Hi there KNall

My name is Bonnie and I was banded 3/25/11. I live at Power Road and Queen Creek and would love to chat and be able to encourage each other.

The band was the best thing I ever did. Although my weight lose is slow, 41 lbs so far, I am half way to my goal! You are going to do GREAT and please feel free to keep in touch!

Bonnie

Thanks Bonnie. I'm getting nervous and the more I'm reading the more nervous i'm getting. Like i've read about people losing too fast and having extra skin or people losing slowly which would be discouraging to me. I've also heard of people "eating through the band". Maybe i should stop reading! Thanks so much for replying. We definitely can support each other.

Not to worry at all. All of those things can be true but everyone is different.

I myself have not made good food choices at times which has contributed to me losing slower than some. I'm going back in for another filll next Monday to just start my losing again.

Please keep me posted on your surgery. You will do great!!!!!

My email is bcampbell29@cox.net.

Talk to you soon. :D

I'm in the area - about 15 to 20 minutes from STV - depending on the traffic and construction.. :) would be nice to have someone to talk to ... even with almost 10 months under my belt - its still something 'new' for me.. and finding buddies that understand what I'm feeling and going through? Yeah.. that far and few between... Hope to hear from you soon! And good luck in all you do!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
