I'm proud too! I didn't tell anyone I got the band, because people who aren't obese don't understand about feeling hungry when you're really not and about uncontrollable binge eating. I know the band isn't magic, but they think it is. I saw how hard my mom worked to lose 110 lbs with the band, she wad constantly dieting, doing Atkins, South Beach, Hcg, etc. The band Judy stopped those "whole bag of cookies" binges. Its no body's business. You and everyone else, are losing weight to be healthy and to be a more beautiful you. Good luck to you all. God bless and good vibes.

...thats so right. i told my husband last night that he wasnt to expect more beauty from me as a result of weight loss but that i would better health. im 65, i dont know how weight loss is going to affect my muscles, my face, my neck. reading these posts i can see that Protein is an essential part of diet, to the point where it is encouraged to be taken by powder or liquid. im assuming that this is to help with the muscles in the body... not sure about that one. Im certainly going to try and keep a healthy skin, im not going to neglect my appearance. does anyone have any advice here for maintaining a smooth skin after surgery?? weight loss can cause havoc with the face and neck.

Thank you so much, yes it was shocking, always hungry, I've been big, I was a chubby bubby, big kid and even bigger teen. It suprises me looking back at photos, its such a motivator when u have those weeks where ur not going anywhere. I walked away froma friend the other week because I was so sick of trying to explain it to her, she is younger and immature so I really don't want to re include her in my journey anytime soon. I love the new me, it's just the old me, with a little less shyness, alot more smiles and a lot less rolls lol! It's been great :) I love eating to live. Not living to eat :)

I use almond oil, but I'm 16, so my skin is still pretty elastic, but im sure if u bought some bio oil? It should help a little :) I heard it helps with stretch marks, I'm gonna buy some soon, I'm starting to get stretch marks -never had that problem till I started loosing weight- :) hope i was a tad helpful :D

yes... thanks so much.. you were helpful. if you get some oil for yourself and start using it now.. because you are still young and your skin is elastic, you should be able to get rid of those marks. if you cant... have a look online for a tool called ''derma roller''... in fact, look it up and have a read... its a brilliant little tool to have in your bathroom and it does work wonders. also, while i think of it... rosehip oil is also very good. im going to make a small list of the oils you mentioned so i dont forget them. thanks.

Aww thank you :) that's really nice of you :) I think I'm feeling this way, because it's something new, my body is changing, I'm starting to notice things, it incredible. Before people would ask if my eyes re open when I smile, now there so big people tell me how beautiful they are, I can't believe how big they are lol. My head use to look like a circle, now it has structure to it, and I'm getting a neck :) its crazy. :')

Your welcome :) I think I've heard of a derma roller, I'm not sure where from though lol, I massage my face every night, it seems to help define features on my face, mainly my neck and jaw, I use weights with my arms that helps them a bit, and I go on the ab circle pro, it's so much fun! My legs felt like they were gonna drop off when I first used it haha!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
