Good one, Zoe!!! You know, actually since I've lost some weight, I'm getting chilled at times (for the first time in YEARS)! A nice change! :cool:

You can do it. You will do it.

Heck if you weigh yourself every thirty minutes you're probably in Onederland at some point of the day.

WooooHooooo

You go girl!

And for real, I was so frustrated in those months after my surgery when I wasn't losing anything. I was convinced the band just wouldn't work for me. And then I got yet another fill and suddenly it was like, holy cow! I'm losing weight! And the more weight I lost, the more I wanted to workout and be active, and that always helps too. So definitely do not be discouraged about being a "slow loser"!!

That is so great to hear Marie, I'm 23 too and would love to know what "hot" is like! Also, thanks for sharing you are a great inspiration to me, to know I can get there someday too! Best of luck, hope to talk to you soon!

LOL @ hot but not flashes!

Surely we can say them in one sentence and have them mean something sexy... right???

Congratulations Marie, You DO deserve to be young and hot and feeling good, You're really doing great, so what ever you are doing, keep doing it!

I'm a slower loser too Kim, I'm down 16 pounds, but seem to be stuck now for the last two weeks. I feel some restriction, and am eating way less, but like you I can eat anything I try as long as I chew well and eat slow... I'm comforted by the idea that it can drop off later too.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
