WOW! that was fast and is great! Congrats to you! Best of luck to you and keep up the good work. I wasn't banded in March - actuallly Feb but try to stay current with everyone's posts. I've lost about 57 lbs..not enough but still hoping and trying. Hope yours is still working too. Thanks for staying current. Just out of curiosity what is your line of work? Sorry - I guess I haven't read enough of the posts. Congrats though!

I was banded on 3-3-09 and i've lost 64 pounds so far.

I'm getting close to my goal and the weight has definitely slowed down the past 2 weeks.

I need to bump up the exercise, change things up again...make sure i'm getting my Water, and watch the calories/carbs/portions again until i start losing again.

I was banded 3/23 and am currently down around 56 lbs...I have had two fills. I need to bump up the exercise now - which will be easier to do now that it isn't so hot out!

Hi everyone, sounds like everyone is doing really well. I am not sure how I am doing. Confused I guess. Last month when I had a fill then had part of it taken back out because it was to tight. I have maintained my weight for a month, just started again. Finially got back to the gym today after all the crazinest at work the past month. I still have good restriction but I get hungery between meals so I don't know what to do. Then there was a few days when everything I ate seemed to get stuck, and I thought maybe my band slipped. Im not sure If I would really know if my bland had slopped. The good news is I am 9lbs from loosing 100lbs that's an awesome feeling. Only 29 more to go to my doctors goal for me, and 59 to my ultimate goal. Now that I have made it this far life seems a little scary. I am a little worried I am going to fail somewhere down the road. I think I still have a lot of work to do with how I think about food and myself. But right now life is good.

        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!

      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
