Friday Weigh-in



Recommended Posts

Julie & Love - you're both doing great. I love this sight and love my band - I'm down 2 pounds myself and I've rounded up to say I've lost 20:redface:.

Love, your body was probably in shock because it wasn't exercising. Sometimes I think we just have to trick them! Whatever works. You are doing so awesome.

Julie - you too. Amazing. You guys rock!

I've posted my anticipated weight loss (at 8 pounds a month) on my Treo phone. Next week, it says that I'm supposed to be below 220. We'll see - can't wait. Go me:smile:

Morning -

I really do need a new scale. I have no idea how much I've lost this week. I can tell you I lost 8 lbs in the last month and am finding a waist now!

Have a good weekend.

Hello I'm Rae

I had my second band put in 10/20/08. The first one's port got infected and had to come out, and then I had to heal. My first one was put in in July.

I had my first fill 12/16/08 7cc in a 14cc band

no real restriction.

However this Tuesday I got 2.4 cc more for a total of 9.04 and I feel the restriction. It feels different this time. I have lost 3 lbs since Tuesday. I do Wii fit almost everyday for 45 minutes at least and I did get the Wave so I am hoping to start that soon. I didnt really lose in December or January I had no restriction and just ate, I didn't gain weight but wasnt doing anything to try to lose weight.

New beginnings

Hi Rae -

Wow, that must have been so frustrating for you. I'm very impressed by your resiliency.

I love my Wii Fit - especially doing the step aerobics with the regular tv on. What is the Wave? I'm always looking for new things.

it was very frustrating after my first port had to come out but you move on and hope for the best. It was scary because they wound had to be left open to heal :confused: but we are all better now and moving forward.

the Wave is a stepping program but the step is shaped like a 1/2 circle so you can sept on it them turn it over and it rocks back and forth it is neat but higher aerobic work out.

You shouldn't worry - the scale fluctuates. I try not to weigh myself so much although it doesn't always work! You're doing great.

        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
