Happy New Year! I tried adding myself to the list, but it didn't turn out quite right. Sorry! I am glad to see everyone is hanging in there. I am moving along, slower than I had imagined, but progressing none the less. I am glad the holidays are behind us, even though it was a great holiday season. I like the idea of weighing in every week. We will be celebrating our bandaversaries before we know it. I have an appointment to see my doctor on Wednesday. I am hoping for another fill!

Enjoy the weekend!

The way it works is you copy the WHOLE list from the last person who posted an update, update or insert your own line (alphabetical order by your username) by copying another person's line, then post the WHOLE updated list for the next person to update. Please be sure you follow this instruction or else we'll find we accidentally drop someone off. I'll try to keep an eye on things to be sure we're okay. Also, adjust the spacing on your line with the .... so the numbers stay lined up if you can.

I was so disappointed in myself to see a 3-4 lb gain over the holiday week but I'm also wondering about how much hungrier I am feeling with the extra exercising I'm doing and maybe some of the exercising is causing muscle/water gain too? Just need to tough it out and be proud I went to the gym so far on 12/28, 12/30, 1/2, 1/3, and have plans to go tomorrow so I'm doing well sticking to the more exercise part of my commitment.

Nice straightening!

Also: since many of us have been decidedly naughty, we now have Water weight to lose. And what goes on easy....

I hope we'll see some nice drops come Friday!

Water WEIGHT, yeah....that's the ticket!!

Actually, I'm guessing a lot of it is....I swear, I've eaten more ham in the last two weeks than I have in the last two year....and I don't even really like it!

Thanks Special K for fixing our little chart. I can't stand to see it out of alignment. My typing teacher would have died. LOL You may have to delete some of the little dots so it doesn't wrap around when we add our change.

I am seriously looking forward to starting tomorrow back on track.....I have found myself doing a bit of the "last supper" crap again today.....stocked up on soy milk and just ordered some more Unjury, this few days on liquids will deplete my current supply.

I'm calling first thing tomorrow for an appointment, too!@!

2009 is the year I make goal for the first time in my life!

WOO HOO!

I've been on a bit of a binge the past two days. It's so weird...eating everything in sight...I will get in control tomorrow. I must get back in control.

It's just so weird how I can eat everything right now and not even 2 full weeks ago I was struggling to eat more than a bite of anything at a time without feeling pain for hours.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
