:thumbup:Hey everyone! Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated on here. Of course, I didn't really have much to update, since I hit a lovely 3 month plateau:scared2: I was stuck at 240 for the longest time. I did figure out taht there was a couple different reasons for my plateau-1. I was expecting one after 50lbs down and 2. I had to stop taking my thyroid meds because I couldn't afford them. I started back on my meds a couple weeks ago, and lo aand behold, the scale started moving again. I hit my 70lb mark which had me ecstatic a couple days ago:party:

I also just did my measurments for the first time since January 25:eek: I totally have been slacking on that; I planned to do them once a month. But I got some great NSV's from doing them today. I've gone from a solid size 26 to a comfortable 18(in most brands), and since I've been banded I have lost:

1 1/2 inches off my arms

5 inches off my thighs

9 inches off my waist!!

5 1/2 inches off my bust

3 inches off my chest

6 1/2 inches off my stomach

2 3/4 inches of my calves

6 1/2 inches off my hips

and i've brought my bra size from a 44G to a 38DDD

which means 6 inches

that is a grand total of.......45 3/4 inches lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup::(

:tongue2::thumbup::unsure:

Glad everyone is doing good, I've been a bit off the ball lately but after visiting with my surgeon I'm now motivated to do things right! I'm so glad everyone has lost so much so soon.

Feeling pretty please with myself today... :( since my last post on the 4th when I hit my 70lb mark, I've flown past that and hit 82lbs lost this morning :tongue2:

And I wore a new outfit to work today-something I never would have worn before- and besides everyone saying I looked good, someone told me I looked hot. That's a definite NSV for me :)

I hope everyone is doing well, and no plataues are kicking your butts!

I am not moving weight wise for a few months. but like I always say if I am not tracking I am not losing. I am also having stress issues that are causing me to munch at night... NOT GOOD... need to get a grip. I have a follow up appt with surgeons office on the 8th of Sept I believe.... would like to lose a couple of pounds in the next 2 weeks.

HappyHomeCC, I am tracking and working out guess maybe its cause of stress with me and didn't realize it. Good luck with you appointment. Sure hope we get out of this rut soon.

:) I went in for what I hoped would only be a small unfill. Instead I had a COMPLETE unfill:scared2:, and I have to go for an Upper GI to see if my band has slipped.And when my Dr pulled out my fill, we found out that instead of the 3cc's we thought I had-I had almost 8cc's!

On the upside he didn't charge me-I didn't go in ealier because one of teh office girls told me that I couldn't get it done unless I had the $175-Oi he was pissed when he found taht out. My Dr is teh type that won't charge you if you're having issues-your health is more important to him, and his office girls know this. The girl might be fired because of this. :thumbup:

But, here's to hoping that I can maintain til we figure out what's going on!

Had my Upper GI today, and from what the tech was saying everything looked good. Band seemed to be sitting right where it should be, the only thing she saw was a little reflux-which I expected because of how bad it was in the past few weeks. Have to say, it feels weird to BA able to keep Protein down after such a long time. I want to have a sandwhich, but I'm afraid of teh bread, lol. On the upside, I had just bought a new cookbook that is all redone recpies to make favorites into low cal-had grilled chicken parmigian for dinner. And I have a reciped for coconut shrimp that brings it from 1100 cals to 250 :)

I'll post back when I know more bandwise.

      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.
