April 2005 - One Year - How is everyone!?



Recommended Posts

Wow - I can't believe it's been almost a year since my surgery. Where is the rest of the April '05 crew??

I'm down a little over 55lbs... started off at 255 and was around 198 last time I checked.

Hey Lisa! How are you? What ever happened with you and your fills and your doctor? I have wondered about you. 55 pounds is so cool! I am down about 40 from banding, 60 over-all from 2 years ago. It's a long slow process but I'm totally happy so far! Good to see you here!

I switched Doctors... I have a new one who is awesome, and most of that 55 lbs has been lost through him in the past few months!

I haven't been on here for a while for a few reasons... one of the main reasons being I'm trying to juggle full time work & school, and it's taking all my time up! =) Also, I've found that I'm more successful when I'm not comparing myself to others... I was getting too discouraged at times! I'm glad to hear it's worked out good for you too though - it seems like you're doing great!! =)

I am doing great also. I am down 70lbs, slower than most banded at the same time but I sure am not complaining. My life has done a 360 turn since I was banded. I am so much healthier. I do so much more, my kids enjoy me more. Instead of sitting around eating and moaning I get out there. I have got back into sport. I love volleyball and I gave it up. I have taken it back up and I am loving it. A couple of weeks ago I had my TT and that was just the icing. I didnt know life could be so good. When one good thing happens other things seem to follow. I dont know what it is but I am one happy chappy at the moment.

I love my band!!!!!!!!

      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.

        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
