You have spent a lifetime avoiding cameras and can't find any pictures of yourself at your heaviest weight, yet now you take a picture of yourself on a weekly basis so you can see if you look different.

WOW...this really struck a nerve. This is so true..my husband I have been together for almost 17 years (dating/married) and I have probably a handful of pictures us together and my son is now almost 3 and I only have about 5 or 6 pictures of him and I together. I can't wait to get pictures with my son....he is the reason I'm banding. I LOVE THESE POSTS

When finding out that you have moved from morbidly obese to obese and then waiting, waiting until you can finally, be categorized as just overweight. I CANNOT wait to be overweight, I am soooo close - imagine that - only bandsters get it!

I didn't go through all the pages so this has probably been mentioned at least once:

1. When your spouse takes you out for dinner and calls you a cheap date since you share his/her meal

2. You still have left overs from the shared meal

      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! 😞
