Nicole_NYC reacted to Bandista in November 4th
My date was November 5th -- but 2013, so I will be two years out. It has been wonderful. So happy with my choice and with my current state of health. Good luck with all!

Nicole_NYC reacted to Leepers in It's Been A While
Hi everyone! It's been quite a long time since I've posted in this forum. I see some old familiar faces still posting and commenting.
Just to catch up, I was banded December of 2013. Highest weight 295. I reached my goal of 165 in February of 2015. I've been mostly maintaining since then. I've gained about 5 pounds recently and it's something I need to work on. Lifetime success is not letting it get out of control, right?
Since my band, I discovered a love of fitness and running. I ran a half marathon last April on the day before my 42nd birthday. This August,I completed a Sprint Triathlon!
Just want to say, I love my band and I am loving having my life back.
I hope everyone is doing well.
To all the newbies, find a plan and STICK WITH IT! The band is only a tool, you must make some changes.

Nicole_NYC got a reaction from Bandista in Temptations
@@Bandista -- this really hit home and I really needed to read this after having a terrible night last night. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement you have no idea how much it means to me it really put things in perspective. I never thought of my body being an investment but you're right it is. Thank you so very much.

Nicole_NYC got a reaction from TraciL in post op surgery swelling GONE
Traci..... Although I'm not happy for you I am happy someone is going through the same exact thing as me. I was just banded on July 30 and I think I'm healing pretty well because I have no restriction at all and I tested the waters by eating chips also. I'm freaking starving!!! I'm starting to fall off and not listen to the doctors. I'm here with you girl!!! we have to get back on track together and stick to the plan

Nicole_NYC reacted to gowalking in Do you see your progress?
Yes and yes. I have the same struggle and I see a therapist because I am also too hard on myself and only find fault with how I look. I am not comfortable in my new body and still feel fat. I worry that I will sabotage myself so I am working with this therapist to find the root cause of my body image issues so I can embrace my new self, both with the improvements I've made and the work in progress I still feel I am. Good luck to you..hope you get the help you need.
