Well I'm not too tight, I ate 1463 calories today, withOUT any ice cream LOL! White bean chili, sesame chick'n salad, avacado, (a few) sun chips and (3) oreos! But I burned off 1466 walking over 14 miles!!! Plus my gazelle and my LTT (Lateral thight trainer) now I am POOPED going to grab my book and go to bed!

The bad thing about exercising 3+hours a day is that there is NO time for anything else. If my son did not work out and speed walk with me, I would never see him! All I do is work and exercise, my life needs more balance than this. Oh I need to add more shopping!!!

Candra you kick ALL ass, take names later girl! Take your Lortab and go to bed!!

Batter up Jes!!!

Hey girls, I'm SUCH a happy girl now! Dr. Baggs took out 1.5 cc's so now I have 5 cc's. I have an appt next month to see if I want another tiny fill but I'm not sure i want to tempt fate. Maybe I'll just accept the fact that I'm pregnant and give in to a few cravings and then try to be good the rest of the time. I dunno...

I feel SO much better though with real food in me! I ate some salad, bbq chicken and 1/2 a baked potato for dinner. I was so happy everything went right down and I'm about to have a little tiny mint brownie with 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream. YUM. :blink:

Maria, sorry I didn't see your post! My appt was at noon but I got in at 11:45 and was out by 12:05pm today. Quick and painless! Well, almost painless. :lol:

Ok Ladies............I have been having alot of Migraines the last couple of days. TOM and I don't get why I am getting the migraines now but I am...........I get light headed and have migraines and than I start.........I don't get it but I sure don't like it!!

Ok gone all weekend and really off the diet. I have had to many carbs. My band is not tight at all. In fact I barely can even tell I have a band. Even protiens go right through. I really need a fill. So weird cause 5cc's was tight, really tight awhile back............now I don't even fill it!!

So I am not gaining or losing..........which is good.....sorta. BUT.............I have got to get back on the Water and no carbs.......being on vacation didn't help.........to much italian food.............geez eating out and the band don't work so well............

OMG Tina I had migraines during TOM as well, it is normal for me however i was light headed and couldn't understand why.

I'm with you on the not being in diet thing right now, however lets get back on track. I thought after getting fill i'd be doing better NOT! Can't wait to start losing again.

Just checking in. Can't believe Candra's already posted more than me, and she had surgery today! I feel like I'm off track for the moment. I also feel like I keep losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for weeks. I should change my ticker, but it's so nice to see 60! Hope you're having a great night/day!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
