All Ready for a New Me and a New Life!



Recommended Posts

Well after 6 months of Doctor visits, Blood tests and a 14 Day PreOp liquid diet. I go into surgery to get banded tomorrow.

After all the failed diets, fad diets, pills and everything else I have tried. "And I have tried them all"

It is time for a new beginning and a new me.

I was thinking last night how being overweight had kept me captive in my own body. Watching my kids grow up and not being able to run in the park with them, sit comfortably in a movie next to them, even go to amusement parks only to be told I was too heavy to ride some attractions.

This all comes to an end tomorrow. With my new weightloss "Tool" and am now ready to take on the world and everyone in it.

Hope to all speak to you later on this week!

You summed up all the reasons why I made the same choice you did to get my lap band. Come on 2015 all the things we will be able to do:) Don't be nervous the procedure is not that bad. Take it easy for the first few days but then get moving to get rid of the gas. It will make you feel so much better. Good luck and see you on the other side!

      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! 😞
