Topic: RE: Ok guys - we are on our 5th month Post OP..
i think my main problem is my in consistancy i am horrible at remembering to take vitamins, and meds, i get totally discouraged when something isnt going how i see it and i totally stress over EVERYTHING!
i see everyone else having all the success stories, and i want one in 7 more months ya know. i would love to be a size 10...although, i think its NEVER gonna happen, frankly i dont think im ment to be that small....i have lost almost a 100 pounds, and that is fantastic, but...i can feel it slowing down...and its discouraging...
i still have plenty to lose...60 more lbs to get to drs goal....and finally be "normal" not overweight/obese....
thanks to all those who motivate me

As most people already know (because I ***** and I ***** and I ***** lol), I struggle with peristent weight gain. I have more than one, non weight related chronic condition. Medications, thyroid fuction etc screw with my ability to loose weight. To my disappointment rny did not fix this. However, it has made me aware that it is far worse than I had ever imagined. I will always stuggle despite wls.
So there is my biggest challenge but as for differences in my life? No real lifestyle change because of my wl other than shopping for smaller clothes like everyone else. I've been blessed that despite my size, fat never held me back from doing what I've wanted to do. I was suprised to discover on OH that so many people really felt limited by their obesity (I know how stupid that sounds but it is true.). I thought that was just a television stereotype.
This weekend I zipped myself into some size 10 pants. Three pairs were too tight but one a perfect fit. Once I'm a true 10, I'm going to Old Navy and the Gap for my new size 10 jeans. By then I should no longer be obese but just overweight. I am so looking forward to that day.

What would you say is the greatest challenge you face? With band or rny? Also, what are the biggest differences in your life since wls so far?
My greatest challenge is that I still feel kind of loose in the band - still trying to feel restriction.. and it isn't there often. And moving.. I know I don't move enough for my own good.. but I'm going to change that now. I joined a challenge on the main board and am determined to meet my goal of 10 lbs in 8 weeks.. I can do this.
The biggest difference I noticed is the confidence I have in myself - I feel like I have hope in my own journey now.. and although I often forget that I did this for ME and nobody else.. it's still hard to get motivated at times to move more! I've noticed that since I am doing things for me, I also am starting to take better care of myself - do my hair, make up, clean house, even cook my own dinners instead of eating out all the time... those nsv are big for me. Seems like basic stuff, but when you're depressed and just eating all the time... almost anything is too much for you.

Hi Tami! I found this board pre surgery and there were tons of people posting than. There are a few die hards left. I think all the banders were afraid to post for awhile.
We have a good group here now

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
Topic: RE: How many Feb banders do we have left here??????????
Don't be depressed! I have only lost the 36 pounds since banding. My other 20 was pre surgery. The weird thing about losing sizes, I didn't lose a size for the first pre-op 20, I'm pretty sure I had lost another 20 before I got out of the 26/28. Than it was like I went down to 20's over the next 10 pounds. I went up 3 pounds last week and was able to get into 2 pairs of shorts that had been too tight. Very strange!

I didn't even know there was a message board like this. This is pretty cool. I'm going to be checking this board out often now.
