Wombat, you're doing GREAT! Hang in there, plateaus don't last forever...it only SEEMS that way! ;)

I was getting really close to my goal of 208, so I moved it to 205...

Funny thing, I was only hoping to maintain over the holidays...I've been indulging in some holiday sweets...I went to the doc yesterday and STILL lost 6.5 pounds in 4 weeks! I LOVE my band!!!!!!!!

Thanks MM!! I know a lot of it is the stress at work and I haven't made the best choices. Exercise is not an option with the long days I'm putting in so I've got to get my diet back in order!!! I moved all of 0.2; but thank God it's in the right direction ;)

:clap2:So FINALLY - broke into the 170's. Had a feeling the second fill would start things going after all the cardio I've been doing, but it might be the chunk of "thick auburn wavy hair" that got chopped today. 14 inches going to "Locks of Luv" , I feel lighter -

My Dr is more aggressive that some I see here, Have my 3rd fill scheduled the day after XMas, Might not need it .... Not hungry at all!

Good Luck All~

Thank you all. I got to say, this has been the easiest time for me since I got the surgery. Maybe I have finally found the sweet spot. I am hardly hungry anymore, and when I do eat, I get full fast, and stay full for many hours. It is about time. After more that 6 months, and over 8cc's, I was beginning to think that it would never work for me.

      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.
