Wheezy Whispers-AKA September's Goals

Green, good luck with your fill. My first fill was Oct. 5th and I just scheduled my second fill for Oct. 19th.

Hmmmm that is a good question Cloe. Will it ever go away for good? God, I hope so....but I fear not. Like you, my feelings for the food have also decreased a lot...but I most certainly do have them.

Yasmina, sometimes I feel like eating a lot (but I can't, because of the band)....but admittedly my cravings don't last as long and I don't get them as much (but I do have to fight them when they rear up). Other times, I don't feel like eating at all (but I force myself to). In some way, food has lost its appeal to me...and then in other ways I find myself obsessing about it more than I ever did!!

Go figure.

I'm still happy with my band though!

I totally agree with all this. Food has lost (alot of) its appeal to me. Sometimes I want it, some times I could care less, and only eat cause I should. Sometimes it feels like its more trouble than its worth. I almost feel like I need to eat only the best tasting stuff, cause I have so little of it, it better be damn good!

I had a huge craving for toast with Peanut Butter the other day... I took a couple bites, it wasn't going down too well, so I licked the melted peanut butter off. :omg: LOL

LOL.....sucking off the Peanut Butter.< /p>

I'm glad to hear it's not just me with the cravings. I guess cravings are just a fact of life. Thinking about it the other day I was realizing that even my skinny friends have cravings. So again I was reminding myself not to beat memyself up to bad when I do induldge. Maybe thats the key. Maybe that is the difference between skinny girls and us. We continue to beat ourselves up over eating (and everything else), then of course keep eating. Just kinda thinking out loud here, what do you think??

You are so right Cloe, whether we admit it or not there are psychological issues about how we became the way we are. We collectively as a group are fighting as hard as we can to kill the demons. If we could only stop Beating ourselves up!!!

By the way isn't always the parent's fault that we are the way we are....... At least that's what my daughter tells me. And the cycle perpetuates.

Just thinking out loud

It's weird now that sometimes I put my thoughts in writting..... This is PMS for me. What do you think? Am I nuts or what? I think so.

Thanx, eh. I am getting the fill on Tuesday and I need it because my appetite is back but I am dreading it. I hate needles and I am weirded out by the idea of PB-ing. Ugh! On the other hand, I am tired of being a fatso.

Green, I was banded before you and had 1 fill and I have yet to PB. I occasionally had the golfballing and it is usually at the beginning of the meal. It's a reminder to eat slower. So don't sweat it. It will be OK.

Anyways... are you going back to Mississauga for your fill, or are you able to go to Ottawa for this one?

Mandi, I will be going back to Mississauga. I will do the trek because I still don't want to be the first for the Dr in Ottawa. The Ottawa Dr. was doing his first fills late October. I would rather drive the distance to go see Dr M. I didn't want to say how much trouble he had doing the first fill because, well.... I didn't want to dwell on the negative...but boy did it hurt!!! He had the needle buried as deep as it would go and even so he had to press hard to finally get it. I just don't want to leave it to a beginner. Hope this one takes.

Yeah....Yeah... Cloe, that's it. He wanted to get closer to my heart. Yeah, that's it. Seriously, I don't know why my port is so deep. All I know is that Dr M said it was a good thing (he is always pointing out the positive) but it's not so good when the whole needle is buried and it's still not long enough!!!!

Cloe, your are selling yourself short. I see what you weigh from your ticker and you are so wrong about me being smaller than you.

Wheezy... apparently mine is super deep too. Don't worry, when we're skinny ass super models, we won't need to switch our ports to the low-profile ones.

      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.
