LMR50 3 Posted November 5, 2014 Novemvber 20th is my banding date. I am having some anxiety about this. Not so much the actual surgery, but how well I will do afterward. I am excited to beccome healthy, have energy and less pain with joints etc., Just a tad jumpy at this new life coming my way. Anyone else feeling this?

Bandista 7,466 Posted November 5, 2014 @@yaya1397 @@Yadiordz Howdy there November 2013 Banders! We have similar stats, I believe -- it's been a marvelous year. Could I have lost more than 67 pounds? Well, maybe, but I am not in this for a lot of hard work. Those dieting days are over. I am looking forward to dropping another 20 and seeing where I am then. We are AMAZING!

Irishflower79 183 Posted November 7, 2014 Today is my one year bandiversary! Weight day of surgery was 345lbs this am 315.8lbs Not as low as my goal of 175lbs but I'll get there one day at a time! My band and I haven't always gotten along and as of right now she's in timeout with some Fluid removed- she was making her presents known too well with causing me pain. Hopefully next week she can get ungrounded and get her fluid back and start acting right again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LapbandChica 2 Posted November 9, 2014 Today I feel pretty good. Been a rocky week. Getting use to this tightness feeling and gas is interesting lol. Just learning my body all over again with new taste buds and making myself drink because I have no hunger at all. How are you doing this week with everything?

briefs199 337 Posted November 9, 2014 Lapbandchica I feel the same way with the gas! I was never really gassy before the surgery. Now I'm so gassy that when I walk I can feel it moving around inside me. I just got over my Constipation and so concentrating on Water intake and getting my Protein in. One day at a time.

Twinsmommy0513 27 Posted November 9, 2014 My 1 year anniversary is coming up on the 20th. This was the best decision I have ever made. Surgery went well, post surgery was good and I have only had a few nights of pain throughout this whole year. It was all my fault and ate way too much. I have lost 75lbs and hope to lose about 40 to go. Good luck to all new bandsters it's going to be a good thing. I finally have my life back. ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
