CG poked me, so I thought I would just take a minute and check in.

Just a tad shy of two years with Mistress Band, My weight has been rock steady for over a year now, and although I wouldn't mind dropping another 10-15 pounds I am very comfortable where I am at, Still riding bikes, although they are put away for the winter. But I have never been able to complete a century yet, something always seems to get in the way. This year it was prostate cancer and the surgery came right in the middle of my prime riding time, but both the prostate and the cancer are gone, with no lasting health concerns.

I am dealing with the winter muchies, and have been having extreme carb cravings for the last couple of weeks since the cold set in. Fall allergy season was no fun, Mistress Band is real pissy when there are large amounts of mucous entering my stoma. Aside from that I am dealing with a flooring remodel at my house that makes me want to cry.

Sorry no home improvement projects here.

But... I had my check up w/ the doc in San Jose Glad to hear 8 years ago, the band I had implanted was improved from previous models. He said it could stay forever. Yippee just knowing it is there helps... And a bonus was I lost over 5 lbs since I saw him earlier this year. Wasn't expecting that.

Except I was chasing a ball down the street a couple weeks ago and my pants fell down. That has NEVER happened in my life!!!

In my former life I couldn't wait to undo my pants!! (Bought a smaller size today)

Great to see your update, Terry. Glad your health is great and the floor is done. I, too am dealing with the holiday munchies and not being as active. 'Tis the season, lol! I don't get on here as much, but I'm still maintaining +/- 5 lbs of goal, so band life is good, eh? :-)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
