Sooo happy just weighed this morning and I am down 29 pounds.. Woohoo

I have done so good staying out of the kids candy. :)

You go girl! I am SO jealous! LOL - I'm only down about 26.5 and I gained 2 lbs over the Christmas holidays! BUT - I have been given a treadmill (to borrow - my moms)....so I started walking on it this morning. Good way to wake up! I was on that thing for about 3 minutes and then I got off. I was already out of breath! That's pitiful!

Anyways~~ Ya'll have a great day! I will talk to you soon!

~~Happy New Year!!!!~~

Hello everyone. I haven't posted or checked-in for over a month now.My weight loss is slow compared to some but hey at least I am not gaining!

So far I have has 3 fills; Dr. Schmitt gave me the first two with 3 and 2 ccs respectively. I assume that it was Lisa that gave me my last one of .5cc-I wanted more. So now I have a total of 5.5ccs in my 9cc band.

I just wanted to check in and wish everyone a Happy New Year!

My weight loss is slow as well...but like you I am thankful that I am not gaining. I am however TORN...I cant decide if I should get another fill or not.....Sometimes I feel like I can eat and eat and eat but like today it took me forever to be able to get down a 1/2cup of soup...of course it is TOM and I hear the band is tighter for some then....Any thoughts I just dont want to start throwing up again and a lot lately when I eat lunch my food HURTS going down...I guess Im not chewing good I have an appt for 1/5 for a fill but Im thinking about canceling it.

Guys, I go for my 2nd fill on Jan 13th and I can't wait. I have no restriction what so ever and I SO over did it tonight. We had pizza and I ate 1.5 slices of cheese pizza and 4 chicken wings. Needless to say I went WAY over my calories and carbs. I guess the good thing is that I can always start over tomorrow. I weighted tonight and it wasn't pretty! LOL....I don't know what to do guys - I feel so bad. I weighted 221 Sunday morning and now this evening I'm weighing 227! GEESH! I guess it's not good to weigh at night....

You guys give me hope! I love reading that you didn't gain or that you only gained a pound or two. I love reading that you had the ability to abstain from the "kid's candy". When I went to holiday parties, I'm usually the largest person there but it didn't bother me so much this year because I knew I might not be the largest person there next year. The funny thing is that my sister (who I don't see very often) looked at my plate and asked me if I were dieting. I didn't fill it up like I usually do because I knew if I was still hungry I could go back. I told her no and couldn't help but wonder what she would think next year when I had even less on my plate :0). Guess I'll have to 'fess up then. I haven't told anyone in my extended family yet. I expect the most resistance to come from my dad. He had a friend who died from complications from Gastric Bypass. So, I'm waiting until everything has been approved. Everyone have a Happy New Year! I'm looking to a quiet evening at home....away from high school basketball games!

You are still doing good April don't be too hard on yourself. I remember when I could polish off half a pizza, now I can eat 2 small thin crust slices or 1 regular crust. Big difference. I remember going to taco bell and my order would be 2 tacos, 2 burritos and a mexi melt! Now I get a pintos and cheese and a taco. Also try and use the small plate when fixing your plate - it really does work. I clean off a small plate of food and feel like I have overdone it. Then I think about how that would look on a normal size plate and I probably ate half as much. Its gradual, but just keep working on it. It will get better.

Kani - Are your fills still covered by insurance? If not can you call and ask them what they think instead of having to go in? I have an appt on January 12, but with this new job, I hate having to ask to leave early, so I might wait another couple of weeks.

I did go to the Dr. yesterday, it was the lowest I have ever weighed since I have been seeing her (over 7 years). She gave me a shot and some narcotic cough Syrup. That is the good thing about the band, you have an excuse for not getting pills...LOL! I feel 1000 times better today.

Hope everyone is doing well and having a good New Year!

Weight loss slowing is an understatement...lol its like stopped all together..yet again. I knew this would be difficult as I have always suspected that I have the metabolism of a rock..lol.

Yes my fills are stilled covered by my insurance...as far as I know they always will be. but my docs office overcharged me so they owe me money anyway..lol. Ill just have a copay once they no longer owe me money. Im gonna go just bc Im not losing and I feel like I can eat things that I really shouldnt be ABLE to eat and we'll see how it goes....Ill just get unfilled if it becomes a prob...besides I have a new goal for JULY and if I want to be on the beach :) I gotta get this wt off :)

      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.
