Hey Ladies,

I happened to see your posts and I just wanted to wish you good luck.

I cannot believe that August 7 is coming up so quickly!!! I was banded on August 7 of last year -- on the day of surgery I had a BMI of 45.3 and here I am just 11 months later, at goal and with a normal BMI.

In order to lose the weight you'll need to work hard and watch what you eat pretty carefully, but the Band is an AMAZING tool that will make this all possible and very manageable.

This is a very exciting journey, and I wish you all the best!!!!

:unsure::smile::(

Congratulations! I am still hoping to get a date early in the month, but I'll be an August if I have to kick and scream on the lobby floor of the Drs. office. Will you guys bail me out if they cart me away? :unsure:

Wow Frangipani, you now weight 119 lbs. that is amazing. I used to weight that. Hope someday by next August to be close to that weight. I have a goal weight here of 130 which would be great for my age of 62.

I am doing the Protein Drink two times a day and one small meal. I had a nice salad with some chicken and no calorie dressing. One piece of no fat/no cholesterol pita bread made with whole wheat and flax seed. (small pita bread) I am so full now. I send for the shakes that I saw advertised here the unjury ones. Some folks say they are good. Sent for 2 chocolate, 1 strawberry, 1 vanilla and 1 chicken flavor.

I have stocked up on low sodium broths in cans and some tuna in Water in 3 oz. cans and sugar free pudding. Have to get the Jello, which I despise but will most probably taste good LOL when I am out of surgery.

I hope to lose more than my 12 lbs pre-op so that my liver isn't too fat LOL.

Thanks for the encouragement.

      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
