Okay, so when exactly is Easter ( the date I mean..)? Surely I can lose 10 pounds. I have been so discouraged because I keep gaining. Seems like I gain 2, lose 1/2 lb. Crazy I know. I guess I thought once I got this band all my troubles would be over. No more being hungry, being bored...etc... I know Im nuts..ha ha ha

Even after my third fill, I still dont have very much restriction...but I truly think its all in my head, but how do you over come that garbage...I really do need some therepy.(seriously)

Hope everyone has a good day, talk to ya later on this afternoon.

Welcome aboard White! I seem to be the only regular male lurker around here. But I love all of my October Bandster Angels. Each and everyone has written something that has encouraged me when I've been down. This is a great group.

I as well am up for the Easter Challenge. I didn't quite make the Valentines day challenge but that will not discourage me! I want to be a loser and I will be a loser!

Y'all have a great day. We got a half a foot of snow here last night. Ugh! But you know what? Shoveling snow has gotten considerably easier since I started to exercise! Now I just need to teach my wife how to do it and I'll have it made!.............Jimboss

One more thing girls. I think you'll chuckle about this.

I was in for my fourth fill the other day and my lovely nurse Mellisa was getting my numbing injection ready and told me as she was getting ready to stick me..."little prick now". I told her "Not really Mel. It's just cold in here". She about fell out! She enjoyed my humor anyway........LOL.

Love you all................Jimboss

I bet your a riot......!!!!! As far as the snow goes, I live in Alabama, and we havent got real snow since 1993, but the weather says our best chance is Saturday night. Im hoping....I dont want any travel problems but I would love for my girls to have a little snow experience. (snowman or snowgirl..ha ha)

How cold is it where you live?

Yesterday it was 60 degrees here, today raining and a balmy 45 degrees. Very weird weather to say the least.

Good talking to ya!!!

I hate to take up all of the posting space but I am thrilled to announce that I am actually under 280 pounds! I got a weight done today at the Dr's office and I am 279.7!!!!!!!!!!! What a thrill! I gotta tell you girls, Old Jimboss is one happy camper. I know I have a long way to go but I haven't seen the 270's for at least 10 years!

I wish I had the funds because I'd buy everyone of my Bandster Angels red roses for valentines day! Your support means everything to me girls. Thanks so very much for all you've done.

But the journey continues! I'd love to drop another 80 pounds and with y'alls help..........Jimboss will make it! Bless you all and I love ya!

Hi friends!

Way to go Jimboss!

It was a decent day - got to work from home - reminded me how much i need a new job. The furnace repair man was early! left and I had heat!

Now that its 18 but feels like -1 the heats gone again. i didnt believe my DH when he told me so i snapped on him. GGRR I'm so annoyed!!

But i did spend all day baking like a crazy person for our bake sale tomorrow and only had 1 cookie and a bite of a cupcake.

Hey Jimboss I may be in your neck of the woods soon. My california client wants to see his first run of cards being produced and we do them in Sioux Falls. I'm trying to talk him into letting me go to CA with photocopies instead!

well i better go cacccooon myself under lots of covers and see what tomorrow brings.... more snow it looks like but maybe we'll raise a lot of $$ for my girls...

Nyte all!

Hi everyone, it's been awhile since I posted but I'm back. I reached the Valentines day goal and I'm up for the Easter goal, I'm setting my goal at 15# maybe this way it will get me to exercise. Jimboss your right about the snow shoveling, it is easier but I still don't like it. We got 15 inches today and it is blowing like crazy so no sooner than I get it done it is covered up again. I'm going to look for the muscle milk everones talking about and try it. I hope everyone has a nice Valentines Day.

Happy Valentine's Day my friends!

So i hopped on the scale this morning to see how close/far I was from teh Valentine's challenge. I almost fainted when i saw the 210.0!! 1 pound away!!

BUT HOW is it possible to lose 5 pounds overnight?? I got on and off the scale probably 7 times.

Maybe I shouldn't call the furnace folks! Maybe this shivering to fall asleep is really the next best exercise crazy. Wonder how i can make a DVD out of that ....

:)

Have a wonderful day! I better get to working...

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
