My 6-Month Bandiversary, ONEderland, My Victories . . .



Recommended Posts

Hi All! I am happy today because it is my 6-month bandiversary and a few days ago I made it to ONEderland!!!!!!!

Sorry about my crooked toes!

Anyways, I have lost 65 pounds (14 were pre-op diet) and dropped over 10 points on my BMI. I finally weigh less -- and quite a bit less now -- than my husband.

For the most part, I shop at normal clothing stores, but I can still wear the red "1s" at LB and some 14s at LB. Soon, though, very soon, I will be done with LB for FOREVER!

I exercise a lot. I eat small portions. I've only PB'd once -- I was running late and thought I could eat fast. Woops! Never make that mistake again. Overall, it's been going VERY well and I'm soooooooo happy that I got my band!

Thanks for listening and for cheering me on and for answering all the crazy questions I've had in the past months leading up to my band and after I got it. This has been great!

Thank you.

Thanks! Me, too. But, you know . . . if I don't it won't be the end of the world. I'm just super happy to have made it this far and everything from here on out is just sugar-free icing on a carb-free cake! :whatchutalkingabout

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
