China, hope you are surviving getting back to reality. The last fill i got has really given me some good restriction. I have a hard time even eating in the morning so I just do Protein Shakes. This works for me as I don't have time to stop and eat. I am still waiting for the scale to start dropping again. Rose I hope all is well with you too. Have a great weekend everyone. Laurel

Thanks Laurel for responding.....you were the only ONE! My band hasn't slipped & I am thankful. It was quite sore and I went to my doc. All is well now; didn't have to have an unfill. It was a scare tho. I won't be writing here anymore. Seems some people on this board are just concerned with themselves and their travels, not how people are doing on the lap band. Thanks again!!

Hi all - haven't posted in a while, but I thought you might want to know that things have started moving again -- I think I was stressed out and that's why I couldn't shift even a pound. Now I've been on holiday for a few weeks and I lost 5 lbs... I'm now almost 50lbs down and more importantly am consistently under 200 for the first time in about 8 years!! It's really wonderful! I still have a long journey, but I'm more hopeful. How is everyone doing?

Hi China, I go back to the Dr. on tues. I haven't gotten to the gym but I am off next week and plan on getting there then. I also have an appt. for my knee. It is getting painful and making it harder to push myself at the gym. How did you make out with the

Hello all sorry its been so long since I have been on but life has been very full for me taking care of my Mom and Mother in law. I also have had computer problems so we had to go out and get me a new computer. So I now I forget how to update my tickler so I will give you an update on my weight loss. It is coming off slow but it is coming off. I have no had a fill in over 3 months and from the beginning of my journey starting at 229 I am currently 184 so I am down 45 lbs. I have about 14 lbs to my goal. I hope to accomplish that goal by my birthday in February. I feel so much better physically. No more pain in my feet, back and legs...its amazing what caring all the weight aroun does to us.

Laurel and China I am so glad to hear that you guys are doing well.

I will try and sign on more often.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
