I am so excited! I just signed on for the Turkey Day Challenge. I have never done a challenge like this, and I am excited to give it a try! I was banded in March, and haven't been to this forum much. I may need to remedy that! :smile:

I am 17 days post op and have lost pretty good so far but my darn scale is stuck this week, I cannot possibly eat less than I already do and I'm doing lots of cardio.

~Just keeping the faith that Mr Scale will start doing right by me soon:laugh:

Alright I'm a little late in joining, but it seems like good fun. I don't have a specific goal in mind, but I want to have something that keeps me motivated, and this seems like it'll work.

I'm going to go with 15 pounds lost by Thanksgiving.

Welcome all!!!! The more the merrier.

My scale hasn't been cooperating and I had a bit of a meltdown today. (I found the vanilla ice cream. :thumbup: )

Onward to tomorrow!

RobinAnn, We all find it sooner or later,:thumbup: just go over your rules for eating and find a substitute for ice cream (Mine is Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Fudgesicles- 1 bar is 45 calories and 2 G of protein)

i lost another 1#, at 223!!

      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
