Looking for a buddy to help me get back on track!



Recommended Posts

I'm coming up on my 2-year bandiversary and have fallen off the wagon. I've been on a rollercoaster for the past year, and have been eating around my band and gaining and losing, gaining and losing...you get the idea. I've finally gotten myself back on track this week, but could use someone to hold myself accountable to. I've lost 154 pound so far (I had lost 162, but had a gain around my wedding last month) and have about 40 more to go. Close by or far away, doesn't matter! (I'm in central PA). Thanks! :)

Hello!

I was banded April 2009.......so we are somewhat close to being "band buddies".

I have another 15pounds to lose to meet my goal weight -- I have NOT gained weight - but I am not losing either.

I exercise enough to not gain -- but I am eating around the band - which is preventing me from losing the weight.

Let me know you thoughts of how we might be able to help each other to get back on track and start losing again !!!

Also - Congratulations on your wedding!!!! How exciting!!!!

      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.
