You all are doing great :)

I hit 50 # lost today. I'm with you sandiegokate the band is great!!!

I told my Mom I had lost 50#. And she said how great it was but she hoped I didn't gain it back.

I could confidently say I know I won't and I know I will keep losing. What a wonderful feeling.

Good journey all,

MaggieGT

You have done an amazing job. I was banded in Aug and still haven't lost 30 pounds. What are you doing, for the last month I haven't lost anything. I was unable to exercise because of back problems. Hopefully this month I will do better. I only have 40 something pounds to get off. Please send me what you are doing I need to try something else. I go back to doc tomorrow and afraid of what he may say.

I am so happy for you. I love my band. If you let it work it will. It was warm and sunny here in Oklahoma yesterday, so I pulled out the capri's and flip flops. Went to the closet I put on the smallest capri's I could find, when I walked they fell to my ankles. I was so so HAPPY. I really felt like I have done it. Just want to do it better on my next 60lbs. Congrats everyone.

Gratz to you and everybody else on your 6 months out!

It's not even been a year and it feels like I've had this forever. In a good way though!

Best of luck to you all for the next 6 months!

Last time I went to doctor they took out .3cc because I couldn't eat salads, chicken,etc..

Went back this week and I had gained. It was kind of nice to have a breather from it and eat more variety but I was too hungry and ate too much.:sad:

The PA put back .2cc and today I'm not hungry at all. :wub:

So I'm excited. I'm on liquids then mushes so don't know if what I will be able to eat later.

Glad to be back on my journey,

Maggie

Hi I have a question I have been having more diff. eating lately. not sure if I'm just going to fast or not chewing good enough or could I be to tight?? Somtimes I have no problem but lately soon after my first or second bite I need to stand up and move around tonight I think maybe I ate to fast but have been really uncomfortable and coughing up alot of froth. Is this happening to anyone else? Other than this I love the band and losing at a good rate.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
