Looking for July 2005 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I've lost 20.5 lbs. Seems to be going way to slow though. Since my second fill I've had a hard time eating/drinking anything. Even cottage cheese tried to choke me.

hey babe don't lose your faith! some tips to boost your metabolism

is to increase your Protein, Water, and try to walk just 30 min

a day. don't feel sad.. we are all different! it doesn't matter how fast

we lose.. at the end both of us we will reach the goal! thats for sure!!

I am down 32. I haven't lost anything in the last week, I know that I need to step up or should I say start an exercise program. I had a fill about 2 weeks ago and I have significant restriction. I have some problems with eating too fast, it seems if I go slow I am ok.

I'm in the holding pattern at my new weight of 249. I am happy with that. I may meet your challenge when you posted of losing 10 by Thanksgiving...I'll have to check back, but I think I've lost 4 since then, and we have 7 weeks (I think). PinkMary, you've lost a lot of weight! Keep after it! Cindy

Jenny, you should try chair aerobics (you can get tapes) or Water aerobics. That's what the exercise guru recommended for me after I hurt my back. Good luck!

Cindy thank you! i stuck the last 2 weeks but i know it was my fault!

today is Monday and i think its a good day for new and small goals.

like back to basics :) WATER-PROTEIN-EXERCISE!

Jenny: we all lose different and some people have difficulties on this journey

when they can't walk much or they have PCOS.

Weight loss also depending on how many and which diets we did before..

from which weight we started, our bmi, our psychological situation, our hormones

and many more.. its not good to compare ourselves with others since we dont know

their medical past.. we just hurt ourselves with no reason. even 2 pounds per month

its a victory! and we must celecrate cause we tried hard to be right here.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
