Thats horrible........

I'm full............. the glutton that I am had tuna and crackers for lunch....

I do not seem to have a problem with crackers......... hmmmmmmm maybe I WILL go ahead and get a fill on Monday.

DF and I are talking about going to the courthouse and getting hitched in secret so that I can add him and the boys to my insurance now and then have the family ceremony in March... (since he is making a job change) What are everyones thoughts on keeping this a secret from the family?

Tracy - my aunt did that, she did it small and simple and didn't even have a formal ceremony, they had a huge clam steam with 200 people. It was one of the best weddings. My friend just left here, ds's speech therapist, she is getting married on a local cruise ship, simple, hot and cold buffet and desert and not cake.

i say go for it. make it enjoyalbe with little stress.!!!! and the insurance is worth it.

LOL

I'm going to ask for a fill on Tuesday...I'm just worried - I'm at 2.8 in my band...what happens when I get close to 4 and possibly need more fills??? Has anyone seen this happen to anyone? I've seen it once on a board and they said that the doc said no more fills....

Tracy I say GET MARRIED!! If you both are happy and you're doing it for all of the right reasons, who cares if it's in secret...?? Nobody will know but the two of you! That way you can Celebrate 2 anniversaries!! hehe :)

Kity- There ARE quack doctors in Mexico (just like USA), I was talking about the prominent doctors, but they believe they're all quacks due to the hype you see on TV about the mexican doctors that butcher people.

Tracy- Do it! :)

Adorable- You can over-fill your bands, I forget the numbers, but I think 4cc can be filled to 7cc--safely.

I've been doing good, keeping up with my myplate.com thing, to track food intake.

Even on my 'binge' days when I'm craving all kinds of CRAP, my highest calories is 1800-2300. Since my metabolic test from my first surgeon said 3400 calories to maintain my weight, I don't beat myself up over it.

Yesterday though, we were on our way to a steak house, we passed Steak & shake and DH wanted to go there.. said he hasn't had it since it opened in our town (which is good IMHO), so we went. BOO!!

OMG.. I was putting it in myplate today, I had 2800 calories yesterday.. ALL BECAUSE OF STEAK & SHAKE. I told him, the food wasn't even good enough to justify that kind of calories (They made up for about 2,000 calories I had yesterday).. ridiculous.. absolutely ridiculous.

So yea, no more S&S ever again for me.

Hey Tracy... Because you asked... I say "NO" to secrets... even good ones... why go there if you don't have to?... they always come out, someone always gets mad, it just muddles everything up (ever watch a soap opera?)... + then why go thru all the stress of a "real" wedding in March? which won't be "real" really?... too much! I vote do it one way or the other: either have a court ceremony & then a big fun party, or do the March wedding w/reception... TOTALLY just my 2 cents worth!

No you didn't miss reading about it, I didn't put anything in there, I was going to wait until tomorrow when I held it for a day to really jump for joy.

It is so much easier to do the liquid thing after a fill when I know I can't physically eat, so even though i'm not really hungry, I want things. There is no way i'm even close to ready for a fill, so this is a head trip for me.

Tomorrow when I'm still down I'll jump and scream and yell how exciting LOL

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

        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
