

Oh my - I just went back and read about the colon blow - I am literally sobbing with laughter and tears are streaming down my face....... Is this a real product? I grew up in a family that was poop obsessed so you can imagine why I find this so damned funny!

All I have to do is take some milk of mag and within 2 hours I'm "releasing" as you so delicately put it. I think pictures of the "end" product is a little too graphic, even for me.

Funny - stay out of the pool - remember Caddy Shack?

Wow,

It seems like everyone is rocking and rolling. I lost another 5 this week. This second fill has been a godsend. He has me scheduled for a third fill in three weeks but I'll wait and see. I'm able to get in 800 calories or so with no problem. Just chew, chew, chew. We're going to Florida in 2 weeks and it was soooooo much fun going through my closet and taking out what I can't wear. I have 5 of the biggest totes they make full of mine and dh's clothes, (He's lost 45 pounds since I decided to get banded and he wasn't even heavy). I guess if there's nothing cooked, you don't eat. LOL Anyway, I have all of those clothes to donate and now probably one hand full that does. But, what a wonderful feeling. I'm also going in mid October to help out in Louisiana so that will be rewarding. I know I've only lost almost 40 pounds but I can sure fill it and cant wait to loose the other 75. LONG WAY TO GO, but with the band's help, we can do it.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, isn't the weather fabulous. Highs have been low 80's. Yea haa.

Mysherrijo, you've done superbly to only be almost 2 months out, 40lbs down. Wowzers. I'm happy your husband lost weight with you. It's more supporting in my eyes. Only wish I could say the same thing about my significant other. I think mine gained the weight I lost.

        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
