254 in July

225.4 as of 5 am this morning.

When I lose the 5.4 pounds, I'll weigh what I weighed 20 years ago!

Unbelievable.

I truly never thought I could lose weight and never be hungry.. but here I am. I can't wait for the rest to happen.

Weighed 269 before surgery (June 20, 06)

Weigh 218.5 this am (no restriction- getting a fill tuesday)

Blood pressure meds have been cut in half - actually care what I look like when I leave the house - sitting on my butt is no longer my favorite hobby - have energy that I forgot was there - :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: is the way I feel!!!

Okay, I'm not even banded yet, but started my journey of Eating the Bandster way -

I started out at 248

Today I weighed 229

I've lost 19 pounds so far, just eating my Protein first, veggies 2nd and starches last (usually none).

I'm trying to get back to exercising, still having a hard time with it, but working on it.

I am still waiting on insurnace approval.

      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.
