Looking for Buddies!



Recommended Posts

Hi all!!

My name is Hollie and I just got banded on 8/17 and I'm looking for some upbeat, kick my butt buddies to help me with this journey. I know we all can't be positive all the time, but I will promise to try my best to motivate and help you feel better when you need it as well!!

I live in north central Missouri. I'm 27, married, with twin 8 year old boys and a mini Aussie Shepherd named Pixie. I'm currently going to school to get my RN license AND trying to continue my job with dialysis, as well as being a good wife and mother and making a huge life change with my band journey! So I have A LOT on my plate (figuratively) :) I have unlimited talk and text!

Let me know!

I have almost 5 years of being banded. Banded October 31, 2006.

I had to do a 12 month Pre surgical diet do to the Ins company.

My surgeon put me on a 1200 calorie a day diet, and 1 MUSCLE MILK LIGHT shake a day.

I lost over 120LBS. before I even got Banded.

So I have some experience being banded.

If you need a helping hand, or a push to get it in gear.

I guess I can do that too

Let me know if interested.

Shirley

I have found that a lot of my hunger is in my head. If I think about it for a second, I'm not hungry and it's more of a habit and tasting something good. Not eating.

Invest in MUSCLE MILK LIGHT Protein shakes. I still drink them, and the Protein kills your appetite. Plus it is very good for you.

I have a web site that I buy threw and shipping 1 or 101 is $5.99 Now that's a deal The 1 1/2

lb jug of powder is under $19.00, and it's good stuff. if your interested I will give the name of the Company, and some assorted flavors that are Great for Protein Shakes.

Let me know..

Shirley.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
