Go girlie - Ok, so 3 to get the ball rolling - so doable this week - I will say a prayer to the scale gods for you!

You too Tamra! I can tell how dedicated you are now and I KNOW you won't fall off again - slip ups are nothing as long as you jump right back on.

So do we have lap band triplets now? Cole, Tam & Pat?

Lee how far do you have to go - Quads perhaps??

Ok Monique & John - what's happinin????

Sounds like lots of us are in good moods today. I was down another 2 this morning so only 2 more to get back to where I was before the holidays. I am seriously hungry right now. I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast and two bottles of Water so far. I can eat my 1/3 cup tuna salad in ten minutes. Then I have another Protein shake to drink on the way home at 2:30 and then it will be tuna for dinner too.

Never sit and wait that long in Richmond or Kaiser period- If I have been waiting any time past my appt time I get up and ask someone if they are running late. Poor Monique. Good thing they didn't take your blood pressure. :blushing: Did you get a fill?

Hey, hey, hey!!!! I'm back!

Today, I weighed 204.6lbs... I have to go change my ticker... I am so happy...I want to knock-off the 4.6lbs by next week...Do you all lose after having a fill???

Yes, I did get a fill. I already had 4cc's inside and he added 1cc....I am now at 50% full. I am back on Stage 1 today and Dr Fisher said to go up one stage per day...Not just Clear Liquids for 2 days. What do the other Dr's have you all do???

Pam-The only reason I waited was because I was flipping through a Lia Sophia Catalog and lost track of time and I was trying to wait unil 9:45am and just leave and go on to my Dr appt...To heck with Robin.

I did ask Dr Fisher, "I know it may be benificial...but is it a requirement that we meet with Robin???" He said, "No!" It's not a requirement but sometimes helpful to us and it helps give them feedback....He took his time with my appt and I did not feel rushed. We were able to have a real candid, personal...professional conversation... He made me feel so comfortable..... I was finished at 10am.

food? ??

Breakfast at 10:30am-Tropical Green Tea w/ 4tsp. sugar

Lunch-16oz. chicken broth

Later, for dinner I plan to have more chicken broth and some jello....I need to go make it now.

Canolie and Tamra-you ladies are so close....I know you can taste it!!!

Tamra-Lets hit the gym this week....I am trying to come to the Richmond Support Group Wednesday...Maybe we can workout Thursday or Friday afternoon....I have to make sure my husband can get the kids.

Riley-It won't be long before I squeaze into those size 10 banana Replublic pants....

Candra-Did you call to make your appt???? Do I need to call for you? You know I will make them squeaze you in!!!!:rolleyes2:

Dr. Fisher told me my next appt will be in 12 weeks... Somewhere around April 4th..... By then...3 months from now, I would like to be 180lbs..... I better hustle....

I will be lurking.....I took off today because I did not know what time I would be finished nor how I would feel after the fill................

Be back...

John....where are you?????

        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
