Wow! Congrats to you all!

I hadn't really thought about my bandaversary this year except that I'm going back to my trainer to have new measurements done...that will be fun for a change!

NEXT year, I'm planning to go to Hawaii to Celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary...in late September...so that is my big goal.

I love to hear what you all are doing! (maybe I'll get glamour shots done for dh's Christmas present...hmmm...)

We have the same bandiversary date!!!

I am getting my band re-filled on 10/6! That's my celebration. :scared2: I was way too tight on 9/18 and had to have my liquid removed...emergency trip to the ER. Stress at work and upcoming flight out of town made my Dr. decide to remove all restriction.

You are doing so great!!! Congratulations!

I'm pretty proud of my 65 lbs, too. I feel great. I just bought 2 pair of SIZE 14 jeans at lunch today! That was an awesome experience!

Well DH bought me an hour long massage with hot stone therapy in June for my birthday and I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I think I will for my Bandiversary.

My bandaversary was Oct. 8th. I didn't do anything except make me a 'progress' picture. I've lost 70 pounds.

I need to decide what my next goal is and get motivated to get the rest of this weight off!

It truly has been a remarkable year and I'm so glad I made the decision to get this band! I went to the seminar to encourage my husband and ended up signing up too! :sad:

It's been great having someone to go through this with me.

It's been a wonderful experience. My overall health is so much better than it has been for many years. Somehow I have trouble believing that I am a senior citizen because I feel so healthy. I am wearing the same size clothes my 36 year old daughter wears.

Yet, there is a small voice in the back of my head saying "Will this last or be like the other times you have lost weight and regrettably found it again"? I hope it will last. I think it will last. I know it will last!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
