Thanks Louise, now if i could just stop eating! :)

Try to look at this as being a little holiday. You will be filled and restricted again. You have lost weight :clap2: and you will continue to do so. :( This is just a petite break, and kinda like a walk down memory lane...or eat street.:phanvan This period will not forever and it will remind you of why you became a bandster. Maybe, although eat street is a very scary place to find yourself, you can learn something interesting about yourself and the drive to eat. Maybe something positive will come of this unexpected situation in which you find yourself. And, you know, it could be a lot worse; there are those of us who suffer slippage or leaks.:omg: Ugh! Every bandster's nightmare, eh.

I hope I don't sound too much like the Pollyanna who nobody wants to hear. I'll shut up now and go away.

Neenagh - I am sorry to read about your troubles. I hope you can get a fill soon. You must be so frustrated, but try to remember that this is just a bump in the road, and will make a permanent mark in your life's journey. Big hugs and warm thoughts.

Thanks Bandiva everyone here is so kind,

It is really scary having no restriction, all my bad hunger is back! It has really made me realize how great the band is tho. when i have restriction, i actually have to remind myself to eat! right now i'm back with the old demons, thinking about food constantly, trying to hold on (not very successfully) kinda sad and depressed too.

I haven't tried it...yet, but i've heard that you can bludgeon someone to death with a frozen leg of lamb, roast it and feed the evidence to the cops when they come! If i hear of any more i' let you know, as a public service. heheheh

Cloe can probably get you a deal on a leg of lamb!

Hey neenagh, since I am soon to be in your shoes, give me some words of wisdom! How's it going? Are you managing to not gain whilst unfilled?

Oooh... or are you on that vacation you were talkin' about!?

        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.

      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
