hey if anyone was keeping track of tha list for july bandsters

make sure you put a check next to mine. Just got home one night in the hospital and feeling great

Platform shoes!! Great idea!! Especially since they measured me 1/2 inch shorter yesterday than two months ago!!! Did I have that much fat on top of my head??? Maybe on the soles of my feet???

anyway..... we're cruisin'!!

Auntie Phyll,

I sent the PowerPoint Before & After thingy to you. Let me know if you got it.

Have you all had a chance to look at it? (those who requested it) It just keeps me inspired.

Hello all my fellow lucky 7's !!!!!!

Sorry it took so long for me to give you some updates....I vowed to read all the missed posts !!!!! That only took me ONE day.

So today is day 4 post op and I'm finally feeling good. The first TWO days were killer !!! The "GAS" was horrendous !!!!! I was using the pain med just for the gas pains. The abdomen feels 'sore' but not bad really. I went for my follow up visit with the doctor today.... all bandages removed, sites healing well, and LOST 12 lbs !!!!! woooohoooo !!

I'm getting tired of the clear liquids.... can't wait to EAT mashed potatoes on Saturday !!!!

Missed you all..... good to be back !!!! :)

Now I need to work on a new ticker..... Snag

Yay!!! Snaggletooth. Glad to see you're back, too. Everyone's popping back in. That's what we love to see! :biggrin1:

No I haven't seen the power point, what is it ?

Just PM (private message) me w/your email address and I'll send you a little s'thing I put together. It's just a lot of before and afters from this site. A little encouragement and inspiration.

FYI...in case you don't know how to PM, just click on my name and select send private message. (not trying to insult your intelligence!)

Gimboree adn Lynette- I can't write but can read French, so no dirty little secrets!:omg: Just kidding of course... I do speak, read and write Portuguese and Spanish however, in case anybody wants to practice. I am originally from Brazil, and DH is from Boston, he brought me over 8 years ago when we were married. That was the reason why I gained weight to begin with, moving to a new country, starting new lifestyle ( marriedxsingle), being away from family, friends and all things familiar... now I am completely adapted to life in TX, but I still have 100 lbs hanging around to remind me of those tough times. They will soon be gone. :)

Lynette, I can't believe you are already well enough to go around cleaning the house. You are such a warrior! I am going to use this surgery as an excuse not do any housework for a long, long time... lol

      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.
