Happy One Year Anniversary - August All Stars



Recommended Posts

:thumbup:Happy One Year Anniversary to all The August All Stars. I am also reflective since tomorrow , Aug 15th, is my one year aniv.

I am down 61lbs and feel great. Although my weight loss has plateaued, I exercise vigorously every day. I put in 35-40 minutes on the treadmill, 60 sit ups and do some light lifting.

I know I could have lost more weight with a more strict diet. My goal for year two is 25 more pounds. 2 pounds a month. I have been at 4cc in a 10cc band since February. I don't think I need another fill.

My doctor's surgical skills were great but his post band attention to patents is less desirable.. I only see the NP.

On another note, I still can't figure out how to post before and after pictures, hopefully soon.

Anyway, wife and I Celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this October and I turn 50 in February. Big events and I feel great.

All the best to everyone and thank you for your continued support..

Hey can understand now losing the last 20 pounds slowly.

I will do the same. I am happy with my loss for the year. Most people don't even recognize me now. And it's so much fun getting "normal sized" clothing.

Congratulations to everyone on the one year anniversary

we all did so well it's wonderful.

      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
