I was just banded on August 2nd and so far it's been an absolutely fantastic experience, except for the "Oh, my head hasn't changed, I still sometimes crave foods!" part ;-).

I've started a blog as a way to chronicle my journey and also have some fun with it ... trying to incorporate some humor into what is -- let's face it -- not always an easy road to walk.

If I show you my blog will you show me yours?

And are there any blogs you regularly follow that you'd recommend?

Thanks!

Congratulations! And those head cravings will get easier as you go along. Remember old habits follow us. This is a lifestyle change. Not a cure all. I truely wish that it would change those habits because that would be a miracle but they do get easier to deal with as you go along. Once and awhile it's ok to give into those cravings. This isn't a diet. Diets fail. There is no bad food. Everything can be eaten in moderation. If we don't give into those cravings once and awhile, then we tend to go on a binge. Once you move up in your progress and your fills you will be amazed at how those cravings just disappear. I don't crave any of the things that I did before. Your taste buds change.

I also blog my progress so if you want to check it out, please do. Thanks for sharing yours. And good luck to you.

Congrats on being banded! My blog is below. When you take a look at it, on the left hand side is a blog list of quite a few of the bandster blogs I follow (many of them very popular, such as Catherine, AmyW, MrsFatass, etc.).

You'll also see on the right a list of infertility blogs that I follow, as I suffer from infertility, thus the reason I got the band in the first place, so we can try using donor eggs or donor embryos. Losing the extra weight will lessen the risk of being morbidly obese during the pregnancy.

Enjoy!

      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...

      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?

      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
