Hi, I'm Kristin. I am a stay-at-home-mom to 4 kids. I had lapband surgery 4 years ago. It has been a huge battle for me and I am only down 38 out of the 82lbs that I needed to lose. I have made lots of mistakes. I had unfills because of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and surgery. I am not ready to give up on this tool yet, so I'm here to get support and make this work. I would love to reach my goal!

Hi, Kristin. Welcome. I just looked at your profile. You should have no trouble reaching your goal. You really aren't very far away from it. It's time to climb back on the bandwagon. It might help if you start back at square one and go on liguids for a couple weeks. That should help get your body and your mind used to the idea. Go get yourself filled to slightly less than whatever your highest was and then go back a month later and get a little more. I'm sure with 4 kids you are already getting plenty of exercise! LOL! Take this opportunity to teach them good eating habits too while your at it. Good luck. You can do it!

      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! 😞
