One Month In Bandland



Recommended Posts

Hey all just checking in since I haven't in awhile! Summers in full swing!

So one month out and 25 pounds down! A quarter of my 100 pounds to lose goal! Holy cow!

Non scale victories -

- I can take a picture of my face dead on and barely a double chin! :)

- My old pair of cowboy boots I had to buy a size up to fit my calves are now hard to walk in because there's an inch of room in the calves!

- I couldn't wear my old pyramid belt for the last year - can now!

- Don't dread walking as much - in fact had the confidence to apply to be a walking tour guide of my city - waiting to hear back

- Got decked out to go to a metal show and encountered a full length mirror (dread!!!) and actually had to double take - who was this chick that looked taller and confident and happy and slimmer?

I'm so happy! There have been ups and downs but overall I'm thrilled.

Struggling with bandster hell a little but my first fill is Thursday. On one hand I'm excited and on the other sort of dismayed that I'll be able to eat even less than I already do haha

Anyway, I'm so happy and I'm so proud of myself and I hope all my bandster buddies out there are doing well and enjoying life! :) <3

Also attached a pic of my slimmer face and new hair haha

      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? 🤷‍♀️
