How are you doing so far ????



Recommended Posts

I was banded 10/14/08 ... So far I'm down approx 35 pounds. I just had major Gallbladder problems, and had it removed 2 weeks ago. Anyone else going thru this??

I just wanted to know how you're doing - How much have you lost? What do you do for exercise? What keeps you motivated?

Thanks for the update :-)

Hey Boobie! I hope you are recovering well from your surgery!!!

Things are going well, I work out a lot, I have lots of energy, I walk everywhere, saves money and I burn some fat while I am at it lol.

I eat everythinh I want (mostly healthy fodo of course) except for fried food and sugary things like Cookies and ice cream, I do not count calories but I will say I eat about 1300 to 1500 calories a day. Some days 1200. I think I follow the Atkins diet without trying lol.

I work out about 5 to 6 times a week, 70 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strenght training :frown:

I am now 179 pounds, ive lost 112 pounds, I am amazed but the hard work has paid off. I would like to lose 20 more pounds and Ill be excited then off to get a Tummy Tuck :welldone2: sometime in early 2010.

good luck on your journey, you are doing great

Hey! I haven't stopped by here in a while, but wanted to say that getting the LapBand was the best decision I've made in a long time! I just got back from the beach and felt GREAT in my new bathing suits, new outfits, etc. I still have a way to go, but it's great to finally get some of this weight off!

I wish everyone the best!:blushing:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
