I was banded in 2014 sw was 245. I lost weight but had another baby in September and I’m at 239 I got my 11cc band filled up to 6 cc took 3 out while I was pregnant and got 2 put back in on Thursday so now I’m at 5cc. I’ve never been in the green zone since I’ve had it I’m hoping to start the journey again

Thanks so much @@Keeper it's funny because I have two boys and a husband as well is a challenge! But I just stay away from things I know I shouldn't have ...what is green zone for you? I'm not sure if I'm there or not I get stuck once in a while nothing crazy but I do get hiccups after i eat at times

I was banded March 26 2014 it's been a year and a month......I've only lost 38 lbs so far but it's 38 pounds gone forever as long as I can keep pushing through.... I haven't had a fill in a long time but I'm going back Wednesday to get a little put in to kick things back in motion..... I'm really trying to hit my goal weight of 165 currently 207 looking forward to getting into ONEderland ! Any advice on meal plans quick preps I would appreciate it!

@@betty_s me to!! lol I hope its "the green zone" lol foreal....ive lost 20+ lbs but I don't feel much of a difference in my clothing yet

I get my next fill june 25 hoping for some more restriction I have 6 ccs in my 11 cc band and I have no idea what im going to get next im hoping another 3....my scale is dumb so I haven't really been weighing myself and my clothes don't fit a WHOLE lot looser but for right now im 21 lbs down and I have 59 more to go lol...I know this is a process but im so anxious to see ONEderland !!! praying to reach my goal by October !! I did eat some things I don't think agreed with my band I don't regurgitate or spit up or anything but I do get cramps and gas pains when I eat something that I guess doesn't agree I have to be more careful.... #StayingFocused

Do you really truly begin to lose the weight after u find the green zone? or should you be losing even before this happens....

well you know it was a long weekend, I did slip up a little this weekend but today is a new day and time to get back on track, ive been feeling a little discouraged because I haven't been getting the results ive been hoping for, & im one of the ones that has a melt down when I don't see results right away lol but I will just keep pushing forward and eating clean....I do however need to incorporate way more exercise to my regimen....hope you all had a great weekend!

@@2babutterfly hahaha my wedding ring is a little looser I guess that's one for the books! lolol

@RJ'S/beginning thanks for the encouragement im hoping for atleast a size 8 in the near future lol

oh this is true I will take some tonight and post later! thanks@LilmissDiva Irene

soooo im almost 2 months out and ive lost 21 lbs so far butttttttttt im not really seeing a major difference in the way my clothes fit...I started at 245 size 14....im 224 still size 14 lol...what the heckkkk I wanna see those one digit numbers I love to shop & theres just not a variety of stuff in plus sizes....hoping to see a change soon!

omg what a transformation, you look GREATTTTTT!!!!!! keep up the fantastic work, such motivation!

@@gowalking this Is true bc although I have lost 21 lbs I don't feel a really big difference in my clothes yet...

ill go to target and fine one this weekend lol thanks @@LilMissDiva Irene

OK soooo is the scale rigged at the doctors office or what lol....everytime I go for a weigh in I weigh a few pounds less then I do at the scale at home....whats going on....im not sure which to follow....its a bit discouraging when I get on the scale at home and im 5 lbs heavier then the scale at my surgeons office....ughh I have a health ometer digital scale that I purchased at walmart...does this happen to anyone else....

im almost 2 months out & down 21 lbs how is everyone doing im not weighing in til my next fill june 25

thanks so much ! @@2muchfun

wow 100 lbs lost in 3 months great motivation! keep up the great work and thanks for the tip!

I was wondering if everybody follows this rule, not drinking 30 min b4 and 30 min after...I try very hard not to..30 min before is ok..but I usually have to have a sip while im eating...really trying to break this habit....but I always feel guilty when I do it... like im pushing the food right through even tho I still only eat small portions ...

@@chrissy10 thank you for sharing!! I cant wait to feel free of the 200's lol I enjoy watching the scale go down my next apt is june 25 trying not to weigh myself until then so I can see the big difference! are u consuming lots of protein?
