A Paradox of Sorts



Recommended Posts

Everyday I read posts here, from people saying they need to eat more.....Then I read posts from people saying they need a fill....

Just goes to show you that people find their goals and are100% successful from different avenues and approches with this surgery....there is obviuoulsy no certain hard fast approach, as all the testimonies on this website prove....

I for one have my story for success,and my approach, just as others have theirs....it does not matter whose approach is correct, being that they have all led to succesful weight loss journeys....and complet patient satisfaction with this procedure (surgery)

As they say, you cannot argue with experience resulting in a positive outcome...and when they have shown their approach to work, if to no one else but themselves, then what else matters???

So when I read all these different, conflicting posts, what does it matter? Other than I am glad people are finding their success...that's all that matters...

True pearls of wisdom...and about time someone pointed out the obvious!

We are all adults, and though there are active posters who are passionate about their weight loss journey's, they don't need to write devisive and mean posts just because someone else does'nt agree with them.

There are many paths to take...wishing success to all.

We are all different but are all the same "banded" together. Listen and learn from each other but listen to yourself and your instincts first. I am someone who can eat any item I want, doesn't matter if it's a bag of chips, but if I am over that calorie goal, I won't lose. I can eat all fruits and vegetables all day and if I don't stay in my range, doesn't matter, I gain. But I know me, and I know that I got banded for the maintenance portion of my weight lose more than the losing portion.

Good luck everyone!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
