I wanna lose like 60 more... anyway and I have been a bad girl and not take my Vitamins and my hair.. OMG my hair so I am starting back taking vitamins and hopefully all my hair will not come out!!!

Hey, I'm still here. Next meeting is Nov 20th. A body-sculpturing surgeon is going to be there as guest speaker. Please come if possible. We had about five post-ops at this last meeting and Veronica is getting discouraged. All her volunteers that usually help her are not available and she needs some help.

I am 14 mos out and have lost 89 pounds. However, I seem to be stuck and not losing. I know I need to exercise more but I must be too lazy or something. I feel like I'm being punished when I have to exercise. I just hate it!!!

Take care and drop back in often.

I know what you mean about exercising, I keep saying I am gonna get up and do Wii in the morning but I cannot drag myself outta bed. Then tonight my husband is going to the track but I am too dern tired, after grocery store to get stuff for dinner, then coming home to kids with homework while fixing dinner, then I am just pooped!

I hope I can make it to the meeting on the 20th, what time does it start?

I am hoping to lose 60 more pounds, then have the big fat roll removed, I know that sounds gross! lol

Hey there! Long time no hear from you. Sorry to hear about your gall bladder but hope this surgery will help in the long run for you. I lost mine many many years ago when I was 20 years old. The darn thing just quit working! Not sure you should still be having heart burn unless you are having something else going on. If it doesn't clear up soon, seek advice again.

I'm doing pretty good. If my legs would get much better, I could start walking and the weight would come off faster but for now it's not going to happen. My GP says when I take more weight off, they should get better. I've lost 88-90 pounds depending on which scale I believe. Lisa says I'm ahead of the program and doing great. Right now, I'm on a plateau and it makes me feel somewhat depressed. However, I'll never give up entirely.

14 months without even one bite of cake, Cookies, candy, pie, Pasta, or bread! That's a record for me. Don't know how long I'll manage to keep this up but right now I'm too paranoid to try even a spoonful of anything sweet.

Take care. Hope you'll come to group on the 20th.:frown:

Thanks Lollymoe. Im going to try. i live in GA now but may try and stay in Bham that weekend with a friend. Glad to hear you are doing well. You'll get thru this plateau....I have had many many as a matter of fact I cant lose the weight I lost when he unfilled me when I was having gallbladder problems...BUT I am looking into purchasing an elliptical this week so I hope to get back on track and you will too keep up the GREAT work.

bandofhope I have about 7cc in a 10cc band. Good luck everyone!

Hate to see that this thread has just kinda fizzled out lol.

Hey Kaninag. Where in Ga are you now located? I married a Ga man, his family is still there and we have some very good friends there.

I too hate that this forum is dropping off. I miss "talking" to everyone. The meetings are having less and less post-ops show too. Veronica was somewhat discouraged last meeting.

Take care. Hope you can come to group after all.:eek:

      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.
