Well, I know I won't make it, and I'm not sure I'll be able to weigh Monday, but I'll try. I will likely GAIN by then. Guess I do need my first fill, but I don't WANT it!

I want to do as much as I can on my own, I lost about 40 lbs before the band, and another 30 or so since without a fill. I just really want to do as much as I can by myself (but have the band as a back up and for some help-I do feel *some* restriction). I also do NOT want to be limited in ANYTHING I want to eat. If I want some steak, I want to be able to have it, same for shrimp, tomatoes, grapes, oranges, chicken, whole grain bread (in moderation), brown rice, etc. I NEVER want to be unable to eat any of these foods. At this point I can still eat all of them (but I do have to chew chew chew well for some of them). If I want an omelette I don't want to be scared I'll get stuck or PB in a restaurant.

Silly, I know... The whole point was to ave the band for restriction, but the more that I read and learn (and I thought I had read and learned tons pre-band) about people's limitations with what they can and can't eat, the less I want a fill and to have my food choices restricted. I guess it's silly to not know. I suppose I should start getting fills and if I find I have problems with foods I want to eat (that aren't crap foods, I mean), then I can always get unfilled...?

Thank you, Christine! I know my fears may be totally unfounded. You are a shining example that they quite possibly are. My luck I won't be able to eat everything I want (you know what I mean), but as I said, I guess I could just get unfilled, right?

You rock!

We were on the same page about fills on another thread.....well I stopped losing weight and will power so I got my first fill (banded 5-21-07) and have spent 2 mornings this week barfing up eggbeaters....something I could eat before my first fill!!!! I am losing but I really like to eat breakfast and I guess I will have to drink breakfast from now on! I admire you for keeping it part you and part band!!! I did have salad for lunch today which I am happy that I can still eat! The slime/barf thing is horrible, glad I was home and not at a business lunch!

Keep up the good work.....I am going to be very close to making this challenge.....I might be there when TOM leaves!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
