Dropping In To Say Hi And Introduce Myself!



Recommended Posts

Hello All! I am so glad I found this board! My name is Lakeisha and I am happy to say I have made the decision to have the lapband procedure! I am excited and nervous at the same time. I have struggled with my weight for the last 20 years and I decided to do something about it! I have lost 54 pounds through diet and exercise, but I still have a ways to go before I am at a healthy weight.I have completed my insurance requirements and on the advise of my patient advocate at True Results, I started my liquid diet on Wednesday. I am just waiting for my surgery date at this point. So today is day three and i think it will be easier. wink.gif

I am in Houston and am looking to make some new friends! :)

I wanted to tell you keep up the good work.I found that the pre op diet gave me the confidence I needed to prove to my self I could do this. I had surgery the end of October and am looking foward to this glorious journey of weight loss and better heath. This is a very exciting part of your journey enjoy it.

Welcome Aboard !

Nice to see New Faces.

As you do your research, go all over the Boards, and read all you can.

Knowledge is everything with the band, It does help to understand the beginning stages - Red Zone.

The Green Zone will fall somewhere in between for you, and that's what you want.

So read up, and talk to us sometimes.

Shirley.

Hey, sweet girl! This site is awesome and SOOOO helpful - like you, I joined before my surgery and am so glad that I did. Found out lots of things they didn't tell me and awesome support. I'm 17 days out from my surgery and I'd do it again. I'm with True Results in Richardson, TX and feel like a new person.

Ask lots of questions and read the forums - knowledge is POWER!

      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.
