My Time to Shine!!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, :wink2:

I have been a member of this forum before i even knew i was having the surgery, but something inside me told me it was going to happen.. and it did!!! I just had surgery this past monday 8-25-08 and have been healing well. I am a little sore but i am soaring in the sky knowing that i have so many goals and soon nothing can stand in the way of them!! I topped out at 608 pounds, and at the time of surgery i weighed 583. Any tips or ideas suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated!

I am really just so happy to know there is a place where people can get together and chat about this. :smile:

I am going to keep exploring, keep being faithful, and definetly know that everything will be wonderful and healthy here on out!!!

Thanks Briana:thumbup:

You go girl!! Just stay as positive as you are right now and you will do great. I am so proud of you. I will have my surgery on 9-26. Glad to hear you are not to sore. I have never had surgery and am a little worried.

Hey you started your new journey on my birthday, so we kinda have the same birthday now!! :smile:

Congratulations and welcome! It's great to see someone close to my age who has a lot to lose (like I do) and has already started on their journey. I've found a lot of info and support in this forum so far, and I am still working toward getting banded myself. I especially liked the forums for people in their twenties, and the one for how much weight you have to lose. It was comforting knowing that these people were coming from where I am at and that they were facing issues that I have concerns about.

Again, welcome and WOOHOO!

Welcome Bri82! It's nice to see another larger lady around here (I started at 405)!!! We'll be at it a little longer than our fellow bandsters who have less to lose than we do (well, at the weight loss portion of banding anyway)....hope to see you "around"

      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.
