JoyceGA introduction



Recommended Posts

I am just starting the WLS journey. I've already lost 41 lbs from my high of 450, and have 82 to go for the surgery. My target weight is 165, but by increasing exercise, I hope to get back to my college weight of 125.

Why do I call my LapBandTalk journal "When Pigs Fly", well, I've called my kitchen "When Pigs Fly Kitchen" for years and even decorate with flying pigs, because I hate to cook. I used to cook as often as pigs flying.

However, getting ready for WLS, I am learning to make healthy smoothies, cook light, and drink Water. I am thinking about food more than I ever had, AND the pounds are coming off!!

I also have profiles on ObesityHelp and MySpace, but I found the RNY post-ops railroading their procedure over the lapband clients. Plus, I couldn't find a lapband person to answer my question. Either they lurked and e-mailed me, but the lapband folk have been silenced.

Well, "nobody puts Baby in the corner!!" So, I can't wait to chat and learn HERE!!

This "pig" is going to fly as I achieve each goal.

Hi Joyce and :welcome2:.

You have definitely found the right place for support, advice and encouragement. There isn't a better site out there. You will love it.

When are you getting banded? I am tomorrow and can't wait.

By the way, "Dirty Dancing" is one of my alltime favorite movies, lol.

Welcome Joyce,

I have found this place to be very supportive and helpful in so many ways. A lot of times I don't have to ask the questions because someone has already started a thread and asked it for me.

You have accomplished a great task by losing 41lbs already so stay encourage, you are well on your way. This will be a piece of cake for you, just not literally (smile)!

      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.
