Newly banded



Recommended Posts

Happyhayley15 - I meant the shy stuff for you. :embarassed:

Hey Donna, I will be banded on 9-28. I am starting out at 221. Not too far above you before the band. I am a therapist, for sexually abused children. I saw in your profile that you are going to school for psychology. Just wanted to touch base since it seems we have stuff in common. I live in Auburn, AL. We are both southern girls too! I am very excited about getting banded. I will go to Mexico. Write back if you want

Donna, there are so many ways of being smart. Life experience counts. Your comments and suggestions have always been so wisely put, and so helpful. I know you were really just joking, but don't sell yourself short!

Hi Lisa,

Pat in Markham here. Did Dr. Yau do your surgery? That's who I had and I'm doing good. Will get my first fill on the 24 of Sept.

Thank you Lisa, that was so sweet of you to say.

Will I meet you at the Sept 16 lunch at the Sierra Grill at the Bayview Village Mall?:hungry:

It dosn't seem that long ago that I was a "virgin" too (Donna you made me laugh!)

I quess I am a FILL VIRGIN as I just got my top up yesterday at TBLC

Everything went well, and I am eating ever so gently today... Scrambled egg at 6 a.m. and now a Pudding/w Pro. powder...

I am looking forward to tuna salad at lunch (can't beleive I am looking forward to fish?) but the more experienced bandsters say fish is tolerated well and is moist.

Getting in all the Water is tricky, as I am used to just Chugging it all down. Oh well, lots of NEW habits to learn for us all.

Good luck on your journey, and post often...

I love coming onto this site. as it keeps BOTH my hands busy [wink, wink] and my computer is far away from the fridge LOL :heh:

Oh Donna, my weight is not melting off...

my 240 start wgt is NOT what I started at in my Band Journey.

I had lost the first chunk (lol) by WW, Hypnosis, Meridia, excersise etc. but then after a whole year of plateauing I got scarred that I was going to put my 50 back on plus more!(again, like I've always done in the past)

So that's when I made up my mind to do the Lap band once and for all,

so in my signature, you'll see 240/190ish/ my current wgt today/ and my goal of 130...

So there you have it in a nutshell

      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? 🤷‍♀️
