Recommended Posts

what a great weight loss, let's fill up them bags girls. This morning I was looking for a shirt to wear for church and I had to throw 2 in a box for yard sale, so it is wonderful (TOO BIG).

Hi Jeanie,

im looking foward to being able to do the same thing get rid of all the bigger sizes when I get banded. I have lost weight in the past and given all my big sizes away only to regain and wish Id kept them - oh well the good news is I have a draw full of lovely clothes that as I loose I'll be able to fit into.

What about getting some things altered, made smaller, I think if you have something special its worth looking into.

I cant wait until i can fit into what I like too not just what would fit.

Good luck to all and continue the good work

Cheers Ruth :)

Hi,

I'm new to this board and am so glad to have found it. You can download Jessie's book as well, it is about $6.00. You have to read it on your computer, you can't print it, copy and paste it either. It is so helpful especially for people who are researching, and newly banded. Best of luck!

I really wanted a hard copy of the book and ordered it on Amazon.com. It was only $13.95 so thats not too bad. I just WISH it would get here. I keep hearing such nice things about it and want to read my own!!! Teresa;)

P.S. WAY TO GO JEANIE!!! 77 lbs is a LOT of weight and I am really impressed. Keep up the good work. When did you get banded? :)

did anyone out there have really bad gas a couple of days later - like so bad it hurts to take deep breaths. I called my surgeon yesterday and he told me not to take any more percosets and take a suppository. Not much better yet. I figured I should ask the experts. thanks Janis:cry

SEVENTY-SEVEN. Wow. That's insane. Seventy-seven? 77, Seventy and seven. I can't stop saying it. If I ever lost 77 pounds I'd climb a tree and shout it in the streets.

But I'm half way there and wearing a pair of jeans today for the first time in almost a decade! I was able to get them on a month ago, but today I'm sitting down in them and wearing them to work!

Rock on, Jeanie, ROCK ON!

Yap I donated all my old clothes and at the end of the year I even get a tax break, its a win win situation.

Well don't forget to keep one set of big clothes, just to remind yourself.....

I'm just 6 weeks out and have moved from size 22 jeans to 18! I love making my "too big" pile. I'm flying to Kansas on Monday (from CA) to see my grandson and packing includes trying on everything to see what fits!

It's too good to be true!

LOVEED your line dancers! ;) How'd you do that?:D

Yes I have....like feeling like you are having a heart attack! Well when I called the office and FINALLY got to talk to a human...:D ...I was told I was taking in too much air when I eat or drink. So now I am being very careful. Before I swallow food I exhale and before I drink I do the same. Last night it was soo bad and the only relief I got was to keep making myself belch!:D But I did that soo much that I threw up. Think I will go get some GasX and keep it on hand. Now we know how a colicy baby feels:( I NEVER had this until after my first fill 6 days ago. Hope you soon feel better!;)

Congratulations. I am so jealous. I have been working with a fitness trainer for 4 weeks and seeing no change. I have lost a total of 42lbs but have been at the same weight for months. What is your secret? Can you tell us what a day is like for you.:D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
