Its been a while since I last checked in so figured I would give a quick update. Still hovering just a couple of pounds above goal. Stepped on the scale this morning, which I have not done in about a month. I think I was a little surprised at that. Reason is that I am finding that I fit into less and less of my clothing (even my "skinny" clothes that have been hanging around for years unused in my closet). Definitely shaping up and right now, could care less if I lost another pound. BP is good, off the rack clothing is nice and the compliments don't suck for the ego !! Still love the band - I have not been adjusted for 9 months now (I think I have around 6cc's in a 10cc band). I really don't think about eating, with the exception of generally focusing on Protein. Last night my girls wanted pizza. We went to the local pizza place, I ordered a slice with pepperoni and mushroom and proceeded to eat about 3/4 of it and I was done. That's what I really love about the band.

Anyway, hope all are doing well!

Hi guys this was a really big week for me Sunday I got on the scales dropped another 3 pound. That put me at GOAL, I am now just OVERWEIGHT. After going 5 or 6 weeks with little or no weight loss in these past two weeks I dropped 6 pounds, during this period I stopped keeping a food log and the band does work it makes you stop eating but then I started the log again this week and found their are days I only would get 50 grams of Protein and other days 100 grams so for me think I will continue the logs. Not sure what I will do from here except to just keep eating the same for awhile.:wink:

        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.

      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
