You know it's funny when you sit down throughout your journey and you compare to the used to's and the now you do's.... Today is my 3 month bandiversary and while drinking my coffee and getting ready for my over night in Atlantic City with my hunnie i was thinking of all the times i read or heard how being over weight can affect your job. I used to say no that's not me i don't lose money over it.. i don't call out ... man.. what DENIAL! I did!! Between the reflux, not wanting to get out of bed, headaches, or just all around feeling crappy... Where was i all these years.. not anymore even my boss said to me that she could tell a difference .....once again i had to ask myself why didn't i do this sooner! I love my new banded life and this journey i am on! Have a wonderful day everyone!

I'm getting banded on the 12th of August, and I can't wait!! It took me a year to come to a decision to go to an orientation and two months to the day I'm having the surgery. Once I got real and noticed just how much my weight was affecting my daily life, I feel like I'm doing the right thing. My husband is so excited and says that he is excited for me to be healthier. The first 50 years of my life was wonderful and I'm excited to start the 2nd half of my life off the right way.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
