Thank you so much everyone. Whenever I am having an "off" day I will look at these posts from you guys. It's been quite a roller coaster ride the past 3 years but I gotta tell you...it was all worth it and I'm a firm believer that "Things happen for a reason"...I never knew that such a happiness was possible and without my band and my weightloss I don't know how I would have gotten through it all but the life that I live now is the best one that I could possibly ask for.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey with their band. Remember...it's not easy...you will fall off the "band"-wagon more than once...just pick yourself up...dust yourself off and get back on. Life is what you make it and if you work with your band, it will work for you.

Thin feels better than food tastes!!! :bored:

Congratulations on your weight loss! You look fabulous. I am especially proud of your decision to give your ex the boot. My husband has cheated on me online and I was completely devastated...still am... I feel this is because of my weight and I just don't understand why he didn't just leave if he wasn't happy with me. We are working things out because of the kids but I am terrified he will do it again, or even worse actually meet and have a relationship with some woman. What I didn't understand was the fact that the two women I found he was corresponding with were much, much older than me and not that attractive whatsoever. They may have been 'thin' but still, I didn't get it.... I think if I am thin he will love me more.. but will he?

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate all of your comments. I have been told that I have "fat head" by my plastic surgeon. He asks me how I like my new "sexy" body and I just laugh at him and tell him he's crazy. I still can't believe that I no longer wear a size 22/24...life is crazy but I love it.

Bert99...I sent you a pm.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
