What I know For Sure



Recommended Posts

I know that having this band is simple, but harder than I thought.

I know that I will succeed in loosing the weight this time.

I know that I am not patient.

I know that I feel much better being 46 pounds lighter than I was.

I know that I cannot do this alone.

I know that food is my enemy.

I know that even if I fall off the wagon today, tomorrow is a new day.

What do you know for sure?

Kim:

I know....

My daughter doesn't worry about me leaving this earth early because of morbid obesity.

My daughter is proud of me!

I will never be morbidly obese again.

I couldn't have done it without the band.

I feel 20 years younger since losing 100+ pounds.

I love being smaller than both of my sisters.

I have inspired people to be more active.

If they come up with the "magic pill" that allows me to eat whatever I want, I will take it because down deep I am still a food addict!

I will eventually reach my weight goal, but I am the size I want to be.

I know that I will never be thin, but average-sized is good for me.

I will get rid of this hanging skin on my abdomen some day.

That my Mom is in heaven saying "keep it up Honey, you will get there".

I actually like exercising, and love trikking!

That if I can do it, so can most of you!

Best wishes.

Sue

What I know for sure is.....

I know Lap Band was the best choice for me.

I know I have so much more movement range and energy now.

I know I've lost 111 pounds in 8 1/2 months!!!!!

I know I never thought I'd be exercising daily and even enjoying it on some days.

I know I never thought I'd be so thoughtful of what food I put in my body.

I know I'm less embarrassed now than I was at the same weight and lower when I was in my 20s.

I know this forum has saved me from failing many times and I really appreciate all of you.

I know I'm proud of myself for all the hard work I've done and all the positive, healthy changes I've made to my life.

I know I'm gonna need cosmetic surgery.

and last but not least... I know I'm gonna need new clothes again soon.

I know that I will forever be mindful of chewing...chew...chew...chew

I know that I could not have achieved the weight loss to date without the band.

I know that regardless of my success, I will always feel embarrased I let my body 'go' so far.

I know that I will eventually be the body size/weight combination with which I am happy.

I know that I should have done this several years ago.

I know that if there was a magic pill to cure my cravings for nuts, I would take it.

I know that my lifestyle changes will impact DH - and ideally mean we are together longer.

I know that my family are proud of my success to date.

I know that if anyone had said I would become 'a regular' at the Y and be there before 6am 4 days a week, I would not have believed them.

I know that I have to keep exercising, even though I do not enjoy it.

I know that I have tremendous respect for many of the people I have met on this forum, and that we would not have 'met' were it not for this band.

        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
