starting a new life with the lap band



Recommended Posts

So I had a thought last night while I was trying to go to sleep. Let me start from the begining. I get marrried first of last year. As I think back to planning the wedding I am feeling now about what I felt then. You plan and plan. Get all your ducks in a row. Then you wait. Your day finally comes and you are just ready to get it done so you can start your new life. Once the ring ( band) is put on, the real work begins. Just like marrage, the band is going to take some lifestyle adjustment, some successes, and some struggles, but it is totally worth it. My work will begin on Thursday, 8-4. I am feeling all of this and just wanted to share. I am looking forward to my banded life.

That is a great way of looking at it! I am getting banded tomorrow as well. I will be thinking good thoughts for you!

What a great analogy. But unlike my marriage, my band is going to work!!!

Good Luck with Surgery. Let us know how things go on the "Post Surgery" forum. :)

      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?

      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! 😞
