What a lovely surprise to find this message! Yes, it's been a year. I've been absorbed in too many other issues lately to do much serious reflection on the band, but I'll check in soon. Thanks!

Aww Zoe thanks for all your wit and wisdom along this journey. You are such an inspiration to us all.

Oh and by the way, love the boot kicker too.

I think I'm gonna cry! I've been looking at the half-empty side of life lately (must be all those screwed-up hormones), and sometimes I forget where I was 12 months ago: not only 65 pounds heavier, but with high blood pressure, joint trouble, problems walking without getting winded, not to mention a sense of hopelessness about my weight. But, thanks in part to the wonderful people at LBT whose posts I read before taking the big step, I wasn't quite ready to resign myself to a (short) lifetime of total fatness. Maybe I haven't lost as much as I hoped to, but without the band I surely would be at least 275 lbs. by now. And I would have missed online friends like all of you! Thanks for your kind words, everyone, and a special thank-you to Eileen, who thoughtfully started the thread.

BTW, my goal weight is still 160 -- by my second bandiversary, August 26, 2006.

Zoe, well done. Sixty-five pounds is nothing to scoff at. You deserve a pat on the back and a shopping trip hehe. Keep up the good work :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
