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 had to do 6 months ofbeing seen by a doctor. In which I lost 20lbs with no mandatory diet.

I quit smoking in Mayand gained it back. A small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

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.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
