Lap, It's You, Mal and Me, Babes! We'll be on the losing end next week. You did well taking into consideration your situation. The good thing about the Lap Band is that -- it's forgiving and it's always there when you fall off the 'bandwagon' - it allows you to pick yourself back up -- hop aboard and ride into the sunset of good health!:( I knew there was a banana riding on something!

Shelbi, You're right! We are much farther than we were just 10 months ago! I think to myself, I weighed 458lbs just 10 months ago! That's a lot! Almost 500lbs! I can't believe I was still walking around! I don't think I'd be alive long at that weight... and I know I couldn't have continued working full-time.

My life has improved greatly by this little device called the Adjustable Gastric Lap Band and I have Dr. K to think for that!

Denise, I lost my father 14 years ago and I miss him everyday. He'd be proud of me for my success. He mentioned WLS years ago and I remember just ignoring him. Your Mom would be so proud of you and your accomplishments. We both can honor their memory by continuing on the road to good health.

Hugs All My Sweet Banditos!

Happy Saturday!

dee~

Dee, you are so right. I'm glad that you realize how far you've come and what an important thing you've done. And I'm sure your father is very proud of you.

Adorkable - luv your license plate. It's fantabulous.

Hey, can you tell those people at your work to quit bringing in all the sweets? Could they bring in hummus and pita or something? Geez . . . I don't know what I'd do if I had that much temptation at work all the time. That has to be really tough.

Lap Dancer~ where did you find that really great website??? Not just really cheap shipping...did you see the prices of the Protein supplements? WOW!!! I can get the Optimum Nutrition all whey Gold Standard for about half of what I can get it for here in the Springs. And...they have the IDS Protein Vials! Puts those at about 2.60 a piece with the shipping.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing! :(

Well Forest!

You're in good company! Lap and myself! And Sweet Mal lost inches but no pounds -- BUT the lucky girl didn't gain! I bet it was riding her bike in the dark last night that did it! Maybe I should turn the light off in my living room and ride my bike in the dark tonight!

TOM is dreadful! I hate TOM! My TOM has been strange too.

I knew I didn't want to weigh this morning when I saw that my hands were swollen and my ankles and feet were puff-a-lumps. (Remember those dolls, the puff-a-lumps?)

I appreciate that you weighed and posted Woofay! It was hard for me to post that gain, but I'm glad I did. I'm human and my weight fluctuates almost daily that way -- it's the trend that matters most! Right?

Life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get.

Gotta go now!

Bye~!

      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!!
