Starting Over Again



Recommended Posts

Due to stress, work, and depression, I have become lazy with my life. I just stopped doing and caring.

Today, I start over. I'll measure out my portions, and I will go for a walk after work. Tomorrow I will go back to the gym and continue to do so three times a week, walking on the days I have no gym. I have lost 70lbs since April and I want to lose 30 more by December! I can do it! I just need to break from this depression!!

I can completely relate to your depression and need to "start over". You see, I had my band done in Feb 2008. I was on a good track of losing that first 5 weeks and then my 17 year old son died. He was physically handicapped and I had the procedure to try and become healthier so I would be able to care for him. I tried for awhile after that but then gave up and had all the Fluid removed from my band. i have not stopped gaining weight since having the fluid removed. I have made it to the point in my life, I realized that it is time NOW for me to start over. I made an appt with my surgeon, and will go in on the 10th of October to have the fluid put back in my band. I know it will be a difficult journey for me, but that I CAN DO IT.....Hang in there all my lap band buddies...YES WE CAN!!!

      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!!

      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! 😞
