Yikes, I have gained weight - 1st time!



Recommended Posts

As of June it will be two years since getting banded, for the first time I have gained weight -11lbs to be exact.

I have never had this happen but I am not going to let it slide. I have an appointment in two weeks for a fill thankfully.

I am refocusing on my diet and exercise - looking back to my old success from when I first got my band, I just need to take good look at what I have learned and reapply it once again :smile:

I think it happens to the best of us. :thumbup:

Just think, you're still under 200 lbs, so that is awesome! I would do just like you said - refocus, etc.

I'm only 1 day out from my band - praying that I see a magic number under 200 at some point.

I always like to use the famous line from "Finding Nemo"...Just keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming. :smile:

Give yourself a pat on the back for stepping in quickly and not waiting until things were waaaay out of hand.

You have the tools, now put them back into play. you can do it!

Get your fill, and go back to band rules. That is the joy of banded life. We can tune it up and be back on track.

Best wishes!

Thank you Cocoa Bean :thumbup: the fill will certainly help and just the past two days I have really looked back and refocus, plus utilizing this site is so crucial to my success.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
