Looking for Lap-Band buddies in Florida!!!



Recommended Posts

Is Bent Oak right next to Whispering Winds off Apopka Blvd???? Because that is where I live, it sounded very familar. No... Chilis sounds great to me! I have been isolated in the house, not meeting people and not making new friends for far too long now.This will be good for me. I 'm kind of nervous that I will come across as really boreing since I am disabled and don't work anymore and I have no kids or significant other anymore. No scrapbooking hobbies. Yawn! Geeze I bore me! Ha! But ya know sometimes ya gotta say.....What the Hell...and try anyway and thats what I am going to do! So let's try to get together and see whats up in LapBand Land in our neck of the woods!

I'm going to St. Augustine with my friends from work tmo, but maybe we could get coffee Saturday morning. You gotta think of your band as your own personal power tool to get what you really want. Has it been x rayed for proper placement lately? Deb

Deb, I am really sorry but I have had something very unexpected come up and I am going to need a rain check. My sister and brother in law from WPB are coming in to surprise my Dad { we live together} for the day! I was really looking forward to meeting you and possibly Melody. Let's see if we can get our rain check in before Xmas, that way we each get a new friend as a present to ourselves! Ho Ho Ho!

Key West and the lower keys, their are a number of us that have had WLS we get to group up and compare notes sometimes. We will go to Outback Steak House and invite unbanded others to eat the leftovers. We have fun. New people are welcome. I was a leftover eater for several years.

I will post the next social when it is set-up. We have a nervious pre-band person in Steve. He and his wife own and run Boston Bricks on Stock Island. He is looking for information and help to calm his nerves.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
