Would Like A Local Buddy - Md



Recommended Posts

I posted in location specific forums as well but this seems to get more traffic.

I live in Hagerstown MD but pass through Frederick 2-3 times weekly, am in DC once weekly and Leesburg, VA 1-2 times per week.

Banded in March of 2009. Initially lost 100 pounds in year one. Dropped 350 to 250. Then dropped another 40 in year two to 210. Back up to 240 at this point. Fill is not a useful tool for me at this time. It would take me to liquid breakfasts and trouble with Proteins and veggies, which defeats the purpose.

I need a friend (definite preference on LOCAL) that is interested in chatting via email, possiblity meeting up from time to time, and/or working out. I'm pretty flexible on all of this, but would like to get back on track with someone that is in a similar situation or has recently been banded, as either of these would be motivation for me, and I would like to help motivate right back.

I have started back out on a workout regimine that includes walking/running (doing couch to 5k) as well as cardio and weights in gym. Current exercise rate of 4-5 times weekly for 30-45 minutes each time. Would like to up this once I am ready physically.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
