I was banded in South Korea. My doctor said there were other foreigners banded in Korea but I never found a blog so I started mine to help other people interested in being banded while in Korea and for others who want to talk with a fellow bandster etc. So many people have contacted me since being banded.

I agree with what you're all saying. I started a blog to document my Lap-Band journey, and to share my daily experiences with everyone.

I'm currently in the pre-op diet phase, and ready to be banded on 02/04/2010.

I too have "met" many people through blogging.

Take care,

Logan

It'll be two years in April (if I recall correctly) that I started my blog. I use blogger as well. The Winding Road to Parenthood

My blog started out documenting our struggle with infertility, and now documents my WLS as a next step toward fulfilling our ultimate goal of becoming parents.

Not only will you find lots of band bloggers on the left hand column, but if you are in the IF (infertility) community, you will find many resources to help you with that struggle, including many IF bloggers, further on down the left hand column.

I am considering putting together a WLS Community gathering place for bloggers where you can go to one blog site and have access to all the different weight loss bloggers. We'll see as I know it will be lots of work and effort. Or perhaps LBT can create a dedicated forum here for everyone to list their blogs.

Anyway, blogging is a great way to document your progress, to lay out your feelings, and just connect with others who are going through the same thing you are. I know I've "met" lots of wonderful women in my IF community, and am meeting lots of great people here in the WLS community.

Oh, and also, if you don't have a reader to help you keep track of all the blogs you read, I highly suggest using Google Reader as it will let you know when the blogs you follow have updated with a new post. Google Reader - Tour

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
