Need advice from you experienced bandsters: I was doing great on my 2 week crash prior to my Dec 2 surgery UNTIL thanksgiving! My favorite menu of the year. Now just feeling like a failure. Need to get my motivation back up to crash diet again for six days prior to surgery.

Hi Kate. I did the same thing, and I'll make you a deal. I'm going to try to lose 10 lbs by Dec. 2. I will if you

will, and I promise to be honest about it.

Oh that makes me feel better. I was reading on how many folks seem to get through thanksgiving on their full liquids....glad i'm not the only one. Doubt I can get ten pounds off but I am sure gonna get back on track. Just have to plow through the next six days and then SURGERY DAY! Ya know, it wasn't even that good......

Each day is a new day, sometimes we all have to start over. I have been bandded 2+years and sometimes I go back to liquids, mushies and then solids to break a bad pattern from starting. Forgive yourself and move on. Congratulation to all who can stick with it but not everybody is the same.

I did good at the meal, but indulged in leftover dressing afterwards. Today is a new day for us all and the leftover dressing is going in the garbage.

Take one day at a time. You can't change the past, but you can go from this point forward and make the future a success. We all have weak moments but we get stronger as we go through them.

Just put it behind you and start over. I had absolutely no intention of going to Thanksgiving but found myself there anyway. I really thought I did well but the scale had another idea. I weighed 3 pounds more on Friday morning than I did on Wednesday. But, in the immortal words of Scarlet O'Hara.....Tomorrow is another day!

      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!!
