Happy 1st Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

Today is my 1 year bandiversary!!

Today I weight: 229.2

I'm down 146.3 pounds!!!!!

Woo hoooooooooooo!

I have been busting my ass, and I have been eating very responsibly, and still have a treat here and there.

I don't eat: white bread, Pasta, soda or any carbonated beverages. I've sworn off roast lamb as well (we can thank a 1-1/2 hour Christmas PB for that one!)

I do eat: a lot of salads, whole grains & fish. Most chicken, turkey and other meats I've learned to either eat ground, or chew like crazy before swallowing.

I've learned:

I can PB on ONE fishy cracker

I can PB on ONE baby carrot

I can PB on just about anything if I don't chew like crazy

That I still have issues with drinking while eating. I'm a big Water drinker, and it's hard for me not to drink while eating.

I can do this! I haven't had a fill since the beginning of November, 2009. I have noticed that I can eat more quantity, so I'm planning on getting a fill in September.

I have to exercise. HAVE TO.

I don't like exercise....... but I've been embracing the sweat.

I am DEF. going to have to get these batwings taken care of.

Wonder if Plastic Surgeon would do a trade for graphic design? ha!

xoxoxoxo to all my fellow Bandsters, and Bandiversary mates!

I need to get dinner ready for hubby........

I'm so excited to hit 150 pounds down. I'm so close, I can TASTE it!

Congrats Triple, Today is my 1 year bandiversery, I am down 70.4 lbs. This has been the greatest year for me too, I am running now , Never in my life did I think I would run anywhere or actually do it and enjoy it, I have my vices(cotton candy). I too have given up soda( I don't miss it), I also don't do fries anymore they just don't play nice with my band. I want to get down to 135 or so, and I want to see 129.8 once so I can take a picture of it and post it. LOL Congrats to all the August Bandits out there.Good luck in the second year.

Well, today is my one year Bandiversary!!! I am really excited. It has been an amazing journey. It is so much more than the weight loss. I am filled with joy and happiness and pride. I worked hard to be where I am today. Goal weight does feel delicious and I have to remind myself everyday, that I know what it takes to stay here and that going back to the old ways won't work. The support from family, friends, other bandsters, and my doctor has been vital in my success. I am learning to be comfortable in my own skin and to Celebrate good health. I am grateful that the Lap Band helped me to achieve my goal. I am no longer obese and that feels amazing!!!!

I am too so happy that I did the Lapband surgery. Triplelet Momma, you are doing awesome. I have always loved reading your post. I came on here to see how everyone was doing. I am down 85 lbs and could not be happier. My only problems are kidney stones. I went to a speacialist last week and he told me that the band are causing them. I am not drinking enough Water and eating too much Protein. Well I rather live with kidney stones than put the weight back on. So I am trying different things. I also read that some can't eat french fries, ME TOO.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
