Hello!

I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there with a blog (like from wordpress or blogger) chronicling their weight loss surgery. I am getting a LapBand so I have a particular interest in blogs from others with the band, but all types of weight loss surgery blogs are still relevant. I've been looking around online for blogs but it seems there aren't many that are current and post regularly. So leave a comment and tell me about your blog or blogs you know of! Thanks :)

Here's a link to my blog, feel free to check it out:

My blog is http://www.shrinking-jeans.blogspot.com I had lap band to RNY Gastric Bypass revision on October 28, 2013, but I've been blogging for a lot longer about my weight loss attempts. :)

I LOVE lapband gal!! Reading her blog is what inspired me to write one myself. I checked out a bunch of her "newly banded blogger" posts and a lot of them have since stopped updating their blogs. Bummer. But I think I might have to email her anyways and let her know how inspirational she is. Thanks :)

I have a blog that gets updated fairly regularly...I started about four months before being banded so it goes through all the thought process involved in this decision. It's on Wordpress and called TheLapbandChronicles (link in my signature below). I hope you will find something helpful and identifiable in my story.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
