Thank you. It is exciting. I'm going to be so overjoyed once I hit the 100 pound mark. This is so worth the hard work we go through as bandsters. I repeat. SO WORTH IT!!!

Thank you all for your likes and comments. I am so emotional about this. I'm sitting here reading all the replies and taking peaks of my profile pictures and in honestly teary eyed. Yes we are new people and yes we can do it.

We will make it even through those tough times when we doubt ourselves or we go in a food binge or we feel like we have already messed things up so we beat ourselves up for it. Don't let that interfere with your journey. There is such a great sense of victory when u find that person inside yourself that is the real you. The lean you.

Thank you. And yes, the best advice I have is to change your food choices. You will have to do this with each adjustment. So start now. Take small bites and chew each small bite of food until its mush. This is still the hardest part for me. But this is where my band starts to do Its work by reminding me only small amounts at a time. My dr says 20 small bites of food. Throw the rest of your food away. Don't wait for the full feeling. U will be left with more of a satisfied feeling. Remember satisfied not full.

Good luck on your journey. We're all here for you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
