Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Need a single mom buddy



Recommended Posts

I am a 42 single mom. I teach in North Alabama. I have been overweight my whole life. At 266 I know I am pushing the envelope health wise, so LB is the way to go! I am more of a helper than a person who asks for help, so a buddy on here would be most appreciative.

Hi Nicole, I will definitly be your buddy, but I know we need someone else that has already been banded for a while to ask questions. I have went through many of the hoops as of right now. Just waiting on surgery date.

Hi Single mom, just jump right in to the "I'm here to help thread" Everyone is so good helping each other. Read the posts and ask away. We all love to have people join us. Janet started the thread and Apples is great but they all can help.

      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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
