Ok this is my first post. I was banded Decemebr 15th, 2.5 days ago. Still a little sore but so far not to bad. The physical part is easy, it is the mental part Im struggling with. I love to eat and not being able to is tough. Ill make it, we will all make it. Lets hold each other to that!!!

I am in New York City, that photo was in Dutchess County, about 100 miles north of the city when I went Apple picking with my friends. Its really pretty out of the city.

Wow Crisanne, I love your hair!

Thanks for the hair compliment. I have been growing it out for 3 years, and the color is from the sun in the summer here in the city. I am so worried that I am going to lose it a few months into the band. I didn't like it in the photo, so thanks so much again.;)

This picture was taken a few days before my surgery. I hope I learn some better poses when I lose weight. Looking forward to posting some after pictures.

Good Luck to all.

ChrisAnn - I see a Mets bag in the picture. Are you a fan? I am a big Mets fan. I live in New Jersey. Are you in the NYC metro area?

I live in Brooklyn, NY, NYC. I have a ticket plan with the Mets, but with the increase this year, and the doubt they will offer me the same package in the new stadium, this may be my last year. Had the seats for 10 years now.

This is me and my dog at Dogs Day at Shea in September.

Hi All,

Please add me the the "MERRY LOSERS" Just got my date: 12/26/2007.

Yes, Yes, Yes I know its the day after X-mas. I've eaten enough

X-Mas dinners, right???

I just want to say a big "Thank You" to everyone here. You have given me so much knowledge and information, not to mention HOPE. I know this is right for me and that I CAN do it. I look forward to getting to know you and travel this road together.

I have very supportive family/friends and look forward to starting my new life next Wednesday.:omg: But there are somethings they just don't or can't understand. That's where ya'll come in.

Anyone out there from Louisiana?? I'm from a town just West of New Orleans. Surgery at Ochsner Hospital with Dr. W. Richardson.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My before pic was taken on Thanksgiving Day at my sons Engagement Party in Las Vegas wahooooo!

(I know this pic is too big, I don't know how to resize)

How 'bout dem Saints???

Don't get me started on the food down here! That's why I am the size I am. I also love to cook and I'm good at it.ahahhaha

Jambalaya, Gumbo, smothered anything!!!!!!!

I must stop the madness.

My husband came home this weekend with a KING CAKE.. Good lord, Mardi Gras is 2 months away:eek: Ours lives revolve around food. Catching it (big fishermen/hunters), cooking it, eating it, eating it, eating it.

How is you family dealing with your decision to have the band?

      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.
