Hello all!! First I must say this forum has been an invaluable resource for me during my bandster journey. I was banded on Feb. 19 and as of yesterday, I am down 50 pounds!! I have never lost that much. Anyway, 50 pounds was my first goal and I met the deadline I set for myself. Plus, I am just 3 pounds away from Onederland. Haven't been there for over 10 years.

If anyone out there is discouraged, or wondering if the band really can work- it does and it can!! I love the control over food the band gives me. Best wishes to everyone on their bandster journey! :biggrin2:

Congrats Cookienay! What an exciting time for you! I hope that I can get to that point and be just as excited. I was banded last Wed (July 2) and am already down 9 lbs! I keep wondering if this could continue and your message has really inspired me! (I always think in the back of my mind if this is really going to work for me.) Thank you for your words of encouragement and I'm sure you will be in onederland very soon! Congratulations and Best of Luck with your continued weight loss!

cookienay, you & I are on approx the same path. Congrats to you:thumbup: OH, and to me.

However, i'm a little further away from onederland then you are at this point. I was banded Feb 28th and have lost 45 lbs so far. My goal is to hit 50 lbs by the end on this month, which will be my 5th month aniversary. My next goal is to hit onederland...i'd like to do this by Labor Day. I know....thats a big goal 17 lbs...but i started a bootcamp workout this week. We'll see. Whats bad is i can remember the last time i was there (only for a short time) December 2004---i weighed 195.

Has this not been the best thing we've done????? congrats again.

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

        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
