I am up for giving an update. I have lost 31.5 pounds. For weeks there was nothing, and now I have started to lose again. I had to make some changes to get the weight loss going again. I started exercising (cardio/toning), increased Protein, and increased Water intake.

Banded 10/12 ..so far I've lost 36.5 pounds. I am looking forward to my first fill on 11/27 as I feel constantly hungry. I'm trying to stick to a 1000 calorie a day diet til then (which is hard when you have no restriction).

In one more pound, I will have lost 1/4 of the weight I need to make my final goal! woohooo hoooo!

Well I've lost almost 30, but half that was during the pre-op diet. Blah. I have been exercising really hard, but the eating part's not going as great. I am finding myself making stupid decisions again -- got to STOP that!! I get a fill in a couple weeks...YAY!!! :) You guys are all doing great, so congrat!!

My lapband surgery was on October 8, and I want to be a tenacious ten. Can I be a part of your group? I would love to get a little motivation as I am struggling a little bit. I am not sure why; I feel that I am following all the rules.

By the way, I love the name! I want to be tenacious!

Hi to all the Tenacious Tens,

I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This time next year we'll all be comparing fabulous before and after pictures so that's something to aim for - no pressure of course!! Don't forget to take a Christmas Day 2007 photo to compare with Christmas 2008 - should be fun!

Have a wonderful holiday (if you're not working) and enjoy your friends and family.

Very best wishes, Jude.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
