Realized How Bad I Need To Lose Weight



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I went to the mall with my daughter. After 3 hours there my knees hurt, my hips hurt, my back hurt. That just reinforced my decision to have the lapband surgery with plication. I go for my EGD on July 3rd. Hoping to get banded by the end of July.

It's a huge reality check and even more so once you have the band and begin your weight loss journey. You won't regret it, just know it will change your lifestyle and mindset about food, fitness, and oh yes...new clothes!!!

Good luck and let me re-assure you, it's a worthwhile journey. You can't even begin to imagine how you health will change, the physical being a side benefit (a good one of course!).

Keep us posted and congratulations on making this life changing decision

I can't wait to get my EGD done next Tuesday so I can get my surgery scheduled. Who would have thought I would be so excited even knowing the pain at first. But I'm looking at the end result and that's what excites me. Thanks for all the support!!

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

      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! 😞
