just wanted to say Hi to Alexandra - haven't "seen" you for ages and hoping you're ok - missing all your good advice here - Have you gone into hiding to watch the new Lord of the Rings movie over and over????!!!

take care, and know you're missed!

Hey Bright! Thanks so much for thinking of me. Only part of my absence is due to the miracle that is ROTK. (Two times and counting...) ;) You know how life can just go crazy sometimes, especially with kids.

I'm so thrilled that this site is hopping; I've been lurking with dedication and reading almost every message. :D But there's just not so much going on with me, band-wise, so I'm hanging on the sidelines.

No news is definitely good news, though! My weight has been hovering within two pounds of what you see below, and I'm just thrilled it's not been a hassle to keep it there. And all of a sudden, as I mentioned elsewhere, my restriction has suddenly reappeared and that's fine with me too. Maybe I'll get to change my signature before too much longer.

Happy holidays, Bright, and thanks again!!

Hi Bright and Alexandra

Funny. As I signed on tonight I was thinking the same thing - i.e. haven't heard from Alexandra in a while.

Glad you're OK - and keeping up with a positive attitude - even if you're a bit at a plateau.

Happy Holidays to both of you.

Mary

funny...I have been reading and watching everything that has been going on,too...just not saying much. It seems like we work so hard to get our band- worry, fret, think, research, etc...then we get it and it's like...oh...back to regular life!

I am hovering, too Alexandra...but get a second fill on the 29th. I am hoping that jump starts my loss again...but like you- it hasn't been this insane battle to keep off what I have lost. What a feeling.

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday and that the next year brings you your hearts desires!!

      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! 😞
