Hi everyone. I am back in town. I went to London for 9 days to see my family and it was a learning experience. First of all, from day 1 I got negativity from the women in my family telling me I need to "stop eating" because I will "put weight back on". When we went shopping they told me I needed to have Spanx on. And boy did I let my eating and exercise slip. I reverted back to old habits (dessert, fried food, minimal exercise). Felt very little restriction the whole time.. but stopped after 1 cup. I feel horrible I ate all that stuff. But now there is nothing i can do to change it except get back to eating healthy and tons of Water. Goal for this week is 5 days of exercise and to go to WLS support group at the hospital.

I have learned on long plane rides I need to order the "special diet" meals the airlines offer. THe regular meals are very unhealthy. And at this point I do not think I can visit unhealthy or toxic family members for so long. The longer I am on vacation the harder it is to stay on track. funny how the band changes everything, isn't it?

@whymomwhy - Losing your job is such a blow emotionally. You must feel shocked and angry. I am so sorry. I find after my surgery and without my food "crutch" things hit me harder emotionally.. maybe you've felt the same. You have been committed to getting healthy and that has to be priority even through difficult times. I am proud of how far you've come and do not let anything or anyone derail that.

Hello All,

I'm sorry for my absence. My father passed away on October 23rd after spending 34 days in the ICU. It has been a very difficult time for me and my family. we are all still in shock. I have gained about 5 lbs and it's time for me to get back on track and start holding myself accountable. Have done some emotional eating but not as bad if I didn't have my band. I have a fill on Thursday. Need one.

I hope everyone is well. I need to catch up with everyone.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
