Fanny, I've decided that I'm going to take my "mo skin" photos at my one year bandiversary. That's Feb. 22nd.....so give me until then. I'm thinking that I might PM or Email whoever wants to see. That way, I'm hitting a happy medium between full disclosure and foisting unwanted pics on innocent bystanders, LOL.....I don't expect them to be pretty.

I'm still unsure about posting anything "in public" on here.

Count me in! :lol:

Do like She did and post for a few days and then take them down/off.

Ok, I'll wait until then, I guess... *taps foot impatiently*

It is hard stuff.

Yes it is.

They have an operation that reroutes your insides and minimizes your stomach, but the stomach is an organ that can stretch -- just like we can stretch our pouches if we do bad things.

But most of the time, the ones who do this haven't actually stretched their pouch. Like that guy on The Biggest Loser.

his master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Qui-Gon was HAWT!

Exactly! Paranoia is welcome here fortunately :cursing:

On the talk of slips...they don't necessarily mean that you will lose your band if you don't try to persevere with it and actually listen to your body. My band slipped a little last year and I was completely unfilled after a night of vomiting in the ER (I couldn't even keep Water down). I gained a little weight (15-20 pounds), but once I got my fill back to a normal level (I slipped because I was overfilled--I was fine though for 4 months with that fill level and then BAM! couldn't keep a thing down, it was very strange), it dropped straight off in a matter of weeks. I guess the moral of the story is, manage with as little fill as you can while you are still losing....then you're likely to not have to deal with the PITA that a slip is. Just my (experienced) 2 cents :lol:

Is it Friday yet?

shaving my head: Oh HELL no (medical complications notwithstanding). My hair's fine but it's kind of a security blanket plus I have a majorly round face so shoulder-length hair helps my face look a little less round!

PJTP - I've got to call my doc b/c I am seriously way too tight. I almost PB'd at lunch and I went to dinner tonight and maybe got done 6-8 bites of a caesar salad. Ugh! I got up to PB but the walking made it OK.

I have stupidly long hair right now, its about 2/3 down my back. I've never had it this long before and my friends actually call me Repunzel LOL. I think it makes my still round face look less round too....I love it!

A friend of mine shaved her head for fundraising for a cancer charity....she looked hotter with a buzz cut than she does WITH hair...and guys loved it for some reason!

Too tight is bad. Just get a teensy bit out and you'll feel brand new again, trust me!

Ahh, it's all good. I am always amazed at how quickly some people jump to the "just because YOU couldn't do it, doesn't mean I can't!" line. Yep. And you don't think any less of people who get banded do you dearie?

Ahh. She will learn. Hopefully not. Perhaps she WILL be part of the between 5 and 20 % of people who can lose wight and keep it off without WLS. I hope for her sake she is.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
