I went to my specialist today...



Recommended Posts

I have not seen my Endocrinologist in 90 days.

When I first seen him I weighed 305Lbs. (THE NURSE SHOULD ME ON PAPER), Today I weighed 271Lbs... "YES !"

She was shocked, and I to was surprised, that's a little more then 11Lbs. a month. That's not bad at all !

She thought it was do to my Thyroid Medicine, and I had to break her Heart and say "NO, I HAD MY LAPBAND FILLED.) Ogh......

I told her it's still a good thing ! It's a loss. She agreed.

So for all the Newbies, and non believers this is for you. Consistency is the key...

I stay between 800-1200 calories a day, 60-80G of Protein a day, I never weigh myself at home, only on a Dr.'s scale, Drink my MUSCLE MILK LITE, and I walk around the block every other day. I record all my stuff on myfitnesspal.com that's it.

and it is nice and slowly coming off.

So my Turtle is slowly moving. I can't wait to see it next year , or myself . :party:

Congratulations on your approval ! i had know idea that you were changing over?

I wish only the best in Good Health...

Let us know when you get your date set (IN STONE !)

I am also on there site, I didn't know if I would have this band fixed,or go to the sleeve at one point !

Turned out the Band was just deflated.

If Medicare ever makes it covered on their Ins. I might look into that..

Good Luck on your Journey.

Shirley.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
