Hi everyone my name is Janice and I glad to be here. I have been looking for this type of support group for a while now and finally.... here I am!!! I was banned on March 3, 2007 in Virginia. I have had 2 fills now and is very frustrated to report that I have lost only 22 pounds. I guess that is good because I have never lost that much at one time but the other part is I think that I should be so much further along. I work out and eat properly, (at least the best I know how). I am glad to be here to get support, support others and gain a better insight to what I am feeling-- especially from those who have been in my shoes. I am open to all the :help:, and :clap2: that your are willing to offer. In advance, thank you!!!

Janice

Congrats on your loss! I don't think 22 lbs is a small amount. I think slow but steady might be the best way to go. I'm sure when you have reached your goal, you will think back and smile. Hang in there. I'm still waiting...........

Protien shake in the am. Luch may consist of 1 yougurt lite n lively 60 calories. Sometimes I put sugar free ggranola in it. Stick of low fat string cheese or hard boiled egg only the white. Sugar free pudding or Jello. Sometimes a small pear, etc. Dinner-fish, chicken or anything by bocca . Tonight I had the bocca chille 160 calories a small salad with the spray on dressing 1 calorie per spray. I keep boiled cabbage and try to eat with vinegar on it so that it fills me that is a free food no calories in it. I love how I feel and look and each day is a new begining for me.

      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.
