Hey, congrats! Who knows what normal is. Doctors differ. Spivak moves you back to normal food within a few days anmd does a fill after 3 weeks. Most other doctors have a longer process for getting back to solids.

Well, I think I'm heading into a new phase with my band. I had a plateau for so long, and now I'm losing slowly, and I had to decide if I want to stay basically where I am, which is fine!...or if I wanted to get aggressive about losing more. I think I do. I'm not calling it a diet, but I am going to be very conscious of fat/carbs, etc. Egg white omlettes without cheese....more fish more tofu for protein....raw foods instead of processed, etc. I'm going to do it for a month and see how I do and what I think. I'm still going to allow myself to just do Portion Control and enjoy if I'm in a good restaurant. I think it's time. food doesn't have as great a control on me as it used to, and if I keep my sugar/sweetener addition under wraps, I should be OK. I'm sick of shakes...actually I'm sick of sweeteners.... so I'm going off them for the month and will supplement regular food with Any whey to get extra Protein. Should be an interesting month.

The other weird thing is that sometimes I can look in the mirror and not see the weight loss.

I'm game for anytime. Monday 5:30PM?

WOW Betsy I'm shocked. You have done great!!! I'm game for dinner, but I might be late. It seems I'm working lots now. I can make 6:00 better than 5:30. I have a friend moving down the street from me. She is in my June group, PinkyLee, and I'm so excited. She will be joining our group in a few weeks!!

Where are we going? My pics are the same ones I posted before.

The side shot is a great idea. It really shows your success. But.....is that a before or after shot of your toenail polish?

6PM is fine with me. I don't care where. I'm uninspired......

Umm I didn't realize you could see the whole albumn!!!! Toenail was my 60th birthday, 3 months after surgery!

How about Applebees? It would be a change. 6:00 will be great.

      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.
