December Bandsters in February!



Recommended Posts

Guess we're all getting into our routine and people have less questions than right after we had our surgery! :)

Ok....I have a question about Tilapia! I cooked it for dinner the other night (YUMMY btw)....but obviously couldn't finish it all b/c my 2nd fill is working so great! ;-) So...anyone know how long it keeps before you need to throw it out?? I hate to waste good fish, but I have a feeling I'm going to have to cause i just can't eat it all!

Steph, I totally overate last night, too. I've already got an appointment for a checkup/fill tomorrow, I hope they're a bit more aggressive than last time! I totally understand your frustration - I feel it, too! Grrrr..... I was hoping this would be easier!

Had my 3rd fill only .2 cc which takes me to 2cc in my band. I am doing the liquid thing now so I wont know how it worked for a few days. Good luck with your fill Steph!

Well it is march 1st I did not quite meet my feb goal of 20 exercise sessions I made it to 15 I couldnt go some of the time b/c of my car and the weather. It's time to make a March goal!!

Mine is going to be 10lbs off in March! This will put me in ONEderland!

I now think I have a good fill- things are getting stuck mostly b/c I eat too fast so I am working on slowing down. I am also going to count calories for a while so I will KNOW exactly where I am at cal/protein and carb wise.

So what are the March goals!?!

I'm posting this on all the December threads to try to reach everyone.

I think those of us still posting have decided it's easier to just stick with the original December bandsters thread:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=25506

There doesn't seem to be much traffic on the monthly threads and we may be losing people with each new thread.

However, like I said before, if others want to keep the monthly threads going, I'll follow wherever you go. :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
