Yeah, I second that!!

Anyway, How are you doing? Your loss is amazing.

How are you doing as far a fills?

I'm at 4.25cc in a 4cc band.

Hoping that the band will have enough room in it for my lifetime.

So what about you?

My ticker is almost accurate--- Ive been playing with the same 2 - 3 pounds in either direction. (hoping this last fill helps)

My ticker is also accurate. I am doing pretty well. I put on about 10 over the hliday but I have gotten it all off now. I am at 2.75cc I think. I had a bit more but had to get a slight unfil due to barfing all the time.

I am doing pretty well though. Working hard, trying to stick with it so thank you for the compliment. What have you been up to?

Today was a good day for me, I try really hard to make healthy choices. (the kids junk food gets the better of me sometimes, that goodness I cant eat that much of it!!)

It is a slow process but I wouldn't change a thing...........there is no way in hell that I would have lost and kept off 60lbs without my band!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm officially laughing my ass off. Leave it to Babygrl to start a thread titled "ugh" to get us started!

I always see us Feb '07 bandsters all over the board, but rarely ever are we talking to each other specifically.

I have had some issues. Last May, my dad died. I had just had a fill, so I was TIGHT from the stress. Not overly so, that I was having problems, but just enough so that I started lapsing into the bad habit of eating "easy" food, ice cream, chips/dip, even indulging in candy bars and crap every day.

By the time my restriction loosened up some, I had really gotten lax about my eating and working out. So much so, that I was down to my lowest weight of 222, held there awhile, and then started creeping up. I finally stopped that upswing of the scale last Friday, when I went in for another fill, and re-dedicated myself to counting calories and exercising. I was back up to 237 on Friday morning, and this morning, I was back down to 231.

I am at a current fill level of 1.75cc's in a 4cc band. I have nice restriction right now, and I hope it lasts!

Anyhow, that's what I've been up to, what about everyone else??

Kelly you are a friggin rock star!!!!!! The holidays kicked my ass or I might actually be close to 100 down. I gained about 10 in December but I did manage to get that all of in January and then some. When has that ever happened before? Uhhh never.

RTL I have pretty much banned junk food in the house. The kids have been snacking on yogurt, fruit, Peanut Butter crackers, raisins, etc. I also stopped eating sugar about 3 weeks ago. All sugar, which has been a bit of a pain because you know that everything has high fructose corn Syrup in it. But I had to kick the habit. I ate like a 1 pound bag of m&ms and pretty much disgusted myself.

TG again sorry about your Dad. I can't imagine having to go through a time like that especially so soon after such a drastic life change withyour band. Good for you getting out and getting started again. The hardest part is getting starting, once you get going it is easy to maintain.

Yes KHolmes...how is Dawson? Hee Hee.

You guys are doing so great! I am guilty of not coming back to the 2/07 banders threads. At some point there were so many of us it was hard to keep track of everybody. That's a good thing though, isn't it? That so many people are being happily banded? Good for us!

        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
