I hit ONDERLAND today!!! :cursing:

I also got that much needed unfill. The doctor took out a 1/2cc. Boy, do I feel better already. I have lost 11 pounds in the last 3 weeks because I was so tight. Before the fill I was on a 7 week plateau. I am glad the scales are moving, but I do not want to be that tight again.

The nutritionist said that when I lose 15 more pounds I will no longer be obese. That sounds wonderful.

WTG, congratulations

I am still at the same place I was 3 weeks ago. this plateau is a killer, the same 1 or 2 pounds up and down. Am restarting my food jpournal and hopew that gives my weight loss a boost.

I go back to the DR on 12/30 so who knows if I will get a fill or not. I still think I am at a good place as far as restriction, but not losing the weight.

Yay, SUgar! We'll really have to start popping the champagne when you hit the "Overweight" category!

Lynn, good on you for getting back to journaling!

I'm doing OK here. My diet hasn't been v. healthy, but hasn't been bad calorie-wise, and I've been v. active. The problem is that I go online at free WiFi places - McDonald's and an ice cream parlour - so the options have been a bit tricky... But I'm doing OK. I think.

I have 13 more pounds to lose till I'll no longer be obese. Last time I was in the only overweight category I was 18-19 years old, and now I'm 45. Funny how we are happy to be only overweight.

Does Paris have libraries? A library should have internet.

Anyways being aware of food choices is a big part of the battle. Mindless eating is what will kill you. This I know from the last few days.

Scrappy - what a transformation. I bet you feel great.

I took my weight loss scrap book to school today. My before and after pictures look so different. I know we are the same people and we look similar, but wow, how different we look.

Wow, Scrappy! Nice work! I think you also have to update your tag line - you're MUCH more than half way there!

The internet in my apartment will be activated in a week or so. McDonald's isn't that much of a threat, really - there's not much I want to eat here, so no real temptation. I eat the meat and vegetables in an "M" burger (a French McDonald's take on a burger, with good meat, aged Swiss cheese, special roll), and quarter of the bun. At Breakfast, I eat their meager Egg McMuffin, leaving one of the rolls.

The ice cream parlour is more of a threat, but I have to go there, because their connection is more open, and I can download my favourite US TV programs as I miss them. I have one scoop of ice cream or sorbet, and it's manageable.

And that's my menu for the day - late Breakfast, early dinner, scoop of ice cream.

And I'm being v. active - walked almost six miles yesterday. I know I'm losing weight - my clothes are rapidly becoming loose, my pants are threatening to fall off, and my belt is always needing to be tightened another notch.

So I'm in the zone.

Way to go Fenton. By the time you meet that new lady you will have to buy new pants, you wouldn't want your pants to fall off your body when you meet.

        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
