Welcome Robyn,

You should try and hook up with Yasmina she was looking for someone from Thunder Bay, it is always great to meet other people who are banded and hang out and see how the journey is going.

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey

Hi Robyn: I am fron the boonies North Vancouver, BC. I can't seem to find many people banded out here so I thought "what the hey, I try and hook up with someone from another province and see how they are making out." Afraid I am an older bandster. 63, retired, married and love to travel. I was 299 when banded and now 268. When my weight goes down, I think the airplane seats will be more comfortable. Doddie

Way to go Dodie- 30lbs is 30lbs. I havent sat in an airplane since oct and even then the seat belt was pretty snug. Hopefully next time it is better. Keep up the good work

Hi everyone. Weighed in this morning and stayed the same all week even though I ate less than a 1,000 calories a day (post op diet still). However never exercised and the scale outed me. LOL, my hubby lost 4 lbs last week and he wasn't dieting just trying not to eat in front of me.

      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!!

      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... :(
