My best friend and I are 9 days post op. We will not be filled until June 27. We may soon find that we are able to eat like two little happy hogs! To keep ourselves on track until those fills, we are joining the challenge!

OK, my scales were down this morning. I'm not even going to count it until tommorow morning. I have to make sure it lasts. I have been stuck for so long I couldn't believe that I showed a loss.

To be continued..............

I've been absolutely horrible this past week. I'm in bandster hell right now waiting for my first fill. My appetite has been ravenous! I have got to get to exercising and watching my portions. Ugghh!! I'm so disappointed in myself right now. I'm afraid to weigh - I have a feeling I've gained.

Leslie, DOn't be so hard on yourslelf. Bandster hell is just that, HELL!!! When I was in bandster hell I remember thinking, "This works for everyone else, but it just isn't working for me. Those fears of this being "another failure" kept creeeping in. Don't entertain those thoughts. It does get better. Much better!! Just keep pressing on. You will reach your goal!!!!

I was supposed to go for a fill tommorow, but they called today and my doc is sick. Bummer. I really think I need another fill.

They don't have anyone else that does fills? That's gotta suck! When was your last fill?

We have an obesity treatment center that does the fills. There are a couple of people that do them there. My doctor also does them in his office, so I guess I can count myself lucky. Were you able to reschedule?

        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
