Recommended Posts

OK....I just got up the guts to post my BEFORE and NOW pics.......and in a swim suit!! YIKES! I was banded July 17, 07. I have lost 45 pounds. I didn't really notice a difference in how I look until recently. People are starting to comment on how much I have lost. I plan to loose 45-50 more!! Just wanted to share!!!

Gladster, you are looking GREAT! I started noticing a big change after the first 20 pounds, but it seems no one else did, and when I hit 35 I really saw a diference and STILL was only get occasional comments. However, in the last three weeks, EVERYONE has noticed a difference (I'm at 50 now) and it's not just "a difference", it's a "WOW!" difference! Actually there seems to be a point when the POUNDS start to slow down a little and the INCHES start to fall of, and that's when people started to stop me in the hallway and go WOW. You've done a phenominal job! Keep it up!

You look great! I can see the loss all over your body! Thanks for posting them...I started at the same weight and had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez, too, so it's cool to see what I might look like when I lose some more!

Keep up the good work!

:whoo:

        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
