Road to "TWOterville"



Recommended Posts

Good job Libra! I have been sooooo good the last two days :D I hope the scale likes me come monday :D

LapBandit, I am at 6mo and I too felt like I was eating like an unbanded person, I did it through pouch packing :D and no I don't need a fill. If anything I am a tiny bit too tight (a little heartburn, which scares me)

Josette, no worries! There's plenty of room in Twoterville and you'll be there in no time!

Molly, how are you feeling? Now that you're on break from school, are you becoming less stressed? I hope it's going well.

Thanks guys for the support as always! I am getting back on track. I was on such a good routine and life has been crazy this past month which made me realize that real life makes it hard to stay focused. This is something I'll continue to work on.

We're all doing great and I'm proud of us all!

Well I have tackled two of the boxes in my living room. Half of the laundry is put away. The kitchen is one load of dishes + the floor away from being done. All this in one evening. We have been house sitting my hubby's ex's house while she is away and we have the kids. It's easier with their school schedule to stay there rather than here during the week. I cleaned her house (no easy task) in the last two days with the kids help. I am feeling much more energetic, eating much less, and yes finally starting to feel better :D and Josette while I reside in twoterville it is not by muh I assure you. I keep toying with that balsted number and it is still haunting me. I hope to put it far behind me soon as I am now feeling better.

Yay me!! I'm no longer in the 290's!!! Hee hee, I'm 289.5!!! I love decimals!! LOL!!!

Way to go Libra! I also was weary of being out of the woods until I got out of the 290's. I didn't 100% count myself a member of Twoterville until I reached that goal just because I wanted to make sure there was a big enough distance from Threetown!! So, enjoy it...I'd say you're an official member of Twoterville and you can sell your house in Threetown to someone else who may be hoping to move in real soon!

Good job!

You are not alone. I am still here in Threetown. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 or 4 lbs for the last week or two. Its making me crazy, I have to ignore my scales right now. My restriction is not there, my next fill is on the 31st and I am just gonna have to be strong. I know I am eating too much and I beating myself up for it. I have all these thoughts like maybe theres something wrong with my band, maybe I have a leak, or its in the wrong place. Then I tell myself that if there was something wrong the Dr. would have seen it on the fluro when he did my first fill. I just read on one of my other groups that someone who went to the same clinic as me is having major problems (tubing came lose from the band) and had to go back to get it fixed. Freaked me out a little. I can't afford to go back to get my band fixed if there was a problem. I am just ready for this darn thing to kick in and really restrict me. This is just as hard as any diet I was ever on and I am exausted to boot. I know I sound like a whiner and I am sorry. I am getting zero support from my twin right now who is very involved with her new love intrest. Thanks for listening guys.

Koala-Congratulations!!!!!!! We definately get the significance of this milestone and you deserve to Celebrate.

Candy-I'm so sorry you are having problems right now but it seems like you have things under control and that is hugely important...you know what the problem is (no restriction) and how to fix it (fill) so you're ahead of the game! As far as worrying about something being wrong...it's a natural reaction. I've wondered the same each time I go through a rough patch but most likely things are OK in there and your body is just being stubborn. Trust me...you'll make it and when you do we'll all be here to welcome you!! Just try to hang in there until the 31st!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
