One Year Today!!!



Recommended Posts

Today is my one year anniversary for my band. It does not seem like it has been a year but here it is! I will never ever regret this surgery. It probably saved my life as I was bordering on diabetes, had high cholesterol, rising HBP and other medical issues caused by my weight. Today we are waiting on our first grandchild to be born. He is due anytime and I am very thankful that I am much more healthy today than I was a year ago. I now actually feel that I will be able to keep up with him and will be able to get down in the floor and play with him and can run with him. I have lost a total of 70 pounds. I am very proud of that but I could and should have lost more. Not the bands fault, but mine. I have not been walking nor watching what I eat lately. But, I have not gained any. Going to start a gym next week and get back to my walking and measuring. If any of you are discouraged, don't give up, it does work. Hope you all have a great weekend and upcoming week.

Congrats to you! I am in the same boat. Yesterday was my 1 year. I am proud of where I am, but I know that had I followed the bandster rules all of the time, I would be so much further along. My husband actually thinks I should stop now. I didn't come this far to give up on my band. I think we can do this! Keep up the good work!

      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! 😞
