GRATS EVERYONE!!

Last weekend I flew to SF to see my baby (ahem, he's 28! LOL) brother and his wife. I was there for her baby shower.

I came out of the BART station headed towards him and he looked right past me. I had to say, "Yo, Giacomo...." He just gaped!!

That was great!

Tonight is Phoenix and friends I haven't seen in almost 2 months! :lol:

KIKIVAL you are looking great! haven't been on in a while and now I see your new picture where you are showing your face not hiding behind a hat!!!! OMG 40+ pounds I am so jealous. Keep up the great work.

Have any of you started losing hair the last week I have lost so much hair. My once thick hair is gone. I pray I don't lose too much more. Went on a thread last night in the hopes of getting some answers. Seems I need to start taking Zinc or Biotin or both.

36_1_1.gif 36_1_11.gif I have to NSV today! First I noticed that my pants I had on today is ready to be turned out to pasture! YEAH!! I grabbed 2 inches on each side of them. The second is the sterring wheel in the car no longer rubs my belly. So maybe the car will finally realize that I am not a genie. LOL

EXCELLENT! Good for you!

When I weighed in today, I had lost 1.5 more lbs. But the EXCITING part was it two weeks time I had lost .25" in my arms and thighs, an INCH in my waist and HIPS. Gotta be all those DVDs! Gotta love Richard Simmons!

I had two NSVs this past week! First, I went for my fill and my doc said NO. He said "you are doing great. You lost 11 pounds in the last month. You don't even NEED a fill". At first I was bummed because I felt like I went there for nothing, but then I realized that wasnt a bad thing :biggrin:

Second, my best friend slept over yesterday. I woke up and was getting dressed for work and he said "You're shrinking!" He looked under the bed and then back at me and said "where did you go?" LOL that made my day

I finally went shopping and the same size fit.:biggrin: Went home, took off tags and wore that outfit to work on Monday. It was too big! how did that happen? maybe I am smaller in the morning! now I'm stuck with an outfit that I won't wear much. I wish there was a clothese exchange for lap banders close to me.

36_9_1.gifI had another NSV moment today. I was wearing a blouse that I hadn't worn in about 3 weeks. I didn't look at it before going out. When I went to my daughter's home she asked when I was going to get rid of that blouse because it was looking bad because it is so big! Yeah!

Good job everyone else.

I am trying not to buy too many casual clothes, but I have to look decent for work. My pants are getting so big that I cant stand it anymore. So I went to Kohls looking for affordable work wear and guess what!?! I am in a 18 now! Teens!

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

      2. 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
