Banded 3/20/07 Down 60 pounds :)



Recommended Posts

HI Folks,

I have not posted in a while but wanted to update everyone on my progress. I am loosing slower than some but am pleased with my weight loss of 60 pounds in 9 months. I also quit smoking on May 5th, and am still smoke free, too!!!!

I have only had 2 fills. My stoma is a little sensitive to eating any food early in the day and lunch is a hit and miss. I do not eat meat very often, but do get plentry of Protein with nuts and cheese. I eat more comfortably at night. Stress is the #1 factor in how my lap band works on a daily basis. When stressed, it is difficult to eat anything other than Soup, but then again, I try to eat what is nourishing to my body and what satisfies me.

So, as far as I am concerned.....I would go to Dr. Kuri in Tjuana tomorrow in a heartbeat to have this procedure done again and am so grateful to not be weighing 258 pounds this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

Trana, that is Soooo good to hear! Congratulations! I have always been a slow loser, and while I only have 60 lbs left to lose, I know it will take me 9 months or more. That is ok, 'cuz I know it isn't coming back - I can't eat nearly as much as I could pre-band. So glad to hear of your success. :clap2:

Trana, I see you get fills in Chattanooga....I lived in Rossville, Ga for awhile and loved it - you actually have seasons! In Austin, there are 2 seasons....hot hot summer and a springy fall with a little ice thrown in once in awhile.

Actually, you don't seem to be a slow loser to me, I was banded march 5 and have only lost 42lbs since then. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have them gone, but it would be nice to have 60lbs gone!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
