I had my surgery date 12/18/10, i got my first fill 2/16/10. I had lost 43 pounds, i gained 5 pounds back by drinking 1200 calories and day and not knowing it for. Now im back on track but it feels like i'm starting to feel down on myself. It feels like its taking to long . I seee where some poeple have lost way more weight then me . Ive just had my 3rd fill. Should i have lost more or be losing more?

You are being too hard on yourself. I am 9 months out and have just lost 60 lbs so you are doing good. Hang in there and remember it is a slow process.

Hi there,

I have been banded over 15 months and have the most important bit of advice I can possibly give....Whatever you do..

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS!!!!! (don't mean to shout..just sooo important!)

I did this at the beginning of my journey and totally sabotaged myself for over 5 MONTHS!!!!!

Once I focused on MY success and nothing else, it changed my entire experience with the Lap Band.

Average weight loss w/the band in 1 year is 52lbs. I didn't hit that number but am TOTALLY THRILLED with my result!! I am not "average" so I don't compare myself to anyone or anything. As long as I'm losing..I"M THRILLED!

Keep in mind, others are bigger or smaller than you, lose or gain differently, different heights, etc. There is NO POSSIBLE benefit of comparing yourself to ANYONE! Focus ONLY on YOU and you WILL SUCCEED!!!!

      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?
