Recommended Posts

well...i hadn't been on here for a while. its nice to see you all again and doing wonderfully! i have to get back on my path. i did reach one major lifetime goal, i was able to get pregnant and have my special little guy. i revised my goal to 185 from 150<- i think that used to be it?? when i was weighing 208, i was at a size 16 i was okay with that but i knew that loosing 20-30more lbs was going to be "it" for me.

im so jealous of you all!!!! LOL! keep it up!!!! :smile:

Here's my update since my last entry back in June. I got back up to 185 by October. Then my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. I decided to get another fill since i was able to down 2cups with no regrets. Had total of 7.5cc in my 10cc band. Things got hectic with my dad beginning his treatments that I didn't take time to notice my band was too tight. I had hard time getting fluids down. Had lots of heartburn, chest pain, and vomitting. My dad was put in hosp last week with pneumonia and neutropenia so that made things worse. I finally went back and had .25cc remv'd last Thursday and things are MUCH better. My dad's back home starting back on his treatments and my weight's already back down to 178!!!! Do not hesitate to get a little unfill if this happens to you!

Happy New Year to all the May 2008 bandsters! It's been forever since I've posted but I've been so busy. I really haven't lost any more weight. However, during the holidays I gained 10lbs but I have since then taken them off. That was a really scarely feeling. I'll be going in for a fill on Feb. 11. Keep up the great work!

I just cant break that plane!! :) Been eating good..but when monthly shows up I get pretty tight..but I do feel like I need to get more put in.

Stuck at 70 lbs loss - but, consider that I have not been paying much attention to what I am eating - I have not gained an ounce since getting banded!

I've lost 111 pounds... and I'm not done, but I feel great. Its really really hard for me to look at pictures of myself from before. I am about 1,000 times more self concious now, too. Does anyone else feel that way?

Anyway, I have another hundred (or there about) to lose, but I'm up for it! Might I recommend to anyone that has an Iphone or Itouch the "Lose It!" app? Its a fab. way to count calories :biggrin:

Congrats Sara, I use that Lose it ap and I love it! Always with me and the database is pretty extensive. And I like how I can go to previous meals and just copy them as I tend to have some of the same things a lot.

I am down 115 pounds. Wow to say that out loud is eye opening. I have 10 to 15 stubborn pounds to go. I am at 171 and am 5'9". I am wearing a medium shirt and size 10 pants. I think maybe I will be in an 8 or at least some 8s when I finish with those last few pounds.

YOU ALL are doing GREAT

      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
