In Need Of A Friend



Recommended Posts

I was banded on July 12 and I'm already back at work. I had a little pain and was nautious the first few days but other than that it went well. I am starting at 331 pounds at 5'10". I would like to get down to 185. I can't wait to see some results in a few weeks. I live in Dallas, TX and I'm looking for a good friend to walk this road with me. Thank you!

Good for you to be back at work! I was banded on June 19th. I started at 252 at 5'2. I have not had a fill yet and at my last dr appt I was down to 242! I know I have gained at least 2 pounds back since that weigh in, but I am ok with that. I have finally gotten it through my thick head that this is a process. It will not happen overnight. I spent my whole life eating bad and its natural for me to continue to do so, it is hard for me to think before I eat.

Tonight we went to a restaurant and I had a small portion of food, I was so proud of myself! Even my normal waitress noticed I ordered just a salad with some Protein on it. She was like " that's it?" I smiled and said yes! It was a victory for me!

Welcome to this journey.. I dont have all of the answers, probably not even half, but you can always reach out to me!

      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.

      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!!
