Y'all look fabulous!! I'm traveling for work this week so I'll look into figuring out how to post some pics when I get home. I'm not quite at 3 months and I totally hate having my picture taken.

I already feel the pain of just thinking of posting it ;)

Oh my goodness! Y'all are so sweet! Keep it coming! LOL (Just kidding!)

Seriously, everyone here is doing so well from what I can tell. Eating habits are changed/changing, some feel restriction and some don't/some are losing lots and some are losing littles. LOL The main thing is that habits are changing! Lord knows everyone is SHOCKED that I am watching what I eat and excercising...two things I NEVER did before in my LIFE!

The band is frustrating, to be certain...and we all fall off the horse once in a while (for me, it was tonight at CiCi's Pizza!). I think all that is par for the course on this journey we have chosen. Tears and frustration are part of the package, unfortunately. But they are not ever as bad as they feel at the moment we experience them!

I'm so glad I've found this place! I have learned SO MUCH from you folks! Can you imagine all those bandsters out there that don't even know places like this exist, and are doing this all on their own? What a horrifying thought, huh?

STef, I can't imagine what I'd do without this board! I found it on a Google searchin early May when I was just trying to find pros/cons of the band from "real" people. LBT is what sealed the deal for me!!

If this works this is a picture of my whole family from about a year ago. When I get batteries for my camera I will take a this year pic. I am not a great fan of getting my pic taking, but I will do it for my band friends.

Stefanie--I am so proud of you. You give me encouragement.

And no, I could not imagine going this alone. I have found so many people in the same boat that I am in. I thought I was the only one that hated to have my picture taken. Well, I see that most of us felt that way.

I have only had my band since August 27th; too early for before and after pictures. I am afraid my before would look the same as the after for now. But that will change. Keep up the good work.

CLARAMAE - Thank you! My memory may be failing me here, but I don't recall seeing you on here before, so WELCOME! Please stick around! Even though you were banded in August, you can be a "JUNIE" too! JUNIES ROCK! Good luck on your journey, and come here often...especially if you are down and don't feel like it, because that is when you need us the most. Right now I'm struggling through my first bad patch...weight not dropping much at all. But I keep coming in and seeing what is going on...helping where I can and asking for help, too. There are some great folks here and everyone is always willing to lend a shoulder, some advice, or a butt-kicking if it's needed! LOL

Glad to see you here! welcome2-1.gif

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And to everyone here...have a great weekend!

Stephanie--I have been lurking about this site for some time. Just became active in August. It is a great site for information, support or just gabbing with others. I got my band on August 27th and again on the 29th. It slipped due to trama from hernia surgery. So, my day surgery turned out 5 day surgery!!!! But doing ok now.

OK...I think I got this figured out...at least I hope.

The pic of me sitting on the couch was this past christmas, 285-ish.

The pic of me standing is tonight.

        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
