Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Good morning Violets! I'm at work so I have to make this quick....

I received an email update on new devices that have just received FDA approval and this morning there was one called "Realize Band"...looks just like the Lapband. New Device Approval - REALIZE™ Band - P070009

Anyway, thought I'd share! Hope everyone is having a great day!!! :bounce:

JENNIFUR!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK SO GOOD! I love the smile!

Seriously woman........ look at that before pic and look at your jeans pic AND THE JEANS ARE BAGGY!

I have some of those jeans...... and let me just tell you that the cut is what you don't like....... this is why I went to the mid rise boot cut M length.... they are longer and make your legs look longer.... you just need to get rid of the MOM jeans and get into to the "get laid" jeans LOL! I think you look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! You have come a long way

Jennifur I think you look absolutely amazing girl! I know how you feel though - I look at myself and can't see what others see...I guess that's the psychological aspect to being fat and having a "disorder"....No matter how good we look, it's never good enough!

But I have to tell you, you're looking GOOD!!!!! :whoo:

Ok someone needs to kick my ass into gear. I am making all the bad choices, and even at the time of making them and I tell myself 'STOP!' I just don't.. and I'm snacking way too much. I feel like it's bringing me into a funk, I can't control myself!! What should I do???

Jenn---look at you Girl!!! Awesome change!!! I'm with the girls, it is amazing the change in the look as well as the feel in a different style jeans. I actually found a few pair I like lately, now that I began looking at the larger junior sizes. They are not any smaller---dammit! Just a different cut, cut narrower through the hips. Someday the size will go doooown!

No call from the Dr today-----will call him tomorrow.

Phone will be back~~~

      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.
