Hi all,

My name is Mandy and I am 20 years old and am getting Lapband in the next month (surgery date TBD). I am really looking forward to starting this new journey and becoming and ever better me! I would love to find someone to talk to about all the different aspects of this journey since I don't know many people who can relate! I have Facebook, twitter and am thinking of starting a blog! I look forward to hearing from you all :)

Hi Mandy!, used to have a gf growing up named Mandy.Welcome. Ive been lurking till recently, when I decided to join some conversations. I dont have a surgery date yet. I dont even see the surgeon till tomorrow. Im nervous. I quit smokin for this, and Ive been cheating a bit. AHHHHHHH! The nerves! Welcome again, it really IS ABOUT YOU! You will do great. Kinda young for such a drastic procedure might I add. I had no problem losing weight at your age. I hit menopause, and it all paused. cept weight . IT GAINED AND WONT STOP! AHHH! AGIN!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
