Omg!!!! Yaay you ! Please pray I'm still IN the 140s when I get off my cruise. Seriously, I'm freaked out about gaining and I know I shouldn't be but I've worked so hard. Not sure I will be able to withstand all that food. Just have to make sure I try to get in enough physical exercise to offset it.

I hope we get this site straightened out soon.

Good you found the group :D

I was in the 140's today let's hope it sticks after the nervous snacking I did today! :P

I know you will do fine on the cruise because you are the 5:2 queen!

I hope this gets all worked out soon too.

I realized today just how important your guys support is when I couldn't "see" any of you..

Love to all :)

Ha! I clicked on the huge "CLICK HERE FOR TECHNICAL ISSUES" bar at the top of the page (cos I want that GD Lap Band OFF my info/profile!) and it says "error, you don't have permission for this" or similar. LOL. Great!!

Good I found you guys again, I can see and I can post too but it does not advise me of new posts. It is only when I was out of touch with everyone that I realised I rely on the contact with you guys. I know I don't post all the time but I am an avid reader.

LV congrats on the 140s.

It seems like they are slowly but surely finding and fixing the problems. It must be a nightmare for Alex. Hopefully by next week we will be back to normal.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Love you all

Hi ladies.. I found the 5:2 group.   Stupid question.  I post from my pc and I don't know how to make a blank line in the Reply to this topic window.  Anyway.. LV I saw your last suggestion about purchasing a bike.  I've had all of that.. I treadmill, traded in for a bike, seat was too small, gave that to hubby and he got me a recumbent bike.  better seat wise. I have no discipline to do it.  It sits in my family room with a good view to the TV. I've been riding in the AM before everyone gets up.. but its way to easy to bypass and do something else.  I have no discipline to do it myself.  That's why I'm looking for outside exercise, if I pay I'll go, and if I plan to go right after work, I'll go.  Still looking for the best fit.  Has to be at the right place and has to be the right time, and has to have the right things I like to do.. which is group exersie like Zumba, step or Aqua Aerobics.

I am so glad I was able to reconnect to this group. I didn't realize what a support you guys have been in my journey.......

I finally got the lap band thing changed to gastric sleeve.....

I don't see the 0 warning point thing under there either anymore. Yayyyyyyyyy! I don't like punitive stuff.

Today is a new day and I am going to take the most advantage of it by just having a wonderful time with a deal childhood friend of mine.... :P Planning on eating healthy too. :P Cheers to everyone!

I'm happy to see you all this morning! Yes I was out of sorts yesterday with this fiasco and found myself stress eating a bit :(..

But a new day :) brown I know all about the dusty recumbent bike, mine was unused for years!

But now that I know that I MUST exercise it gets used because let's face it it's easier than dragging my lazy ass to the gym (yes I have a membership too) :P

Skinniness you can thank me for the warning points being gone... Although we are the only ones that can see ours I told Alex it felt like a scarlet letter I was carrying around.. He then reminded me that in reality I should have way more than one!! But was kind and disabled them for now and hopefully they won't be back!

Oh Lynda thank you :)

On that note, glad to see most of you girls today!

Those warning point things should be eliminated.

Perhaps if it is for the admin staff, they can have it where they can see it and not the member.....

Good job using your recumbent bike. I need to bring my in and start using it too. :P

Yesterday I ate more than i had in a long time too.

I'll tell him, yes I think it's good for them to know but I didn't like my nosed being rubbed in it!

Wow yesterday! So it scared me how easy it was to feel so out of sorts. I need to look at different ways of dealing with worse case scenarios..

And the thought of losing this group was a worse case scenario, trust me!!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
