Happy Vet's Day To Us Too!



Recommended Posts

Hi, in about 2 more days, i will be 1 year out a bandster. I know this has nothing to do with serving our country. But it does have a lot to do with serving ourselves. Our struggles, the ups and downs. Daily struggles, which anyone who doesn't have a weight issue, has no idea, what we go through.

So, high five to all us, who have decided to accept the band, accept that we needed help to become more healthy. Continue to be strong, and stay strong. This is our own personal war which we fight for life.

(please, do not be offended that i used Vet's Day to shout out to us all. That was not my intent. As for myself, I am a US Veteran and thought we should also recognize ourselves, today and everyday. Good luck everyone today and in the future.)

happy veterans day to my banded sistas and brothas

hope all the vets had a great day.....it was and is a special day for our country...my parents were both army (my dad served 3 terms in vietnam) and my 2 brothers were in the 82nd Airborne and Rangers respectively..i married an air force guy (still am for 29 yrs) and he retired out at 25 yrs and now my gorgeous son is serving in england with the air force.....

just this past weekend, my ole man's mc rode in 2 parades and i was the most proud (not at seeing his sexy self) but at seeing all the flags and all the people standing up and saluting or putting their hands over their hearts as the flags marched down the street...

respect america.....love it and be thankful......i sure am

      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! 😞
