Hi I was banded on 9/11/07 and I have had a lot of set backs due to surgery of removing my gallbladder and being diagnosed with NASH a liver disease. All of which is related to my weight. My starting weight was 236 at the time of surgery I lost 16 lbs after surgery but then the weight krept back. i am finally at a place where i am serious about losing weight for good. i have a 10cc vanguard band and right now i have a 8.2cc fill in it. I am so excited because i have lost 5lbs since my fill 3 days ago. Giving up food has been really hard. it was my best friend my whole life. My way of coping with everything. There are times when i wish i could eat a big hamburger and fries but i know that feeling will pass. I am looking forward to losing more and hopefully getting my health back on track. Thanks for reading!

Welcome! I would suggest that you head over to the mental health section and post a thread about how you are coping with food. And congratulations on that 5lb loss. You are on your way!!

hey anew. I am from texas as well. We are close to the same age. My surgery weight was 242. We seem to have some things in common, and our screenames mean the same thing. Kinda cool I thought. You know, I still want a hamburger and fries. For me, it's not about not being able to have things. When our family eats hamburgers I fix the hamburger just without the bun, then I eat very slowly, and I have been known to eat 1 or 2 fries. It is not about doing without completely, just modifying what has been routine for so long. Best wishes to you!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
