Update: I didn't make it all. I had a plateau that is just now moving. We won't discuss all the chocolate and Desserts that have been floating around :)

Congratulations to all that made your goal!! As for the rest of us, we deserve congratulations as well for taking the steps to a healthier life - it's just not reflected as well on the scale as we would like!! :(

Gweniper:

Congrats for making your goal.

Update - I didn't reach my short term goal of 230, but I'm at 231.6, close enough for me. Next challenge - losing 100 by 1/26/08 my 6 month bandiversary.

Congratulations to all of you that met and exceeded your goals. And to those of us who didn't, keep on plugging away. Think of it positively. I'm positive that I gained ten pounds during the Holiday season of 2006, this year I actually lost.

Here's to seeing less of all of you in 2008!

Sue thank you

I usually don't use my home scale as we weigh at the docs office for official but 2 days in a row it read 215 so I used it. now I will wait until thursday to update my ticker as I see the doc then. hopefully it is still 215.

Good luck with you goals. my next one is to be 192 by March 8. !00 pounds lighter than last march when they started me on metaformin for pcos and pre-diabetes

So My goal was 197 pounds (12 pound loss) and I made it for a day, then up a pound then down 2 pounds then up 3 pounds... Cramps and everything else tell me my body is doing just what it is supposed to. Trying not to let that number have more power than necessary. It is what it is, right! perfect.

You guys are great. I missed being on the board while I was out of town so much. It is incredible to me how much a difference in my sense of "support" it makes to just read this board.

Not being on the board feels just like "Isolating" with food used to. Yucky! I think I will take my laptop with me from now on. Doing this "alone" is, well, lonely!

Thanks for you guys in the world....

I missed my goal by .7 lb but happy with the result anyway, especially considering the holidays and all that food. Congratulations to everyone who made it and to everyone who could have... we just need to be congratulated for getting the band and changing our lives.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
