Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor looking for help



Recommended Posts

i was banded october 2007. i had lost 40-45 pounds slowly, then had to have an unfill and have regained 15-ish pounds. i also have had a hysterectomy in the time i was empty. i am having a hard time getting back into things.

i am looking for someone to be accountable to, for advice, support and a good kick in the butt to get me going again.

thank you.

Hi "WSB"- I just returned from my "vacation" from LBT. I was banded a day before you, and we were in the "October" month group together. I know that the weight loss has been a challenge for you since the beginning. Right now I am in a bit of a "slump" myself. But I am refusing to give up and I can see neither have you! We will get to our goals I just know it.

amy- you are right, i have struggled through this. but nothing before compares to the struggles i am having now. i just need to get my head cleared again and my whole being back into this. i know it will work when i am ready to work it. and i want to, i just am not. does that even make sense? i am feeling hopeful today so that is a good thing. i think some of my problem may be hormones. i am going to the doctor today to see about getting them adjusted. seems like i was doing fine with what they had put me on after the hysterectomy and then BAM, hit a brick wall.

my fill is a whopping 3 weeks away! i have to hold out until then. make better food choices. exercise on a more consistant basis. this morning i also got a big kick in the motivational rear! my sister in law started working out yesterday...i have this weird competitive thing w/ her...no excuses now! i cant let her look better then me, haha..but whatever motivates me works for me.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
