November/Christmas Goal



Recommended Posts

Awesome! You should put something like "Christmas Goal" on top of it, so people don't harass you and say "Sheesh... getting the lapband for a measley 12 pounds!?!" :thankyou: Or else put up your total lost ticker too... I love seein' it!

Thanks Argon,

Thanks,

Dawn

You know... it doesn't make sense that your ticker doesn't work when you're at home... tickerfactory tickers are just URL's, and not something that's saved on your computer... I use a computer at work (right now) and at home, and my ticker shows up all the time. Hmmm... weird.

I had picked a Christmas goal before I saw this thread (picked it a couple days ago), but am gonna join in. I'm really hoping Santa can take 20 pounds from me.:grouphug:

And by then I'm gonna make it a goal to get in 3 hours of exercise a week.:)

Hi guys,

I am reporting how I am doing on my goal (see the ticker...) and wondering if this is the place to ask about this. I am dizzy... has anyone else felt this way? I am wondering if my blood pressure is low. I was going to get a fill in two weeks and then I thought... no I am doing okay with no problems so I won't muck around with it yet. But, this week I notice that I am full really quickly (i.e. 1/2 an English muffin is too much today).

Anyone have any ideas about the dizziness?? I would love to hear your thoughts!!!

I would ask this in a new thread, OR maybe even in the 'general' area, so anyone (not just canadians) sees it and answers.

I get dizzy too, every now and then. Why not go get your BP checked, even at one of those drugstore BP machines?

Are you losing consistantly every week, or have you lplateaued?

(or even do a search for "dizzy", and you'll find probably 100 people who asked the same thing! :rolleyes: )

Gosh, I finally got the extra 5 pounds of McFlurry fat off I put on before my fill. So now I'm back to 277. But alas, all the craft and bake sales of Christmas. I've been realy good, no going crazy, but goodies everywhere!!! Think I better add more extra-cirricular activity:eyebrows: .

I too broke down at the pressure of the bake sale... we had one at work to raise money for the 'social committee". 2 separate days, I bought: Peanut Butter fudge, and a little plate with a piece of peanut butter marshmallow square, homemade Reese's PB cup, a brownie, and a shortbread cookie. Someone slap my hand!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
