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.

      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! 😞
