Living life and loving my band!!!



Recommended Posts

I am transitioned back onto "normal" foods and doing great. Eating 1/2 cup portions and finding this is all coming very naturally now. I automatically set aside or throw away half my food and eat a band size portion and feel satisfied. I know the band is still new to my body but I can honestly say this is the best decision I ever made for myself! Scheduled for my first fill at the end of the month but not so sure I need one since I am losing steadily and am satisfied. Guess we will see.

Yippee! Just what I'm hoping for -- smooth and easy, not obsessive but just a new way.

That sounds awesome I hope that I am able to manage that well also! I am still on liquids so I am struggling to keep my caloric intake up.

i passed on my first fill and honest to goodness the next day i was starving. Think long and hard before you pass. I just got my third fill and i think that was the magic one. Good luck ladies.

I doubt I will pass on it, just depends on what the doc says. I am losing about a 1/2 to a full pound a day. So nice and steady.

Never pass on a fill until you are in the green zone. Took me 4 post op fills to get into the green. 8 months 90 pounds and loving it.

Isn't the green zone being full for 4 hours on 1/2 of food?

      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! 😞
