Hi! It's been 100 days since my surgery date! I've posted a recap of the days and progress photos on my blog:
http://banderland.weebly.com/100-days-of-lap-band.html

I was hoping to be able to post that I lost a total of 50 lbs pre- and post-, but it's not meant to be! I have plateaued at 49 lbs for a week now!!! I'll take the good with the bad though. Lap-Band has been great to me.

What a great blog! Seriously. Loved reading through your journey. I am so happy for you! Congratulations on all and happy bike riding. Happy everything. So wonderful to reclaim life like this. I also really hovered at the 49 down and wondered if it was psychological or something as it was also aligning for me with the whole Onederland thing. Now I think it was just my body's need to stabilize a little after that almost fifty loss. When it finally went, I lost a pound a day for five days. Whoosh. It is all very exciting.

Thanks for the encouragement! I am happy to read your comment about my body stabilizing. It's a little discouraging to plateau, but I guess it's all part of the journey!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
