I changed my display name to DaybyDaybaby because that is exactly what I feel like. everyday I need encouragement, everyday I feel I need guidance for this lapband. Granted I have lost weight but I think I wasn't expecting so soon and my mind hasn't caught up.

I feel a bit guilty because I didn't try harder, but I was just so tired of losing and gaining back.

I journal all my thoughts, I give mysellf pep talks:

I will be where I put myself mentally : in bandster hell or successland.

Sometimes God gives us our hearts desire, the rest is up to me

I even have an email set up to myself that says 'you finally did this for yourself and your family,

Life will be happier

I just needed to vent, :huh:

It is a day by day struggle. and as my hubby has said, I had two surgeries back to back my body is still trying to get back to its normalcy. (gallbladder/lapband) hard to believe it will be 6 weeks already , I want to be one of those that are happy they got the lapband and can really start enjoying life and the lapband be part of it , instead of being something foreign for now.

Thank you HollyDolly , I don't want to be complaining to hubby all the time poor guy. He is supportive but he doesn't really know what's going on in my head.thats ,why this site is my lifeline. I just sometimes feel I complain too much, or whine too much.. what do they say would you like cheese with that whine?

In looking at your ticker , I think we are aiming for the same weight goal, Awessome!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
