So I started keeping a blog, more for me than for anyone else but I do like comments and feedback. I feel like it makes me more accountable or I can confess to to the world when I fall off track.

Who keeps a blog or vlog?

Why do you keep it?

Post a link so we can follow!

Here's a link to my blog... I'm not banded yet, but I will be! :(

I keep a blog so I can watch my progress and so others who are considering it can see what to expect. Here is the link to it

YouTube - JewelJolyn's Channel

Hope you find it helpful.

I, too, just started a blog but I will not be banded for about 6 weeks. I wanted a way to get my thoughts out there, meet other people who had undergone the same feelings, thoughts and aspirations and WOW has it been helpful. The women I have met have truly inspired me, so I hope that at some point, once I have been banded, a newbie may find my blog as helpful as theirs have been for me!! :(

Banded Mommy

I have found the most wonderful people through blogging. here is a post I made last week about our lapband blogging community. The link for my blog is in my signature:

"In this lapband blogland of ours you can find:

The young, the "more seasoned", and every age in between.

Baby bandsters, experienced bandsters, those who chose gastric bypass, or those who just want to lose some weight.

The loud outgoing bandsters (are you pointing your finger at me?), the more reserved, the shy, the ones who want to be naked publicly.

The humble, the proud, the lost.

Teachers, writers, mothers, students, nurses, lawyers, somebodies.

The rich, the "money challenged".

Those from the land of education and those from the school of hardknocks.

Forever fatties (not after the band) and fresh fatties.

Those of us who started at higher weights, and those of us who did not.

Girls and (well mostly girls) and at least one male blogger.

Bloggers from every religion and race.

Bloggers from America, Australia, Dubai, and Paris.

Pear shaped, hour glass shaped, and just out of shape.

Those who love people of the same sex, opposite sex, or just love sex period.

We are a melting pot of personalities and life experiences. We are pretty amazing. And we are growing, even while are waist size is shrinking.

Pat yourselves on the back blog buddies. Because sometimes you make a difference in the lives of complete strangers. And sometimes those complete strangers become some of you closest friends."

I started a blog because I was inspired by other lapband bloggers. I'm also not telling many people in real life and the people who blog and read blogs seem so supportive and caring. It really makes you feel good about what you're doing for yourself. I'm still in preband land but if anyone's interested...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
