Thanks Maria, Loriely and Peaches. I KNOW I'm not drinking enough Water. So has anyone heard anything about artificial sweeteners and if they affect WL? I drink SF Kool-Aid and Crystal Lite every day, a couple of times a day. Do you take in a lot of artificial sweeteners and do you think they make any difference? I hope you're all feeling and doing well!

Buffie: Hi from BC. What does your doctor say. Maybe you have reached what should be the normal weight for a person of your height, bone structure, etc. I used to correspond with a TLBC patient from Saskatoon who worked at the hospital are you that person? Doddie

Hi Doddie, yes I do work at a hospital in S'toon. We corresponded a few times. You're doing GREAT!!!! Congratulations! I spoke at great lengths with my family doc yesterday about what my goal weight should be. She informed me that 160 is not likely going to work for me because of my body structure, she told me that 10 pounds more will be enough. So I'm setting my goal at 175 and if I hit 170 I'll be satisfied. At the rate I'm going now it'll take me 10 years to get there anyway! I went for a .1 cc fill Friday and I'm going for another one next week. I'm just not getting enough restriction at this point. Anyway, how have you been doing Doddie?

Today I haved turned 50. Wow, didn't see that coming. I wasn't really sure how I felt about this milestone but yesterday Kathy at TLBC asked me and I actually thought about it and realized that I am going into this new stage of my life very positively. I feel that good things are ahead. A healthy weight being a major part of that. I know I will only get better. I was so glad she asked me because I hadn't given it much thought.

Thank you everyone. I had a small piece of cake and almost choked to death so I will have to stick to the likes of cheesecake.. It seems to slide down easiest. Just had a birthday lunch and this evening another birthday dinner. Oh the things I must endure. he he he.

Congratulation, on your birthday and also on your decision to be banded. I also turned 50 this year and one of deciding factors for me is I do it now or never, this has been best year in a long time, I feel 10 years younger.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
