Thanks for the encouragement on my new bike. I will have to buy a helmut, our laws say a helmut must be worn. Haven't had a chance to shop yet. Hopefully this week sometime.

You are doing really well down 70lbs since Sept. I am a little slower than that, haven't reached a 30lb loss yet since my surgery day Sept 24. I ate way too many sweets over Christmas.

Well on to the New Year and hopefully better results.

Happy new year! Hope all is well. I haven't been written for a while but I've been keeping up.

Well these past two days were horrible food wise. I ate more carbs that should have. I did gain a pound which makes me sad. But only motivates me know to keep going forward.

Congrats to all the weight loss reported here in spite of the holidays!!

I drank way too much on New Years which for me that equals eating too many Snacks while buzzed. Then, this morning I weighed in and I have gained 3 pounds. I am pretty dissapointed in myself but I am back to work and focused. Hopefully, this year I will not fail my annual New Years Resolution as I do every other year.

Green- You are awesome! Way to go! I am so happy for you. I bet you feel soo good about yourself!

NGMA- I think once in a while is ok, otherwise we go crazy for holding out on ourselves.You are doing good just stay focused on our goal! Now if only I can take my advice. LOL

RESEARCHING- YAY on size12. I have a whole box of 12's in the garage and I am dying to get into them, I cant yet. I am between a 16-18!

Scared- we are kindred spirits. I LOVE Carbs too much Uggghhh. :(

ARTSONG- You are getting there!! So close to Onderland!

Rybecca- ME TOOO!!!

Brandy- You look beautiful and i got the chills just thinking about tequila! LOL ((shudder))

MANDY- AWESOME!!! Way to work the sleeve. I hear ya on the exercise.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HELLO TO ANYONE I MISSED!!

I have 4. They are fading every day. 3 or 5 would not make a big difference to me though since I just had my gallbladder out last year and have 3 from that!

I have 5. Three of which are very small. Only one still looks bad, but it did rip open. The rest are fading nicely. My doctor said to keep them from the sun for 6-12 months and they will fade greatly.

        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
