Recommended Posts

Yeah, I'm pretty excited, nervous and scared.

I hit disgusted yesterday when I got on the scale and saw the results of my two week long "last meal" binge.

Thanks for making me giggle! I needed that.

KarenK,

Just tell yourself 10 times, "the scale is my friend."

Then take a hammer to it and beat it all to pieces. I promise, it will make you feel better.

At least they made my mother wait in the other room while they forced me on the scale - my size 8 mother who complained the entire way to the doctor's office about the extra 5 pounds left over from her Alaskan cruise she still needs to lose .

Talk to me when it's 105, mother!

Shanna234 - best of luck to you.

Hello Everyone, I am a 65 yr old female that just received notice yesterday that my insurance has approved my lap band, I have a date of Oct. 24, I really need everyone's prayers. I have a liver condition called NASH which has turn into cirrhosis, my gastro dr. advised me to get the proceduer, he said it would help my liver. Has anyone ever heard of this?

any way I need to lose about 45 pounds in order to be a little bit more healthy.

Hi Bradley18! It's nice to meet you! I have not heard of NASH before, and I'm sorry you have it. I bet once you have your surgery and loose the weight you will feel 100% better. My surgery date is October 27th and I am doing it because my PCP pushed me for it. I'm only 33 though, I bet you will feel like a kid again (no offense) :thumbup:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
