I was taken with your signature line about being a proud member of the ABC and I put one in my signature line as well. Thanks for the idea.

I've updated my ticker. Five more pounds to go until my next mini-goal reward. Plus, I know have less than 100 lbs. to lose.

p.s. I stole the ABC member line too!

Hey y'all

I'm checking in. I have to update my ticker. I gained 5 lbs.:faint: very upset with myself. I"ve scheduled another fill for next Wednesday (11th.) so maybe I can get back on track. I'm thinking of going ahead and purchasing a bike so I can have another way of getting in some exercise. I feel like I need to do something drastic to make my Jan.1 mini-goal. I just can't seem to make it to 230.

Kutia,

I feel ya girl! This was my first week of all solid food and in no time at all, 4 lbs came right back. I'm telling myself this is not surprising, but I also feel almost no restriction and the portion sizes are creeping up. I've scheduled my first fill for Oct. 19. Water aerobics class -- here I come!

August 15. Down 23 pounds. Had my first fill today. 2cc in an 11 cc band. I think my band doc said he uses the Vanguard bands, so I think those are 11cc. Not positive though.

Thanks Faybie, you rock!

      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.
