geez, this was depressing looking at your goal numbers. I am only averaging one lb. a week. what must I be doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong!!!!! Our expected loss is .5 to 1 pound a week more than that is gravy...mmmm gravy with biscuts...ooops sorry "SQUIRREL!". Seriously though if not all most of us have been able to lose several pounds quickly but we didn't stick with it.

I have to keep reminding my self that I'm the tortise(sp) in this race. Losing several pounds between weigh ins is great but the band will help me stick to a program for longer than a few weeks or months but longterm.

Follow the rules as best as you can try to get exercise and when you look back in a year you can say I lost.

Samanthazzz- You're doing great! I've been averaging a tiny bit over a pound for the last 8 weeks and I'm happy with that!

Hi JayTee,

Thanks for reminding me it is not a race. I have been following the program on point and I exercise at least 5 days a week now. I'm going to the DR Tuesday and I hope he will give me my second fill. I was supposed to have it 20 days ago , but he said I didn't need it. I think I need the nudge now. I choose the term nudge (but feel free to substitute kick in the azz) lol

Good luck in your journey!

Only .5 this week! I've taken my eye off the ball starting drinking those damn Chai Latte's from starbucks again what a waste of calories but boy are they good. I'm feeling restriction in my chest not necessarily in my stomach. It actually feels like its hard to go down but I'm still hungry, anyone else having that?

I love those too, I get a shot of espresso in it when I get one. I've ordered the Skinny Latte the last couple times. This was arough weekend I hope it doesn't reflect in the scale.

Well, I've lost a whoping 2 pounds since July 4th. I got a fill today, so hopefully I'll start losing again. I don't think I'm going to make my original goal, but as long as I'm losing....it's all good. :wink2:

      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.
