I don't really think it matters. People have differnet tastes, so they can pick their own. You can change yours to mine if you want :( ...we'll be band sisters!:unsure:

Yeah I got a banner! Thanks for the tip!

Well I slipped off the pre-op diet wagon last night to say goodbye to my favorite steakhouse. Actually just had steak so didn't cheat that much. So back on the diet full force today. Mine consists of 3 Protein smoothies and 3 protein meals. I am not starving but I am bored with the food!

Anyone in my area of Marietta/Atlanta? Where is everyone from?

LOOK! I figured out how to do the glitter words!!

-Click on my August All-stars it will take you the web-site

-Complete steps 1-4

-Go to your profile and edit signature

-paste your code in the box where you signature is...then hit save signature

****You will not see the glitter until after you save it, if you hit preview signature it will tell you there's an error and it won't work....It took me about 10 - 15 minutes to figure it out.

Ok - I got as far as creating the banner. I have cut and pasted myself silly. Which box do you cut and paste? Do you cut the whole thing? Where do you put it? help...I want a banner:sad:

Hi everyone!

Are you accepting Australian banders-to-be? I'm getting banded on the 1st of August and would love some moral support from others who are being banded around the same time. Plus I love the glittery banners!

Thank you for the welcome! I will start working on a banner, I'm so excited about joining all of you!

Yes cutiew I'm on Optifast for 2 of my 3 meals at the moment. I see my Dr on the 23rd and may go completely on Optifast then but for now I'm already struggling on the diet I'm on. I'm only in day 2 of the diet though so I'm hoping it's going to get better. The good news is that I've lost almost 3 kgs already, though I suspect it's probably been Water more than anything.

Is anyone else on a pre-op diet? Perhaps we can sit in a corner rocking back and forth together! Lol!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
