Hello ya'll from Tampa. As my ticker says, I was banded in May and although I have not updated my weight loss ( I'm waiting for the official weigh-in at next fill) I think I doing pretty well. All I keep thinking is ...why the heck did I wait so long to do this?!

Good luck to all and I hope we can all keep in touch.

Hey ya'll! I was signing on to see how everyone weathered the storm too! We were very blessed and didn't get hit to hard! Yesterday brought a lot of tornados and a lot of places close got hit but again...we were very blessed! The creepy part is when you look out at the docks and they are under water! The whole flipping thing! ( we live off the St. John's river)

Hey good -Luck to those getting ready to get the band! It id very exciting I know!

For those who already have the band keep up the GREAT work! We so deserve this!

I have been bad about checking this thread but promise to do so daily! lol Seems I get so side tracked sometimes.

Ya'll have a great one !!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
