Hey yall!!! I'm Apples y'all probably know of me by now LOL!! I am 20 yrs old I live in NJ currently originally from Mississippi but I have moved alot in my day LOL SC, GA (atlanta), MD, and not here. I am married I have been with hubby for 3 1/2 yrs... only been married for the half 6 months of marriage. He is an army man. I love his guts LOL! Eventhough sometimes I wanna kill him and bring him back to life but all and that's my baby!! I currently a Pharmacy Technician went to school for a yr for this trade also I am a psych major (I am currently taking a break from school right now alot has been going on and my hubby was stationed in TX so I am moving there like 2 months after surgery) I ultimately want to be a child psychologist so I will go back to school once I get to TX. No kids yet have to get myself healthy first so I will be a cute pregnant chick. I'm here to make friends and support. I am 20 yrs old now and I wanna start my new era off sexy and fit. i dont wanna be fat on my 21st birthday!!! It really hurts to excel in every other thing I have done in my life except this. My parents were tough on my I always had straight A's on school and miss Smarty Pants in my books but whne it comes to this :) !! So I just pray, hope, and wish that the band will be the key to unlock this ball and chain called my weight! Thanks for read LOVE 2 ALL!!

Hey, I'm Janie, 26, Southwest Virginia (GO HOKIES!). Anyway, I was banded on December 11th, and am beginning to be very discouraged. I feel like I could eat a house. Not just a trailer, or a double wide, but a mansion. I'm famished. I lost 24 lbs, but am now gaining some of it back since I've been off my liquid diet. I haven't had a fill yet, and I am eating about.....50-75% of what I ate before my surgery! Please tell me this will change. I am worried that I am stretching my pouch! I am feeling NO discomfort, NO nausea, NO anything! I need some encouragement please!

Janie, don't worry, it will definitely change! It may not change with your first fill, but you'll definitely start losing again once you get decent restriction.

Aww Apples your surgery date is my one year bandiversary. Good luck!

I'm Stacy, 27, future skinny bitch. I already have the second half of that down, just have to work on the first. I'm sassy and blunt to the point of rudeness. My likes include napping and working out (not necessarily in that order) and my dislikes include menstral cramps.

Skinny bitch is my nickname around work.

I think I mentioned getting a t-shirt made with that. Of course I work with all size 0 (and shrinking) women, and I'm still overweight.. but skinny bitch nonetheless!

my name is lindsay and Ive got 25 years under my shrinking belt. I go to school in Indiana and have been managing the greatest sports bar for 4 years now. before banding I gave up fried food and drinking which is not super easy considering the place I work 40plus hours a week.

nice to meet all of you.

Hi all,

I am Solaa and I am 29. I was banded 11/1/2007. I have so far lost 25lbs. I am a slow loser but I am O.K with it becuse I know it will be long term this time around. I too am looking forward to having babies and being a "skinny bitch" or a "preggo cute chick" some day.

I work out five times a week, two days with a trainer, and what I have noiced helps me with the head hunger, is exercise.

I love shopping and sleep...not in that order, but either order is five with me.

Nice to meet all of you...

Solaa

Hey I am Catie I am 28. I live in Kuwait, originally from Atlanta GA! I was banded on the 24th of Nov. I have only lost 10lbs, 14 on a good day. I got my first fill a week ago today and so far no restriction. I am married to the love of my life, we met when I was 21 and have been married 3 yrs last month. Our son Isaiah is 3 1/2, hope for more once I lose weight. I am currently 230lbs started at 240.2 I am 5"7.

I am totally interested to know what y'all are doing? I read about south beach on a thread and may do it but did y'all diet first or just smaller portions on sensible foods? A bit unnerved right now! I need some tips. I posted a thread about samples of meal plans so please ladies and gents lemme know! Congrats to your amazing success and God bless!

I live in a smaller town called Dunn, I think it's about 30 minutes from Raleigh. We moved there because my husband was transfered by his company. We only lived there for about 5 months, but I really liked it there.

Hi Georgia Girl,

I know where Dunn is. One of my friends from college was from there. I'm glad you are liking it. What part of GA are you from? I have been going to Roswell for my fills.

      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... :(
