I've decided to keep a blog documenting my journey for those who are considering the surgery, but also so I may see my changes. I am curious if anyone else is doing this? If so, I would love to follow along with your blog! Please post!

Mine is: New Beginnings

I've been blogging since right before my surgery last year and I can't tell you how great it's been. There is a huge banded blogging community that offers great support. I recommend following some blogs and getting involved in the community.

Mine is below, feel free to stop by.

I blog about my banding as well as my journey through infertility at The Winding Road to Parenthood. On the left side, you'll see a blog roll of other bandsters, which is just a small fraction of the bloggers out there who are bandsters. Click on a few of those, look at their blog roll, and you'll be opened up to an unlimited supply of bloggers.

Good luck!

There are a few threads about blogging. Just search them to see others who blog.

I was banded in South Korea and started my blog to help others banded here as well.

Now it can be good for anyone to read because I have had a few bumps in the road like erosion, losing my band etc.

Just follow the link after this msg. The last few months I have been without my band and doing some Lipo but in 4 days I will be banded again.

I just started a blog a few days ago. I was worried about not having anyone follow it... but I decided that even if nobody follows my blog I'm still going to do it because I know it will help me through this journey. :confused:

I started a blog as well and I have a few followers but I would have done it anyway for the accountability.

I'll be looking for your blogs! Check mine out if you want!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
