LDS Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I don't currently have trouble with my restriction and the block meetings. I am hungry by the time it's over (9-12) but we go to the 11-2 schedule in a couple of weeks. I still don't think this will mean much since I'll just plan to eat before I go, or I'll take a snack. Frankly, being a teacher is more of a pain with this than church. 30 mins to inhale a lunch....lol, my inhaling days are OVER. Slime & PB are my friend if I go to fast, so, the block is actually pretty good.

Anyway, I'd just take a snack. There's diabetics in the ward I'm sure and just like them, it's a medical condition. (I know, I really am not concerned if folks know I had surgery or not....don't care about other people's opinions all that much...lol)

Good luck.

Annette

That is a good idea... something to nibble on.

I will try that. First I have to find something I won't slime on...and the only thing that I can eat as much as I want and more and don't slime...

Peanut M&Ms....hahahah

I'll have to figure something else out.

If things work out well, by May, we'll be moving somewhere not so out in the middle of nowhere.

Where is the best city to live for post-Lap Band Surgery after care/support?

Hello, and welcome to the world of banding! I am also LDS and was banded in August. I live in Arizona and was banded in Mexico. I have had 2 fills and can tell I am almost ready for the 3rd. I guess there are more LDS bandsters out there than I thought. Good luck on your journey. Sheila

Ok, is anyone as excited as i am that we are learning about Joseph Smith in RS for the nest 2 years! Did you have an introduction to it today? Wow! I am a convert and don't know a lot of details, just the basics and what an Amazing man he was. He died at 38! and changed the world in his few short years. I am so excited for this manual!

well, i won't be in RS,but we are also reading it in PH of course. I remember my first visit here to MO and up to Carthage, and Nauvoo for the open house...Carthage jail was a very powerful place to be. My wife and i were married in Nauvoo temple shortly after.

that's awsome. The most "mormon" place I've been is Salt lake and St. George. And of course all the temples we've been to. Salt Lake has been my favorite so far. The live sessions are amazing!

I was called as an assistant nursery leader just before Thanksgiving, so when I read the note about Joseph Smith I had to ask my hubby if that is the book this year, yep I am just out of the circle being with the kids but I enjoy them.

Teach them about Jesus and Joseph Smith will be fun. I get to teach 'Heavenly Father has a body' next week.

Hi! I am LDS and living in Houston, TX. I was banded on 6/28/07. I'm glad to see other LDS bandsters on here. I am going in for my second fill on Wednesday and can't wait. My weight loss has been at a stand still for the past 6 weeks.

I am still struggling with emotional eating. Does anyone have suggestions? What to do instead of eating for comfort?

I was banded 6/11/07 and I'm down 60 lbs today. I'm really stepping it up and setting a heafty goal for 10 lbs a month until my band-a-versary! I want to be at 175 by 6/11/08. I haven't weighed that much since in 20 years! I'm glad to see there are other members on this board. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself and it's great to share it with others who believe the way I do.

i'm guessing your bishop would say pray and read the scriptures

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
