Recommended Posts

here we go! tomorrow at 330 my lapband journey of disappointment will end. its been 5 yrs of hell and i have to admit im a little nervous but im also hopeful. i have a new surgeon and a new hospital. i believe the outcome will be much better than the band. this time around i kind of know what to expect. ive had my bag packed for 2 weeks now (think im a little anxious?!) i got my home in order so i wont have the compulsion to clean every 5 mins. , i even got a new sectional sofa to heal on as i cant sleep well in a bed now. the treadmill is set in the livingroom so when i need to walk i can hold on to something and set the pace. i have all the protein/liquids/creamys. got the nails done and facial. all my support people are waiting. hubby and my daughter are ready theyve been through the worst of this trek with me, im so grateful for them and so grateful i didnt have to do it alone. as a support he will do the liquid stage for a couple of days only because he doesnt think he can do it, but will do the creamys and up right along with me. it is so different this time.while im nervous thats to be expected im also excited, i have an incredible surgeon, a fabulous N.U.T, and an amazing therapist who is helping me deal with the mental addiction i have had with food since childhoood. food you are no longer my friend, lover, mother, nuturer you can go now. Ok Creator, im pulling the "ask, believe, receive" card. i know you hear me and will answer. so grateful! will keep my new friends on here posted!

Thrilled for you. I am sure you are gonna do great!

I cannot wait to get rid of my lapband, too. I had a horrific experience at lunch with friends on Sunday. food just sat in my chest, then it became clear it was coming back. It was awful, awful, awful.

July 9 is my day. In the meantime, you keep the bench warm for us!

ty for all of our words of encouragement due to horrible circumstances i couldnt get sleeved too many horrors inside from my other surgeon. they did manage to get the band out even though it was pus covered. i am a total mess inside at the moment and must heal before i can get sleeved.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
