I've "only" lost 1 pound, BUT I LOST ANOTHER 5.5 INCHES since last week. This time, there was no bonus edema inch loss!

And since I know the scale lies... Woot!

Hi Birdie - Welcome!

Yes, June 1 is the deadline! Basically - you can give yourself any goal you want.

We try to 'report' in on Monday's, but sometimes people work and need to give their reports sooner or later.

Good luck.

194 this morning. -1 for me this week.

204.5 for me today on my new Tanita scale. I can't wait to cross over to Onederland!

Doh! Awesome job Zoe... I guess I'll need to hit the gym this week pretty hard =) I did FINALLY have a losing week. My band is nice and tight, finally, after my second fill. I lost 5 lbs, and am down to 317. I'm expecting to hit 299 in 3 weeks Zoe... so keep at it =)

I posted earlier that I had weighed on the hotel scale and it showed I was 239 well I reweighed myself on that same scale it is showing me at 250 lbs now. SIGH!! I asked if the scales were calibrated and they said they hadn't been in a long long time. So they calibrated them. Now I have gained 10lbs. YIKES!!!!!!!!

I hate this. It is awful. I hate this. I hate this. My clothes are not fitting any tighter and I don't feel any different. So I don't really know if this scale is accurate either.

I know I am not eating right.

Eating too much junk that is for sure.

Have bruised the bottom of my left foot and can't really walk as much till that heals.

I just bought a 20 min Pilates dvd to use on my laptop so that will help me get re-focused.

I can stop eating the junk stuff.

I can drink more Water.

I am not going to let all the issues with my mom, with the death of my son in laws girlfriends, and any other emotional issues keep me from losing the battle on weight. I have to fight this every single day. I have to get stronger and be more diligent.

Stay strong guys!!

No weight loss for me this week,no gai neither .. Started my monthly cycle last night.

Penni, you are under alot of stress, stress can do strange things, you are also living out of a suitcase and a hotel, do'nt fret, once you are home and back to normal and your normal routine things will be good. Hang in there Penni.

Congratulations to all of you loser's this week, awesome job!

        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!

      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
