Katy: I am holding you up in prayer. God will see you through this. Know that HE will be guiding the surgeon.

Gee, I wish I lived closer to you, I'd love to be able to help you out.

God's Blessings,

Susan

Well gang - I gotta brag a bit this morning (for you who know me - you aren't to shocked at that :tt2:)

Guess what I did this morning - 5 freaking miles !!! in 1 hr 20 minutes... That is a personal best for me - the max miles I have ever done is 4 and that's rarely. But after my over indulgence last weekend while visiting Aunt - I really need to bump up the exercise to get the 1.5 left of the 3 I gained off..

I did the crime (had too many sweets) so now I have to do the time - cuz if I don't and I let a 3 lbs gain turn into 5 lbs gain then 10 lbs - I will end up back at 250 before you know it..

So that extra 2 miles I did this morning just shows me how strong I am - that I am now in control and even though I over indulged - I know what has to be done to compensate for it - it's wasn't the end of the world cuz I ate too many sweets - I don't now say oh I blew it - and continue to over indulge (and pple I want to continue eating sweets - I am not a superwoman with super control)

I just don't ever want to look like this before photo taken 5/06 - I rather look like the after photo taken 2/09... And the only way I am going to accomplish this is by eating healthy and exercising...

Wow...great photos, Janet. You are so beautiful. You truly are an inspiration to all of us.

Heading out for a date with DH tonight. dinner and then stop at our local bar and grill to cap the night off. Haven't seen a lot of my friends for over a month because we have been gone. Should be a fun night. We didn't do anything for Valentines Day cuz we were bushed and in some hotel in Orlando getting ready to fly out the next morning. I am thinking that lobster is in order. LOL....I'm worth it, aren't I?

Everyone have a great evening. Better hit the shower.

Hi,

I sure hope everyone is doing well and I am praying for Katy. That awful surgeon should be stopped doing lap band surgery.

I am doing well and now 5 weeks post op and have lost quite a bit of weight. Since the dehydration incident I have followed literally my doctor's and nutritionist orders. I am now enjoying soft foods.

I was given the go ahead and workout by my physician. I am working out on a cardio cruiser for 15 minutes a day at this time.

        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
