So happy.

I am a healthy weight, I am super fit, I love my running and I do it now for the love of it, not to lose weight. I can shop anywhere, and although I'd like to lose a tad more, I think I look pretty darn good for a mother of 3. I certainly dont feel out of place as a 40 year old student amongst a bunch of 20 year olds at uni, I can dress young, and I look and feel young.

I havent had to give up any food, I can eat out without any worries at all, the worst thing that happens to me is eating too fast or occasionally feeling compelled to clear my plate, when even one mouthfull too much can REALLY be too much. I have only vomited once in 15 months of being banded and really, it was the BEST thing I have ever done for myself! The band that is, not the vomiting, lol.

I posted a poll a while back that asked "would you do it again?" and out of 137-something respondents, 97% said YES. Most of those said YES, YES, A MILLION TIMES YES!!

You can see the comments if you go to the general discussion forum and look back about 3-4 pages.

Wow Jack! Sounds like you just decribed a Day In A Life of me, All the Meds, Injections, Eye Surgeries, and the list goes on... I can't wait to get Banded, 10 more Days!

I know what you mean Lady, I read the same, but the Good things I read far exceed the Bad! Just Keep a Positive Attitude!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
