Now that we are in or around our 8 month of banding I felt the need to come back to this thread. SO

I'll be glad when I can...

*Celebrate 100lbs lost

*hit 260 so I can go make-up shopping (my reward)

*lose 10 more pounds so I can fit a skirt i just bought

*feel comfy on my next plane ride to NYC

*see the look on my in-laws faces when they see the change LOL

hopefully by then (Sept) i will be closer to 200 than 300. the last time they saw me i was in the 290's.

now that we have lost a few pounds im sure our lists have changed a little. so from my previous list i CAN:

*walk longer than 30 mins without my legs hurting

*just go shopping for smaller clothes period

*run around with my 4 y/o for longer than 5 mins

I will be glad when...

1) I am in ONDERLAND.

2) I can wear sleeveless tops.

3) I can be comfortable wearing a bathing suit in public.

4) I can complete a 5K walk/run.

5) I can wear clothing that doesnt have to be bought in a plus size store.

6) I can ride ANY ride at Kings Island or Cedar Point.

7) I can cross my legs while sitting at a table.

8) I don't have to stand so I don't have to risk breaking a chair.

9) I control my food instead of vice versa.

10) I can look in a mirror and like what I see.

- wear cute clothes

- not have the joint pain I have

- and know that Im not going to be the "fat" grandma that cant play with her grandkids (when I get them)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
