WTG Renewed! It's amazing how we cherish these little things that many people have never had to worry about. It makes the journey so special when things like that happen. Looks like the Couch to 5K is paying off!

silly me - i just realized this was a sept 07 thread i subscribed to...i'm just a few wks away:wink_smile: being banded in oct 07 ...

i think this is such a great thread, probably one of my fav!!!

today i got called tiny. i KNOW i'm short at 5'1 standing upright - but for a neighbor to tell me i'm so petite made me giggle from my toes to my nose...LOL

make no mistake - i got thighs for DAYS, and can be the best nut cracker for the holidays, but am thrilled they're getting solid vs swinging on their own, along w/the butt that could have qualified for it's own zip code.

congrats to everyone here, !!!

This has to be my most favorite thread on Lapband! I have smiled at each one of your achievments. Well done everyone.

I am still very much in the early stages of my weight loss but I have 3 NSV´s that I am proud of so far.

1. I can wear both my wedding band and engagement ring on my finger. Before I could barely wear the ring. (Although my "real" wedding ring is waiting patiently for me to get smaller so I can wear the real diamonds again.

2. I bought a pair of 3/4 jeans a few months ago and the waist was so tight I couldn´t do up the zip. They now fit and look so good, my DH was checking out my a$$ yesterday and loving the way it looked.

3. Another pair of jeans that I bought, I could fit into them but they were so uncomfortable that I didn´t wear them. They are now lose fitting.

I love these little achievements.

Today I was driving down the road and DS was sitting in the front passenger seat. He kept looking at me then he said, "Mom, I don't think that lapband thing was supposed to work so fast!" He said that I am officially 81% to being "hot". He is sooooo much like my DH. They both crack me up!!

      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.
