Hi Rannah. I used to live in Grand Junction. My family owned the McDonald's that used to be on North Ave across from Wienerschnitzel. Hey, we owned a McDonald's...I'm beginning to sense a connection as to why I needed the band. Hmmm lol

Put me down for - 1.8. I was out of town for a week eating out every meal and stuck in airports for the past 2 days. I think all in all I am very happy with my little loss, better than a gain.

I do feel better about the idea of maintance since I was able to lose this week. I am at my lowest of 194.7 I hope to see the 180's in the next 1-2 weeks.

I am +0.8lbs today, but TOM showed up this weekend so I'm hoping that's the reason. I'm really starting to hate my decision to have the band. Really really really. :blink:

In other news, I know that Munchkin has been AWOL from this thread for quite some time. But, she's flying into town today and staying with me until Thursday. We're going to the Dave Matthews concert on Weds night! I can't wait to meet her finally!!! Perhaps she'll take walks with me this week and get me moving out in the beautiful NC weather!

I am down -2.4 this week. Woohoo!!! Maybe my 6 week long plateau has finally ended! I've lost two weeks in a row.

Jaime, I was just wondering the other night if Munchkin was still coming out to see you. How fun! Give her hugs and kisses from the gang. And you two stay out of trouble . . . yeah, right ;-)

That was a long time ago, that mcdonalds is no longer here but rest assured there are 4 new ones in town ughh. I am doing well but would really like to get rid of this gas pain it gets better every day.

Jamie, Are you keeping track of what you eat on an on-line journal. Is there a way we can see what you are eating and maybe help out?

How is the working out going?

I went to Disneyland and ate like a normal person. +1 for me, but I get my first fill tomorrow. I think the only reason I didn't gain more is because of all the walking I did.

Hi everyone, I am getting banded on Wed. by Dr. K. I am nervous but excited. It sounds like everyone has had great results and that he is a great surgeon.

Hey Peeps!

Dr. K is going to China for three weeks starting the middle of May. They will only be doing fills on Thursdays with Tom. If you think you might need a fill around that time, you better call and make an appt. I think those Thurs. are going to get pretty busy!

      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... :(
