I am so happy the scale finally moved in the right direction!!! I have given up on not weighing myself. My office is right next door to a health unit. So I can't help myself. Not on it everyday though. It's been about a week since I weighed last. Hope to be pleasantly suprised next Monday as well. Woo Hoo!!!

Chilli sounds fantastic. I'm so glad you've successfully moved onto the mushie stage! I moved into the full liquids stage today, and my pudding and Protein Shake with milk are so delicious. I ate about half a pudding cup and I think I'm full... I don't feel hungry, but I'm beginning to feel something in my chest that makes me think my top stomach is full. I don't want to push it on the first day, so I'll stop here.

When are you able to move onto mushies? You were banded the 27th? Thats just 2 days after me.

What have you been blending? I blended home made chili last night as my first meal. So yesterday I had my Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch then the chili and lost a pound! Today I had the same Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and tonight have blended up some Pasta with meat sauce ........... it looks like poop on a plate but OMG so yummy!

Soexcited, I move on to mushies on the 17th. My doctor is very conservative with the healing process, so I have ten dys each of Clear Liquids, full liquids, then mushies before I move on to solids.

Well, lol, I haven't been blending anything. I've just been eating! Still pretty healthy, but probably a few things I shouldn't and probably more than I should. I did okay the first day on mushies, it was the next day that mushies just kinda went with the wind. But I'm back on it and starting to see the scale move in the right direction again! :thumbup:

I'm down 23 pounds since my first consult, 9.5 of that (assuming I did the math right) is just since surgery. I can't believe it's only been 12 weeks since I started this whole process and the change in how I'm dealing with food, even prior to actually getting the band, is phenomenal.

I think my body is really, really good at losing weight quickly at first. I've lost 20 pounds overall, 3 of those being pre-op. So, since surgery (11 days) I've lost 17 pounds.

      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
