Bandiversary Goal?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Our 'bandiversary' is closing in! Mine will be exactly 8 weeks tomorrow. Do you have a goal in mind? I begrudgingly report that I have slacked off completely and gained 11 lbs! OY! But, I am back on track. I have a couple of solid days under my belt and I already feel better! I had really been snacking up a storm complete with slider foods. A great plan if I want to GAIN weight. Since that is NOT the goal I had in mind when I had surgery, I think I will go back to doing what I am supposed to do!!!!!

So anyhoo, now that I have confessed and updated my ticker to reflect the damage.... Here is my new goal for my bandiversary!

Current Weight 182.6

Bandiversary Goal 158.9

Final Goal 139

Anyone else???

hey lisa (and all who view)

i, like you, had started snacking like crazy, i mean serious snacking, all sliders too. my goal was always to lose 100lbs by my bandivesary. that is still my goal. i have about 10 weeks left so i think thats more than enough time to hit 245.

this is a good thread too. we can see how many people hit their first year goals just like we all did the countdown on surgery dates.

I don't do real well with "goals" because if I don't make it then I fall of the wagon badly...lol. Let's just say that I would love to be down 75 lbs by my bandiversarry on 7/7. I've already lost 58 so that seems pretty reasonable to me. Of course, if you had asked me this question last July, I would have been a bit more optimistic. This is not an easy journey we have started but oh so sweet and far easier that the thousands of "diets' and heartbreak that have come before. Good luck to you all!!!

i totally agree, i just wish we were as chatty as we were pre-band. it really made going into sugery alot easier to have that extra support.

i got another fill yesterday and im hoping it just the swelling that is causing the extra burps etc. i really want to hit my goal, i think that will be just what i need to keep pushing to being under 200lbs.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
