I would also be interested in getting intouch with you ladies. I am 29 I am married have two kiddos 5 and 4. I live in Chicago. I have 100 pounds to loose. I just got the lap band last Thursday I am going to give this my all. I want to lose the weight to be healthier! I'm so young and I have so much to look forward to. I am disappointed in my self that I gave up. But I realized that I could change that I didn't have to be limited on the things I could do like fitting in a seat or going to an amusement park with my family and not worrying if ill fit in the seats and deal with the embarrassment that I cause not only myself but my family too. I need someone to be there for me that is going through the same thing I am because no matter how supportive my family can be they don't really understand what I'm going through. I promise ill be super supportive, active and always there for you. Send me a message if you are interested. Thanks.

I'm 29, married and have two kids. I was banded jan 22. I need to lose a total of 85 pounds. As of now I'm down almost 17. What about starting a group chat through whatsapp?

I have no idea what WhatsApp is... I am about to search for it though. How do we find each other on it?

It's an app. I think we need to add each other by phone number. It works better for me because I'm living in Israel. It's free for all of us.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
