Hi there every one and happy Labor Day! I have always loved the energy of autumn -- full of possibility. A time to buckle down. And this year having September start off with a Monday is giving me the framework I need get back on track with a little more organization and discipline. I have been a little lackadaisical lately. Too much socializing, too much grazing. I'm happy where I am size-wise for the first time in so many years, but I'm not settling for this. I think I needed to just be with my last loss for a while, to stabilize emotionally, but now I'm ready for the next drop. So here's to a new week, a new month, a fun summer in the rear view mirror and now committing to the next step. I made it into the eighties and now need to get into the seventies. Onward!

Hi Bandsters!

I just took a bike ride. My knees are p!$$3d off but the rest of me is ecstatic.

Being able to chug up a hill without panting is priceless. Being able to coast down a hill is exhilarating.

My personal goal for September is to feed my soul. I'm going to start a thread on the general forum for this.

By the way, this Banders #6 thread definitely feeds my soul. :)

Hello everyone and Happy Labor Day.

Carolina Girl wanted me to tell everyone she won't be blogging for a while, her mother passed away. That is all the details I know.

Have a great week.

Arlene

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
