Welcome. I'm relatively new as well, just about a week. Am scheduled to get banded in March. I know how you feel. I'm so hoping that this tool will help me to get my life back as well. I have 2 beautiful grandchildren that I want to play with and be around for for a long long time.

Scotland is such a beautiful country. I would love to visit there someday. Love the accent.

Best wishes for you.

Welcome Yvonne,

I have been in your beautiful country numerous times~ Me Grandma was born in Edinbourgh castle and Dad is from Tillicoutry near Alva. We took him back there 2 years ago for his 80th birthday and we had a great time.

We spent a week there and then he split off and went to Ireland and we continued to the highlands! My husband, and my two sons had a grand time. We went to the Isle of Skye and up by Kyle which was where me grandma named one of my sons. We went all over the highlands and found a museum with our family name McKay on it... by then my DH and two sons had really had enough of the "McKays" so they went hiking and I explored the museum.

Good luck on your new journey in Bandland. This is a great place for suport!!!!!

I'm stopping in to welcome you to LBT! I spent a few days in Scotland way back when...went to Edinburgh Castle...we rode the train around the country...loved it! I'll have to refresh my memory on the name of the other little town we stayed overnight in...it was on the coast...fishing town...had a great and funny experience in a pub up there, as you can imagine when two young ladies from Texas just walk into the town pub full of burly Scottish fishermen! It's a fond memory!

Good luck to you in your journey, and hope you stop by here often!

Cindy

Hello,

Pleased To Meet You All - You Girlies Have Probably Seen More Of Scotland Than Me - Hehe - I've Only Been To America Once - New York And I Loved It - Fabulous - Loved The Accents Too - All Accents Are Lovely.

I Love Visiting Castles - Wales And England Have Some Lovely Ones Too. I've Been To The Isle Of Mull And Arran - I Want To See More Of My Country And Hope To Do So As The Weight Comes Off And I Can Get Out And About Again. I Giggled Imagining Two Texan Girls In A Scottish Bar - Did You Manage To Find Out What A Scotsman Wears Under His Kilt? ;-) Haha

So Nice To Be Welcomed Like This - Thank You All

Yvonne

      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? 🤷‍♀️
