i am staying on plan today because ...



Recommended Posts

I'm a yoyo dieter. I've lost 100 pds three times in my life and got down to goal each time which is 125 (weight watchers, Atkins and phen fen-which I got a heart problem from). I can stay on track until some bad happens in my life then I don't care anymore and I gain all the weight back. I'm wondering if they will happen with the lap band. Will I get to a point where I don't care anymore and just eat high calorie foods? Does this band ONLY help with Portion Control? Donuts, Cookies and cakes take up very little room but are so calorie packed. Once I can get that question answered I'm going to make the lap band decision. I would LOVE for anyone and everyone to help shed some light on that for me.

thanks so much!:confused2:

I am staying on plan today because, I went to get my oil changed and didnt have to get out of the car to bend over to pull the latch to open the hood. Yahoo That is a NS victory for me!! Plus my belly is getting further away from the steering wheel. Sixty one pounds gone!!

I'm staying on plan today because I have lost and gained the same darn 6 lbs for the last six weeks.:) I feel so great for loosing some of my weight but at the same time am very frustrated at my slowness. I think I need to commit to exersize, I am commited to my diet, so now if I incorperate movement it has just got to work. I promise to use the treadmill for a full 30 minutes after work tonight:scared2:.

I'm staying on plan today because every day I wake up wanting to eat crap (chips, cake, pizza, etc) and if I gave into it I'd weigh 340 lbs again

I'm sure it's just that the nasty virus you had got your body out of whack or something. I'll bet it falls off really soon. Glad you are feeling better.

Probably just a little dehydration. You'll be back to normal in no time :biggrin:

I am staying on plan today because I weigh in at my surgeon. I might get a tiny fill not sure yet.

        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
