So, I had my last fill three weeks ago. It's been an interesting ride since then, but I'm finally down to 152.6 from 159.6 (I think it's what it was) when I h the fill. food very restricted. I need to make sure I'm getting enough Protein (I need to do better), but I am pretty much never hungry. I've also been taking steroid pills after having a steroid shot for my poison ivy. I don't know if that could be causing some of that huge loss this week, but I don't care. I'll just keep it off!

My only issue with this last fill, is that I seem to feel the band all the time and it's a tad uncomfortable at times. But, I am dealing with it, because of how great my food restriction is. And the weight is coming off again finally. I'm at a weight I haven't been in 19 years and I haven't been able to say that in a long time. I am 3 lbs from my next mini goal and now just about 25 from my goal. I can't believe it. Could it really be true that I can get to it after being banded almost 4 years ago?

Alright, well that's all for now. Off to work I go. I hope everyone is doing well and if you've been slow at lost like me, don't give up on it. :)

How do you feel the band? What does that mean?

2muchfun, I mean that it feels like I feel it all the time; It feels tight. food is getting through it though, so I guess it's not too tight. It has not been too difficult getting used to the restriction this time. I just know I can only eat way less.

On this initial post, I thought I was 25lbs from goal. I went a little overboard. It's 37lbs. Not bad. I can deal with that, because I've said that goal weight was just that and that if I feel good at say 10lbs more than that, I'll be happy.

      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. 🤞
