MEASURABLE Non-weight successes!
MarieMarie replied to CherieRyde's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am looking forward to smaller bras with coloured thin straps next summer -
Help! How do I stop the cycle of binging?! :(
MarieMarie replied to Quasar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never tell myself I cannot have the bad food. I say I will have an ice cream etc on the weekend. So I don't crave things, I give myself permission for them just not now. When the snack attack feeling is over I don't feel like the treats and don't have them. Sometimes we crave things we know we shouldn't have -
Slow weight loss
MarieMarie replied to MarieMarie's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
8 weeks banded. -
They think I am not eating enough solid protei to know if the band is doing its job. My request for fill report asks what you have eaten in last 24 hrs.
-
They won't give me my first fill. Said I need to eat more solid food and let the band do its job. Very disappointed
-
I am 4 lbs from my first goal. I find it important not to look at the big picture but the milestones along the way. Congratulations

Was fun being out last night and having men glance over at me

Lady at work was discussing her decision for wls with me. I was tempted to tell her all about my journey but I don't want everyone to know. I think I am frightened to fail -
11 months before and in progress

I try not to sit and relax until I have my 10,000 steps on the fitbit -
The band is a tool. I know I need it. All weight loss attempts have failed. It will be with me for many years reminding me to chew/eat smaller portions. We each have out own journey. Your journey to health is important

Is anyone having success and enjoying their banded life?
MarieMarie replied to Kitt3000's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The NSV's are important as my weight loss is very slow. My daughter doesn't know about the band. I see her watching my shrinking body and hoping I don't fit into her jeans one day. Wink! Wink! We shall see -
Keep up the good work!

Today starts the first day of my life!
MarieMarie replied to JoJoNYC's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Best of luck. I started my journey in August. My weight is moving slowly, I cannot do high impact exercising. I am ok with slowly moving down the scale as long as I keep going down. -

I went into menopause at 40 so not a concern -
Got banded July the 18 2014
MarieMarie replied to LADYBUG50's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Aug 13 here. I cannot have a fill until Oct 6. Slow progress but Soo happy. I can step out of my clothes without undoing them. Bought the fitbit and trying to get my steps in. I don't plan on being a marathon runner or gym bunny but sure hope to improve my health and fitness level -
My gallbladder issues showed up as back pain. I also went to massage for muscle pain. I agree with engaging your doctor. I have to ensure good footwear or my back is very sore. As a large busted woman, if I don't have a good supporting bra my back will be sore also
