Recommended Posts

Hey everyone..its been awhile since I last posted.. Well currently I am down 55lbs. I havent done the inches part anymore but at last count it was about 16 or so. I am still at 3 fills (8cc). I found a clinic in the USA that is close to home that is willing to do the fills, so next time I need one I will be going there. I have gotten back into a depression and am working on getting out of it. there have been alot of things going on lately in this life of mine. Its been a struggle but I am getting there. Glad to see everyone is doing well, congrats to the newest bandsters!!

Take care.. will be back soon

I am sorry to hear that you have fallen into a depression, I know the feeling and wish you all the best. I have always found that writing has helped me through the depression I have been through. Take care of yourself. I hope the people around you are supportive and give you lots of hugs!!! :)

55lbs and 16"... that is wonderful!!! You have to be very proud of yourself, I know I am!!!

Hi msrobby73: So glad you have touched base with us again. Depression is a hard thing to combat but hopefully the band remained your friend until you wond the battle. I was banded in Feb as well and have lost very little, but the fact my eating patterns are changing and I find that I rarely look to food to console me I feel I have won half the battle. I am now starting to work on exercise program. Hope you are taking on your battles one at at time. Makes them a bit easier to conquer. Where are you getting your fills. I also have that problem.

Hi msrobby, glad you came back. You know that if you need an ear you got plenty hear. Chin up, shoulders back, peepers forward and take one day at a time. There are better days ahead.

Hi MSRobby: Really happy to hear you are back in the ring and fighting the bad guys. Depression is no easy problem to solve but with the "gang" we can all help each other. Doddie

      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? 🤷‍♀️
