Hi all,

My name is Andy.

I am 27 and am from the mornington peninsular in victoria Australia.

I was banded 9 months ago at a weight of 149 kgs and am now down to 112 kgs. My first goal was 115 kg and am now shooting to get under 100.

The band has changed my life so much.

It has helped me gain confidence and show me i can do anything i put my mind to. I had battled with my weight loss for 5 years before i decided to get some help before i got to 30.

It has made me aware of how important a healthy lifestyle with good eating and exercise is.

So much so that i am now studying to become a personal trainer and i am going to specialise in people that have been long term obease or that have had surgery for weight loss. I am giving up an 8 year career with Qantas to do this and am commited to helping others to make it work for them.

I am very motivated and look forward to sharing my journey and helping others along the way.

Drop me a line at Spaldo2@hotmail.com if there is anything you would like to talk about or ask me.

Andy

      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! 😞
