Way to go...doesn't that just make you feel great? I love getting into smaller sizes...I have gone from an 18 to 12/14...not in jeans, but in the stretch type of pants...I haven't bought any jeans, yet....

I'm still alive. WOrking on Homecoming this week and next. Then I can relax for the rest of the year! Gus turned 3 on Wednesday...big party at Chucky cheese on Saturday!

I'm scheduled for a fill on the 8th and I'm planning on being at the meeting that evening too. I don't think I will have a fill though. I'm never hungry and can only eat a little still, but I'm no longer sick to my stomach. I've only gone about 2 weeks without being sick and I'm not ready to give up my comfort yet. If I can lose 1 lb by Monday, I will have lost 10 on this fill. If I deny a fill, and need one in say about 2 weeks, will they let me get one or do I have to wait?

LO2us, glad to hear from you! I have never denied a fill, but I think you may have to wait. Not real sure but I was thinking someone said that on here. Doesn't sound like you need one anyway. Dr, H said if you are sick and or can't eat enough, you are too tight. He told me that last visit. He said if that doesn't ease in a few days, call them. I was a little surprised at that. Thought you had to wait longer. Anyway that never applies to me. Sometimes I wonder if I have a leak, like Susan did. I think it was Susan. I am 7 months out now. I am so glad you are doing so well! It feels wonderful, huh? I am looking forward to seeing you Mon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUS!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone. How's everyone this morning?

Shannon, Dr. H told me that if we didn't get a fill, we would have to wait until the next scheduled visit to get a fill.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Talk to yall later.

Shannon, you are doing well too. Way to go. I'm hoping to get my first pin at our support group meeting. Maybe, I can lose the last two before then.

Yall hang in there. Drink your Water and stay in the box.

Got an email from Mrs. Betty. YES, the meeting is on for Mon. (tomorrow night.) 7:00 p.m. I don't know why it didn't get posted on noscales. Guess Dr. H is super busy. Hope everyone had a great weekend. We went to Nashville, AR to hear Cheryl Wright, think that was her name. Anyway we really enjoyed it and the weather was beautiful. I haven't been getting out much these days, so I enjoyed it more than usual.

      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.
