Happy bandaversary !! - thoughts/comments



Recommended Posts

CONGRATULATIONS Mamadot. What a success story. The Band is an amazing tool. But the credit goes to the individual who decides to make a change in their life and sticks to it.

Weird about the chocolate. I never ate it everyday. Now I am hooked on the Hershey dark choc. mini bar. I only eat one at a time, but if I have them, I will eat one every night.

What's up with this?

Congratulations again to all of the Mayobanditos!

Well today is my bandiversary. I'm down officially, 81.5 lbs. I'm happy, but it wasn't the goal I wanted to meet for my one year. This past year has been so difficult in so many ways. I feel as though I've really struggled with the band, but all in all, I've been successful. Since then, so much has changed. I moved to another state, moved in with my boyfriend, am far away from my family and friends, was hospitalized for a week, etc. It's been really trying but also great in many ways. I wouldn't change anything that has gone on in my life since May 20, 2009. I am healthier and happier and love life again.

Happy bandiversary to everyone.

Happy bandiversary, Carrie! :laugh: Look at how far you have come! :drool: I didn't get to where I wanted to be by one year, either, but that's okay. We have made such amazing changes! I'm sorry it's been such a tough year for you in so many ways -- and the band is challenging enough! But hang in there, because you are doing so well! :thumbup::thumbup:

Congratulations everyone! My bandaversary was May 21st. I had hoped to lose a bit more than I have but 55lbs in a year will have to do. I fight for each pound and if I'm not exercising every day I stall. I have stopped stressing about it and am doing my best to take it one day at a time. I will reach my goal hopefully by next year I will have reached the 100lb mark and just keep going little by little from there. I am back into an 18 and feel A LOT better. Just need to stick with it and take a step at a time!

Congratulations, Minxz - 55lbs in one year is an amazing accomplishment! Take a look at an average 6-year-old child, and that is what you are no longer carrying around on your body. Slow and steady wins the race - and even though it can be frustrating to not have quick results, I think your body adjusts better when you take it off over time, plateauing and maintaining along the way. You seem to be on the right track and in the right frame of mind - continued success over the next year!

Today is my one year bandaversary. I am very happy and excited about the new and wonderful change in my life. I am not only healthier, happier, and skinnier...I am the person that is enjoying every second of life! I am doing things I never thought I could do before. I am able to do things and run around with my kids, I run marathons, and most of all I am comfortable in my skin when I am out with my husband. I wouldnt change a thing about this last year. I am a couple pounds from goal and I just had a Tummy Tuck and feel amazing. This coming year is going to be even more wonderful. I look forward to hearing from everyone. I hope this group wasnt a 1 year lived group. I truely hope we all keep checking in and encouraging one another. Thanks for all the support this first year. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations, Renee, Minxz, and Less of Me!!! You have all come so far and worked so hard this past year. I am so grateful to you and all of the mayo Banditos for coming here time and again to band together (ba-dum-bum) :drum:and form one of the greatest support groups for each other! I also hope that we will continue to check in and support each other as time goes on. This is a lifelong journey, not a short-lived diet. It takes everyone a different length of time to reach goal, and there are struggles along the way (boy, do I know!). And maintenance isn't going to be a piece of cake, either (mmm... cake....), and if you're at all like me, you might still be struggling with "head hunger" or emotional eating. Like many on here have said, it's too bad they don't make a band for the brain. :lol:

Anyhow, every single one of us deserves a round of applause for the first year under our (now tighter) belt! Please keep checking in, Mayo Banditos.:tea: :):thumbup::thumbup::tea:

And now for the Dancing V itamins!!!!

:lol::party::tt1::party::party::party:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
