Keeping a journal/blog



Recommended Posts

I searched to see if this has been posted before, but didn't see anything. If I missed it, I'm sorry!

Did you keep a journal and/or blog about your band journey? I am thinking about keeping one and letting others see it. I want to start it now and continue it throughout it. I want to be able to look back and read about the thing that changed my life, rather than just the memories. If that makes sense.

Did you make a journal/blog? Did you wish you did? If you did, what were the good/bad things about it?

I just posted something a couple of mins ago referring to the blog entry I made about my lapband surgery - it's nothing new or interesting but I really felt I wanted to tell my story.. I haven't been keeping a journal or record of my weight loss at all! I've kind of just relaxed and let it happen rather than weighing in regulalry..

I used to weigh myself a lot but have eased off a bit. I don't even have scales atm!

honkytonksonline is my blog where I've posted befoer/after pics and my 'story' it's a bit long

I have been blogging on a personal blog for a long time; I find it really therapeutic and it also helps me organize my thoughts. I really enjoyed reading about the experiences of others when I was initially researching the lap band so I decided to start my own lap band blog: Bandy Land

I haven't even been banded yet though-- a week yet to go!

      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.
