I just wanted everyone to know how thankful I am for you. Although I don't "know" any of you. You have been my biggest supporters during my journey. I love to read the post even if I don't respond. I especially like to thank Carolinagirl,hazelbliss, mis and go walking ... And a few others whose screen makes escape me right now. Dam I phone won't let me toggle ... Mostly everyone here has been wonderful and supportive. Some have posted my same concerns or worries and Victories which just encourages n helps me more. Getting banded on July 1,2013 was the best decision of my life. Everything has changed in a positive way not just my weight n how I look but I have changed as well. Although I'm cautious entering this holiday season. I will get through it and be successful. This band was the tool I needed most. With my clean eating n work out schedule goal is within my reach in the next year or so time frame not as important as reaching that destination. Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have encouraged and taught me and will continue to do so along this new phase of becoming the new healthier me :)

Thankful for you :)

I was banded on 11/28/11. I recall my first 30 days through the holidays and fortunately I had the post surgery instructions to keep me in line. Then Holidays 2012 came along and I gained about 6 lbs but right after the holidays it came off. I think it was mostly just some Holiday fluids clinging on.

But, this wonderful band of mine reminds me to eat healthy so it's been the best thing I've done for myself in decades. I just need to steer clear of those snickerdoodling friends and neighbors who secretly want to sabotage my journey :ph34r: :wub:

Congrats and Happy Holidays!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
