I went on a 5-day vacation to where I used to live for a friend's Mom's 90th b'day party. Saw a lot of friends I hadn't seen in awhile, and definitely not since being banded about 2 months ago. Everyone knew about the band and I got gobs of compliments of how well I was doing and how good I looked. I came home tonight and was so excited. With all the compliments, I was sure I lost 3 or 4 more pounds! (how silly is that??!). I shouldn't have, but I got on the scale, only to learn I GAINED a pound from when I left on my trip. I was so depressed, I said f... it! and started for the kitchen to get something illegal when a phone call stopped me.....

The lady having the party for her Mom called me to tell me again how great I looked, that I am an inspiration, keep up the good work, on and on and on! I call that devine intervention! Instead of running into the kitchen, after the phone call, I came back to my trusty Lap Band Talk and read and read and got inspiration and motiviation, as I always do when I come visit my fellows bandsters!

Thank you thank you thank you. Good luck to you all. Believe in devine intervention! :-)

      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! 😞
