January 2010 bandsters...



Recommended Posts

I am relatively new to this forum. I was banded on January 8th at 6AM. I went to the doctor two weeks ago and had lost 95 pounds ( its closer to 102 now). I have not had any problems with my band and hope things continue to go well.

Pre-OP weight: 348

Surgery Day Weight: 324

Current Weight: 246

I have made a lot of progress and feel like my hard work in the gym is really paying off. I hope things are going well for everydoby.:smile2:

WOW! That's AWESOME!! :smile:

Hi Claricey,

I think you need to set goals in increments if that will work better for you. I originally set a goal of 50 pounds then I added another goal of a additional 7 pounds which would give me a few pounds to play with if I went on vacation or something else. I wanted to be realistic and didn't want to put any pressure on myself so I felt like a failure. It took us a long time to put the weight on and will take time to take it off. Good luck

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
