So I started keeping a blog, more for me than for anyone else but I do like comments and feedback. I feel like it makes me more accountable or I can confess to to the world when I fall off track.

Who keeps a blog or vlog?

Why do you keep it?

Post a link so we can follow!

Here's a link to my blog... I'm not banded yet, but I will be! :(

I keep a blog so I can watch my progress and so others who are considering it can see what to expect. Here is the link to it

YouTube - JewelJolyn's Channel

Hope you find it helpful.

I, too, just started a blog but I will not be banded for about 6 weeks. I wanted a way to get my thoughts out there, meet other people who had undergone the same feelings, thoughts and aspirations and WOW has it been helpful. The women I have met have truly inspired me, so I hope that at some point, once I have been banded, a newbie may find my blog as helpful as theirs have been for me!! :(

I started a blog for the same reason, just to keep a record of this wonderful journey I began. Now I have a great group of band/blogger buddies who I exchange tips, information and ideas. Feel free to follow!

Banded Mommy

I have found the most wonderful people through blogging. here is a post I made last week about our lapband blogging community. The link for my blog is in my signature:

"In this lapband blogland of ours you can find:

The young, the "more seasoned", and every age in between.

Baby bandsters, experienced bandsters, those who chose gastric bypass, or those who just want to lose some weight.

The loud outgoing bandsters (are you pointing your finger at me?), the more reserved, the shy, the ones who want to be naked publicly.

The humble, the proud, the lost.

Teachers, writers, mothers, students, nurses, lawyers, somebodies.

The rich, the "money challenged".

Those from the land of education and those from the school of hardknocks.

Forever fatties (not after the band) and fresh fatties.

Those of us who started at higher weights, and those of us who did not.

Girls and (well mostly girls) and at least one male blogger.

Bloggers from every religion and race.

Bloggers from America, Australia, Dubai, and Paris.

Pear shaped, hour glass shaped, and just out of shape.

Those who love people of the same sex, opposite sex, or just love sex period.

We are a melting pot of personalities and life experiences. We are pretty amazing. And we are growing, even while are waist size is shrinking.

Pat yourselves on the back blog buddies. Because sometimes you make a difference in the lives of complete strangers. And sometimes those complete strangers become some of you closest friends."

I started a blog because I was inspired by other lapband bloggers. I'm also not telling many people in real life and the people who blog and read blogs seem so supportive and caring. It really makes you feel good about what you're doing for yourself. I'm still in preband land but if anyone's interested...

I follow several of the above blogs (Hi, Amy and Dee!) and have kept my own one for the past 15 months. It's a fantastic way to keep track of your progress and an incredible source of support and encouragement! Link to mine is below!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
