WOW- My own Congrats thread - THANKS ZOE!!!!

It so sweet- I love the feeling you get when its "all about you for the moment"-I feel so special. Its been 2 days now & my MOM is being a great helper & I have definitely needed the help. My shoulder is getting better with each-belch & (well you know-toot) So thats good. Tough in the wiping area- to hard to bend over;0) But the job gets done-LOL LOL LOL I am VERY BRUISED at the port area. Any of you have this ?

Also my stomach feels like a skate boarding ramp- it goes out in areas & than dramtically in in other spots. Will this all flatten away? I hope so- so far it hasn't but I keep it iced has much as possible.

Haven't wanted to eat (drink) anything- so I am really trying to get a Protein clear drink down with some chicken broth tonite.

I love all you guys soo much! Thank you for your thoughts!

Oh also I am purchasing a gift for my self. I have always wanted Jack Lalaines(spelling) Juicer. He just came out with a new version & I am going for it!! Its pricey but I think will be fun to use now & hopefully I will continue to eat more healthy has the year goes bye.

I 'll check back on monday or Tuesday. I hate these white pressure socks- they are not comfortable. But I'll get by!

WHHHOOHOOO everyone!!

Congratulations =)

And please, be careful with the juicer idea. Remember, as a bandster, you want to avoid drinking calories. The whole point of the band is to create a physical barrier that can help you not eat too many calories. If you juice up a bunch of stuff, you'll be able to drink it until the cows come home. And most people don't get any feelings of satiety from drinking liquids.

Again, congratulations, and welcome to bandland =)

      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
