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 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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
