not long to the anniversary, cant believe the year has gone by so quickly. I want another 10 pounds off by the anniversary. The exercise bike will be my new BFF!

Hi to all, how are you guys doing?

Zero change for the past six weeks, so that's not good. On the other hand, that is exactly the point where it got too cold to ride my bike to work anymore (18 miles round trip daily) so its not like I'm shocked that when the biking stopped the weight loss "coincidentally" stopped too. Feeling OK about at least holding steady, but will have to find something to replace the exercise until May. My BMI is down to 29.1, so I'm feeling pretty healthy in a size 12.

Hi All, I am still plugging away. I just had to realize I am losing normally, now- about 1-2 # per week. I have plateaus, too. Have lost 100# since admitting I needed Surgery, and 70# since Surgery. Bad news is I have 70 more to go. I am walking ion indoor routes at work and at the gym. i may try volks-walking or something. ( No running) I hit 219 # yesterday!

Hi ALL, Still at 219 But that is better than 320!!!I lost a few # at once so it will be a while before I lose more. That's OK.

Hi Am at 219 # at the moment. nhave had problems with my gal bladder and it comes out on the 22nd. Hopefully that will make the weight loss easier A the moment, I think 215 # would be a resonable fogoal for Dec.

Hello Everyone, I haven't posted in a long while and I have had some great success. I have lost 31 pounds since my last post and a total of 73.2 pounds since my surgery. My anniversary of my band is next Wednesday and I am hoping to be at 75 pounds total loss. I will try and keep up with my posting. I go back to the Doctor on January 26th and hope to be 10 more pounds lighter. I am exercising more and that helps a lot. My goal for January is 10 pounds.

Hi All,

215 for Dec may have been reasonable but this gall bladder thing is a real pain ( literally) I can eat mashed potatoes and yogurt. Anything else causes problems. Am about 222# at the moment. I haven't felt like exercising,or walking. Surgery is Tuesday, hopefully I can get back on track.

      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.
