    2babutterfly got a reaction from jfc193 in 13 years later and - I Love my band   
    Haven’t been on in forever. Nice to see some bandsters still out there. I’ve had mine for almost 12 years. No major problems but keep it a little looser to avoid reflux. With that being said, I’ve also gotten looser with my food and I’ve gained about 50 lbs. ready to refocus and commit again.

    Looking to connect with people that have had their band a while and are still happy with it! I’ve had mine for 12 years! Sw 314 Lw 170 Cw 223. I’ve gained some back and wanting to find some support to help refocus.

    11 years in May for me! I keep my band a little loose due to some reflux....unfortunately that means I can eat anything. Been trying to do ww but then I thought ....hey just use this toool that you have. It’s been so long since I’ve eaten like a bandster I’m having to really think about it.

    Your body needs time to heal. As you get fills and find restriction you should start losing! Congrats!

    Hey, hey, hey! Moving right along around here. Got in an excellent workout this morning and plan to get my 10k steps today. Meals are planned and I’ll just follow it.
    Glad you’ve joined us, Tom. Jump right in! Bootcamp doesn’t sound very pleasant. Is it like CrossFit-type exercise?

    @2babutterfly I stay under 1200 calories - 25% Protein, 25% fat, and 50% carbs. I talk to a dietician monthly and she adjusts as she sees fit. MyFitnessPal makes it super easy for me to keep track.

    Hi-Yes, similar. It is great because the exercises are always changing. It is awful, because you are always feeling sore in areas you did not know you had muscles in. I started tracking again, and I am down a couple of pounds! This group will help me stay accountable to myself. Thanks. I too am trying to stay around 1200-1300 calories a day.

    I would like to join this group. I was sleeved in July, but I need to be more accountable. Started logging again, down 40, but I’ve been stalled for 3 months. I notice the dial moving again down on the scale now that I am trying to keep calories to 1200 or less. I also do Bootcamp 3 times a week. Pure hell. Good luck everyone!

    I’ve done pretty good this week but there were two different functions yesterday. Luncheon at school and a girls game night. I did not win the food battle but today will be a great day on plan!

    This new job is keeping my moving pretty much all day. In light days, I park farther away from delivery spot to get few extra steps in. High Protein low carb is the focus for me. Hunting the dogs when I can. We usually end up walking a couple miles a night when we hunt. Excited about it!

    @bacon and@s_suther you guys are doing great!! I am focused on medical stuff so I'm not even paying attention to my eating but I really haven't done too bad. I have a fun filled week planned and would so appreciate any and all prayers! Sunday: Clear Liquids and colonoscopy prep stuff 🤢 Monday: colonoscopy. Tuesday: pre op appointment with my oncologist. Wednesday: if the good Lords willing and the creek don't rise I'll have my hysterectomy. All of this will take place about 100 miles from home so we are taking our Rv up Sunday night and returning Thursday. A little more comfy than a hotel.

    P.s glad to see some activity on here! How is everyone else?? I've recently found out I have uterine cancer so I'm in the middle of tests and prepping for surgery. Lots of burning in my stomach so I'm thinking about having some Fluid removed. Anybody have surgery while having a band? Wondering if I need to have my fluid out. Asked my oncologist (still hard to type that word) and she said no. But I feel like I need to ask my band doc and see what he thinks

    Good morning!! Just finished some meal prep for the week. Does anybody else do this? I had some veggies that were nearing the end of their life so I drug them all out of the fridge. Made a frittata with red bell pepper, spinach, onion and mozzarella cheese, and ham and eggs. I'll dish that up for my breakfasts. (Hope i will be able to eat it reheated). I've fallen in love with sheet pan meals. So my next concoction consisted of diced chicken, zucchini, sweet potato, Brussel sprouts and onion. A little olive oil and salt and pepper. I'll dish this up for lunches. How is your weekend? Have not exercised my extra day yet. Hopefully I can make that happen sometime today

    Hello all!!! Finally Friday and I'm thrilled... been a long week! I've been marking an x on the calendar whenever I exercise so I'm proud to say I've marked 3 so far this week! Feeling it in my muscles. They seem pretty fatigued. So I will add one more day of walking this weekend but no strenuous exer or weights. Exercise has always been a big struggle for me but I'm trying to fit 3-4 days a week in for the month of February. Friday's are my weigh in days and I've lost 2.2 pounds this week! But.......here comes the weekend...my tough time!!! One day at a time! That's all we can do!

    Congrats on that granddaughter and the promotion. I went back at 40 and got my masters, so I feel you!
    I’m good...joined a gym and logging food. I also boughy a Fitbit and set a goal with the dietician for 10k steps on gym days and 5k on my two off days. So far, so good!
    What are you guys eating these days? I’m having a Premier Protein shake everyday. I add a scoop of benefiber and it keeps me full in the late afternoons, my danger zone.

    Great! Let’s do this! I’m ready to get focused yet again. I’m wonderful. Will welcome my 3 rd grand in March! 2 sons. 2 grandsons and I’m finally getting a little girl in my life! I’ve left the classroom and have taken over as principal of my early childhood center and am working on my masters. Yes my district let me take the job while working on my masters. I’ve gained some weight and been doing weight watchers and then I was thinking this week...hey you’ve got this band why don’t you use it!! Got back on some blogs and came back creeping around here. Missed y’all!!! How have you been?
