Reminiscing...



Recommended Posts

Donali- you are the best :-)

That does bring back memories- and puts it in perspective, doesn't it? It seems like I've been banded my whole life until I read that. It's interesting to see the juxtaposition of my old post with my current weight loss stats.

I was so scared I was going to fail with the band...and here I am with a totally new life because of it. I have a new living arrangement, a new guy (yippeee) and a new direction for my business...all because my success with the band has given me the confidence to take risks and know that I'll be ok.

I love seeing all the posts from the old timers- we were all so new back then!!! We've all been through so much together it fills my heart every time I check in here. The terrible accident that took away Blossom really reminded me how close I feel to all of you here and I just don't know what I would do without any of you.

Donali- I so often think of you and how hard it must be to not have your band, yet your constant presence helping and directing others here is so valuable I'm glad you've had the strength to stay with us. You are such a cheerleader I wonder sometimes who is your cheerleader when you get down. "Just call my name, and you know where ever I am...I'll come runnin'...yeah yeah yeah just to see you again..." I'm serious...you need anything...you know where to find me.

I'll step away from the Karaoke machine now.

I love you guys!

Megan

wow - it's weird to read that....I remember feeling like that too!! The weirdest thing about it is that I was so scared that the band wasn't going to work for me and reading all the posts from the vets. What a difference a year can make. I'm like you Meghan - I feel like I've been banded my whole lie. But it's not that - it's just we have a whole NEW life!!! By the way - does anyone know whatever happened to Leo??

      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! 😞
