Calling All MARCH '09 Bandsters - We need a name!



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is March 4th and I am on day 2 of my pre op clear liquid diet. The only I can say is that is sucks. I am doing good on it but tonight I had 2 chick nugg and a spoonful of rice. I know its bad and I dont want to ruin my surgery but if I didnt I felt like i was gonna pass out. I have no energy at all. Any ideas for Protein Drinks i have tried the EAS and do not like them, it reminds me of the barium swallow I had to do for my upper gi. thanks guys and I love the name...LUCKY LOSERS!

Hello all!

I'm just a few days off from surgery on 3/3. Has anyone experienced sadness about this whole thing. I guess I'm sad that I'm addicted to food and have to resort to surgery. I am also sad that I didn't have this done a long time ago, what a waste, so many diets, so much misery when you gain it back. I'm not saying that I regret this step it just makes me look back at all the time and effort put into weight loss over the years. Well, I do truly think this is the correct answer, it is the right tool for me. Guess there are all sort of emotions that come up. Anyone else feeling this way?

Hi, Sounds like you've been doing alot of reflecting. I can honestly say I feel the same way. I look back and wonder how I became this overweight person? Your right about it being an addiction. I know this because my husband had a gambling addiction years ago; (don't worry, he's in full recovery, god bless him) I remember what he and I went through. Same senerio, he had to gamble and I had to over eat, always wanting what we shouldn't have. Now we both can be on a road of recovery together, I hope. Best of Luck with your surgery and I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

"TO THE NEW YOU"

      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
