I wanted to jump in here and introduce myself. I was banded February of this year and I have been more of a "reader" than a "poster" on this site.

I want to reply to Kat's fears of people viewing her profile. I am guilty!! This is a wonderful site and I appreciate being able to log on and read other's experiences and follow other bandsters through their journey.

There are several people on here that I find positive and motivating and I like to read their replies. Kat, you are one of them! I would bet I am not the only one who feels that way and maybe that explains all the "visits".

I like to read this thread as well...you guys have a pretty amazing group here. I have laughed out loud many times reading what you ladies write.

Good luck to you all on your weight loss journey!

Angela

LOL! We're like a funny blog I bet, from the outside looking in. Bunch of crazy ladies!!! (Not me of course)

I had McAllister's for lunch.. last time we went it was absolutely horrible. This time I tried their chicken cordon bleu (not battered or fried), and it was WONDERFUL. I got steamed veggies with it, and those (non-seasoned or salted) were really freaking good too. I was really surprised, I doubted I'd like the veggies. Need that fill like nobody's business, I ate most of the cordon bleu and 1/2 of the veggies. scale stopped budging. Blah blah, fill please!!!!!

I wish i got the extra fill last time too - but self control is what i'm going to have to do. I would like to get one on my next visit in May right before our trip or now... so i'll be regular at the time of our trip

My surgeon sent me a letter the other day, I sent him lab work (he gave me forms to get it done every 3 months, I just always forgot) when I was doing it for the whacky drugs.. and they said everything looks good, Iron, hebagoblin hemostat (blah blah?), and he said "it looks like you're doing good at getting your Protein in". AH HUH! And I don't even use shakes. Preen.

WOW!! I just had to move 60lb box of white tiger beanie babies from my office to accounting. I thought I was going to die, and I dropped it a couple times.

And that's just 60lbs.. I lost 100lbs. Holy crapola.

Thanks Kat~

I am less nervous now. The lady just sounded so ominous. It won't be bad. Susanne is off this week, but can probably be here next week on Friday. You are right...I am and will be sooo glad when this is over. Tracy, what I meant was as I was on phone w/ lady...I could feel I was getting my period (for today) again. Anyway...it is not easy to be out this time of year...but I am sure they will survive w/o me.

Ohh, I didn't get what you were saying either. I googled your procedure since I didn't know what you were talking about.

GOOD LUCK!!! Recover quickly, and make Susanne baby you!!

Hi Angela,

Thank you very much for the nice things you had to say---just could not figure out why anyone would want to go looking at my stuff!!! LOL

Yeah, you will figure out we have some off the wall discussions, but if you need support---------this is the group to give it! I love these ladies!

So....if we make you laugh out loud, surely there are times you want to throw in your own 2 cents worth-------hang out and do so----!!! Welcome!

Jenn feel better.

Suzanne......hope you enjoy your buzz!!!!

I know Laura, can you imagine walking around carrying that everyday??? It truly amazes me.

I am off to the store.....Was going to go earlier, but Kinsey and I ended up in the back yard playing instead!!! She is headed home now, so I will go alone!

      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.
