Just remember, everyone, when you get one of those urges to "live on the edge", it may come back and haunt you at any time!!! lol

DeLarla made me do it!!

Sorry to be so incommunicado - life with BF has been a dream come true, and we've been traveling every weekend and running around during the week once I get home from work, and it seems I barely have time to turn around these days.

My eating has not been so mindful these past few weeks, and I had not been in the habit of eating three full meals a day any longer, particularly not mostly in restaurants where there is always bread and potatos offered/included, so I have crept out of my 10lb "safety zone" as of Monday - +14.5 pounds from my low of 200.5. ;)

I know that once we stop eating out and I get back into my walking routine all will return to normal, but being tired anyway, I confess I'm feeling a little down. Nothing like before, of course. But I need to start asking those hard questions again before I choose what I eat, and why...

Lisa G., it all makes sense now, knowing that you're just now seeing the bra pics... lol On a regular day, no, I wouldn't post the saggy boob collage. But you never know what I might do on one of those "wild hair" days!!

:laugh

Wild hair days....whats that like I wonder. Maybe once I lose more weight like you and Delarla I'll start riding motor bikes and posting boob pics! Hey, I might even combine the two. I can see it now...Delarla can I borrow your bike and Donali your bra for the pics?

Donali-

I was hoping that your quietness was a result of having wonderful times with your new live in lovaaaa :-).

Sorry to hear that you're struggling. My heart goes out to you and I think of you often.

One of the things I've learned since banding (and I'm sure you already know this but I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder) is that there is sometimes GOOD stress in our lives- any change can create stress and trigger old habits- even good stuff. Try not to be too hard on yourself and keep tabs on that black and white thinking!!!!!!

I just hope you know that you've got a bunch of people here rooting for you and will love you no matter what!

Megan

He was in Mannheim.

I like this new format, for the most part, but I'm missing a bizillion threads, I'm afraid... It's like the new posts are being automatically marked read before I get to them, and I miss the "Get New Posts" buttons that linked to recent posts whether they'd been read or not...

Learning curves - I hate 'em... :P

I had to do a search to find this one. ;)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
