Congratulations Boo Boo Kitty! You look so beautiful!!!!

You are a real inspiration -- especially since you and I share the same Band month (except I was banded one year later).

I can tell from your posts that you are an incredibly sweet person and I wish you all the very best!!!

Fondly,

Frangi

That's awesome BBK! We started out at almost the same weight and now I have some hope that I will make it to goal. Thanks for posting this. Do you strictly stick to doing the bike and treadmil or do you change it up? What about lifting weights?

Thanks everyone!

Georgia--I also do 1/2 hour of weights. I switch that between legs and upper body. That has given me my killer legs, now if it could just work on the arms! :confused:

I basically stay with the bike or treadmill. I once and awhile do the stairstepper, but not my favorite. Elipitcal usually once a week.

woohooo Booboo Kitty!!! That is so awesome for you :confused:

I'm with Julie with that last 35#. Any tips, secrets you can share would be greatly appreciated. I am going to set up another fill. Even though I struggle with Breakfast I can eat too much the rest of the day. I'll just have to drink Protein shakes for Breakfast.< /p>

The doubt does start to creep in about whether or not I can make it all the way so I truly thank you for your post of encouragement!!

You LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Congratulations Boo Boo Kitty, that is awesome!!!!!

You have done a fantastic job. I think I'm going to follow your lead since I've had my band for 5 years and only need to lose my last 20 lbs. The only exercise I will do consistently is bike, treadmill, or walking, that is how I went from 199 to 168 in 3 months. Because you have inspired me I will start tomorrow morning.

Congratulations.

Ana

      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.

      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.
