Marriage & Lap Band Results



Recommended Posts

I have a great man who loves my curves or flab, whatever we want to call it...he calls it curves. I was also big when we started dating. I have gained and lost several times. This time I was at my biggest and having health complications. I had my surgery a month ago and am

Down 30 lbs! The great thing is that I am now motivating my husband to diet and exercise!!! E doesn't have as much to lose as me but it is something we are now doing together. He knows I want healthy or happy with myself the way I was and supports me 100%! That's love and I am sure he will love me when I am happier and healthier too. Beauty is within whether yiu are bigger or smaller!

My fiance and I have been together 14 years.... And when we started dating I was 150lbs.... Before surgery I was 273.... Between that time I gained and lost weight like a yo-yo.... I would lose 40 lbs and then gain 50 back... Many times we discussed my weight... He is a very honest person and won't lie to me to make me happy, so it crushed me the day he told me he wasn't "attracted" to me anymore.... Not that he didn't love me, but he worried more about my health then enjoyed looking at me. It wasn't really until that day I realized how large I had gotten.

When I decided to look into lapband he was 100% behind me... He even helped me research it... Would look into success/ fail ratios, what you need to do before,during, and after surgery and weight loss... Before I even walked into the Dr's office for my first consultation, I knew exactly what I was getting into and was very excited!

now 2 months after my surgery and 30 lbs gone, I have more confidence, feel sexier.... And the best thing is every day he tells me how much he is loving my new body... I believe that people are attracted by looks at the beginning... But after a period of time people are attracted to personaliti, and the physical you is just an added bonus.

As long as you are happy in your new body, you will give off the sense that you ARE sexy, and confident.... Even If you don't have as many curves.... And your husband will feed off of your attitude.... IMO...

Good luck with everything!! Hope this helped...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
