Don't ever let anyone tell you "you can't do this" ...not even yourself. I am the perfect example of the band being a TOOL not an easy way out. I struggled like hell to slim down and still do. I still have to count calories and go to the gym. I have days where I am tired. I have days where I am hungry. And I have times where the scale fluctuates. But I'm never giving up! To anyone that thinks the band is an easy fix, it's not. I thought maybe it would be too. But after my initial weight loss from surgery, I realized it was not enough. I lost 80 total and I can say only about 30 was a result of surgery. But it gave me the drive to press on. To eat better, and gave me the confidence to get in the gym. Please message me if you have any questions, especially related to nutrition or workouts. I would love to help on your journey. I'm still on mine :)

Congratulations and continued success. I'm over 4 years out as well and it is still not easy. We still have to watch what and how much we eat. It is a weekly sometimes daily struggle. Anyway, keep up the great work.

We have an expression in our house, "these human bodies!" I don't think I had any idea what is really required for maintaining a healthy body. For any one, fat or slim. If it's not one thing it's another -- dentist, eye doctor, PT exercises, skin care regime, the regular exercise, etc. Thank goodness I got my band as I'm so much healthier going into middle older age (eek!).

Hey, well done on your journey. Your looking great. I am hoping to book to have the band fitted in Poland. And wanting to get any advise in terms of real experiences people have had after surgery. How long to recover and till you start seeing result. I have done endless research but sometimes feel I'm reading the same things. Would be nice to hear from others who have been through the surgery

      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! 😞
