Three-year bandiversary!!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations Alexandra - truly amazing and inspiring. I was looking at the collage, scrolling back and forth trying to see YOU in some of the earier pictures. My husband caught me scrolling up and down, right and left, and asked me what I was doing, so I showed him the pictures. THEN HE STARTED SCROLLING UP AND DOWN, RIGHT AND LEFT. LOL We were both completely moved and awestruck by the power of the band and the sheer will to succeed!

Happy Bandiversary! And many more.

AWESOME.

What an incredible achievement, Alexandra.

And the photos tell a remarkable story of your journey. You are inspiring to many, many Bandsters.

Man, when I think of how much weight I would have gained in 3 yrs if unbanded, then it makes me even more grateful.

Congrats again.

And those beautiful kids! That little boy of yours looks like a model for a Hummel figurine.

Hee hee! That little boy of mine is named Catie! :cool: Guess we have to let her hair grow a bit longer and break out the pink clothes. :) :biggrin1:

It's so good to see someone who has had their band and not had it removed because of problems! I hope to have mine in for the rest of my 50+years of life to live!!

You are always so caring, and kind to the members here. I can only describe you are classy and now seeing your pictures also beautiful inside and out. I am proud to know you and have you as a fellow bandster. Congrats on the weightloss but most important on gaining your life. You and the kids all look so much happier in the second set of pictures. ~Mandy

Well done on the 3yr Alex.

You look so much more alive in your pics (enough of a change that even this blind man saw it!).

      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! 😞
