i fell back into snacking at night. at first just carrot and celery but then anything, bread and butter, cheese slices. thats about all we have in the house don thave biscuits or cakes... but now its gotten worse have started eating chocolate in the afternoons, which makes me fall asleep at work

Hello Judy,

I have been where you were at just three weeks ago. I felt just like just giving up, but decided to call my nutritionist first and talk with her. Then moved up my appointment for another fill which was last Thursday. I told myself why I wanted the band then made myself a promise to go back to the basics. So I started with stage three after my fill and tried to stay with it then moved onto stage four for the rest of the week. Now back to stage five again last night I told myself is it worth it eating that (of course my mind said yes) but I get so tired of trying and not following through. So tonight I will make sure I exercise - I have tried not too (not good) but this part of my life was a struggle to exercise. I set a small goal if I don't lose a pound in one week after my fill I will start exercising. I get on the scale tomorrow, but I have decided I want to lose 100 pounds within the next two years. So today looks like a good day! I weigh 274.6 pounds in high school weight 300 pounds now I am 44 years old. We can do this please just take a few moments to remember why you went down this journey and regroup. We have all made mistaken and have went back to old habits and just said whatever. Just forgive yourself and start afresh today! Today looks like a good day for Judy and I can start again - the craving and stress will come but you can do it Judy! I wish you the best please just start again today forget about yesterday.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
