OK.....Done with my Pity Party and ready to rock again!



Recommended Posts

I haven't been around for a while but I'm back now with a vengence! I was banded April 29, 2005 and to date I have lost 148 pounds! I have a new life already but I still have a long way to go and what better place to get support, encouragement and answers than right here! I had some problems back in November, due to my own stupidity of not eating properly, I had a seizure and had to have all my saline removed until 2 weeks ago and I'm now happily back in the game! I still lost even without anything in my band but it was much slower but that was what my doctor wanted so I learned a lesson the hard way! I can't even begin to say how thankful I am to have been banded! My life just gets better every day. I felt sorry for myself for quite a few months but no more...I'm ready to lose the rest of the weight but do it right this time! I had set a goal of 100 pounds in 6 months which I met but I paid for it. I'm on seizure medication now and haven't been able to drive for the past 6 months and it was all because I wanted to lose the weight faster than was recommended or healthy. But I'm back and gonna do it right this time! I know that being on this website helped me more than anything so I'm back and I ain't going anywhere any more....no more Pity Parties for me! I've missed y'all!

      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.
