1 year bandiversary today



Recommended Posts

Hello All:

I have not posted in a really long time but I wanted to say that I am happy and although I would have lost a lot more if not for the ice cream bad habit, I have to say that I am so glad i had my surgery. I am trying to post pictures of the day of my surgery and what I look like today but never mind that... its the way that I feel that is important right now and... needless to say, aside from the occassional self inflicted pb, I am doing awesome.

Keep on trucking people!

best,

Nilsa:thumbup:

Nilsa 52 pounds in a year is an awesome place to be! My doctor said to expect to lose a pound or two a week and judging by that formula you are right on track.

Congratulations!

You guys are doing really well it will be my one year aniversary of the band on 18sep , i got to watch the oerdoing it on nuts and cheeses, its the night time that gets me after a hectic day, but i have lost 84lbs, and have 14lbs to go, wow hoping to get there by aniversary, but havent been excercising lately as well, but as long as we eventually get there we are all heading in the right direction, and certain we are all starting to look sexy, if not sexier now, we going to make it, and we never going to get fat ever ever again --- oh except if one of you guys gets pregnant, then only momentarily. keep on going ----- down down down we go with the weight, what did you guys get to remember how far you have come?? i am going to buy a piece of jewllery,gosh doesnt time fly, especially when you start feeling good about yourself?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
