I would love to show my face but since I have a high profile job with a bunch of geek computer people I can only imagine the fun things they could do with my picture. I have also not told anyone at my work that I have gotten it done and when they ask I say low carb. If I knew for a fact back in December it would have worked for me I would have been more vocal but since I was an out of pocket LBer I didn't want to take that chance and look like a fool. The only time it bothers me to "lie" or keep my personal life personal is when an obese friend ask me how I did it. I feel bad because this surgery has been so wonderful for me and I want to give him the advice.

LivingTheDream,

I am sure it was a very personal decision to not tell anyone and none of us judge you for that. I wasn't sure who I was going to tell for a long time...but figured it would keep me more accountable...but that is me.

Maybe when an obese friend says something you can share your calorie intake, your exercise goals, and your new eating style with them. All the bandster rules without calling them that. The lifestyle change is possible without the band, it just is easier with it. Maybe that would help??

You look awesome though! Great job!

Thanks! I do feel really good! I've found that coming here on a regular basis as well posting and being accountable. Find a group that will keep you in step. It really does help.

I think I could be further along had I really paid close attention to my exercise but I quit and now I've got to start over on it. Do it daily....no excuses. I found excuses for the last 20 years and that's why I needed the band in the first place. It's time for me to put them away and get with the program. With exercise you could be at goal in a year....without, doubtful.

Goodluck an keep coming back! Stay active here. It has been a Godsend for me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
