Recommended Posts

Hello All:

I have not posted in a really long time but I wanted to say that I am happy and although I would have lost a lot more if not for the ice cream bad habit, I have to say that I am so glad i had my surgery. I am trying to post pictures of the day of my surgery and what I look like today but never mind that... its the way that I feel that is important right now and... needless to say, aside from the occassional self inflicted pb, I am doing awesome.

Keep on trucking people!

best,

Nilsa:thumbup:

Nilsa 52 pounds in a year is an awesome place to be! My doctor said to expect to lose a pound or two a week and judging by that formula you are right on track.

Congratulations!

You guys are doing really well it will be my one year aniversary of the band on 18sep , i got to watch the oerdoing it on nuts and cheeses, its the night time that gets me after a hectic day, but i have lost 84lbs, and have 14lbs to go, wow hoping to get there by aniversary, but havent been excercising lately as well, but as long as we eventually get there we are all heading in the right direction, and certain we are all starting to look sexy, if not sexier now, we going to make it, and we never going to get fat ever ever again --- oh except if one of you guys gets pregnant, then only momentarily. keep on going ----- down down down we go with the weight, what did you guys get to remember how far you have come?? i am going to buy a piece of jewllery,gosh doesnt time fly, especially when you start feeling good about yourself?

      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. 🤞
