It's a great day to be alive!!!



Recommended Posts

Can I just say, it's a great day to be alive?! I am just so happy and wanted to share. I got my first fill on Fri and now I feel as though I've gone from a stationary bike to a Harley-Davidson. I have lost 25 lbs without restriction and I can't wait to see what happens next. My scales are finally moving for the first time in weeks. It's amazing. I LOVE RESTRICTION!!!!!

I took a walk this evening and it's just beautiful here....currently 73 degrees. It rained earlier today and it was nice to smell the country air and listen to the crickets & cicadas. I was thinking of how fortunate I am. I have a beautiful family AND I'm losing weight.

Just ignore this is you think it's corny.....it is. I just wanted to type how I am feeling. I love LBT and am thankful for this site!!!

I'm jealous of that wonderful temp you have in Indiana...it's really hot and muggy here in Tennessee but the thunder is rolling, so a storm is headed this way, and my knee doesn't allow for much walking. I'm so happy your first fill was a positive experience. It was so good to hear as I prepare to have my first. You are my inspiration. Keep up the good work, and yes it is wonderful just to be alive and see such a cheerful post :)

I hope it's OK to ask you here do you like the new weight loss sticker...I love it. "I will not cheat on my diet"....it's cute don't you think. Apparently the site is back up and I now have two tickers :confused: The top ticker has to go, but will have to wait for daughter (the computer genie) to fix it. I'm "computer challenged".

Luv ya,

Dody

You know, my FIL is in Crossville, TN and they have said how HOT it has been there. I'm glad to be here. You never know what to expect from one day to the next, but that's OK.

I'm sure your fill will go great as well. Every day the scales keep slipping down. If I had known this, I would have gotten my fill a long time ago. Figured it gave me time to work on the head hunger thing.

LBT can always use a cheerful post. I hope this can pick someone up today. It's corny, I know however, truthful. Luv you too my friend!!

        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
