banded for 10 months



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.. I have been banded for 10 months I am proud to say I have lost 42 pounds. (YAY!!!) I have went from a size 18 to a size 10. I love my band...I never thought I would make it.. I thought I would fail with the band like I did with so many weight loss plans. I had a slow start with my band but realized I needed to drink more Protein thats when I started to see a difference.

I hope everyone else is having success with their band.. :thumbup:

AWESOME!!! You should be very proud!!

I have been banded for almost 9 months and I have lost 40 lbs. And I have had only two fills!! Drinking the Protein definitely makes a difference. The band has been a life-saver for me.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!

I've been banded 9 months and have lost 42 lbs too! Mine has been slow, but steady. It seems like recently I have been losing at a better rate. I definately have more restriction now. Good Luck everyone!

Awesome!

I was wondering what your diet looks like? In a day what do you eat? I am 10 days post op and am already on mushies. How do you prefer to get your Protein in? shakes?

Thanks :thumbup:

I'm also 10 months out and I cant believe I have lost 89 lbs. No more insulin, and blood pressure is back to normal, but my absolute biggest pleasure is not having to shop in the big/tall shop any more. I went from a 52 waist to a 44 and from a 3x shirt to xl. Is it really me, I'm pinching myself to make sure. Congrats to all of you for making this work!!!!

I am out 8 months Love Love Love my band (except for its embarassing gurping that it makes when I eat LOL). I a down 65lbs from a tight size 20 to a loose fitting size 14 so far. Congrats to everyone else on your progress!! You are all doing amazing!! I think I a going to start drinking Protein to supplement even though my surgeon is against it. I do not think I am getting enough protein for sure.

Hell there that is good I am 11 months out and have lost 50lbs which I think I would of lost more if I stick to it harder. I have been on a bad track lately, but I am cutting back in the bad habits as we speak. I am going to get my list of foods together and go back to my protien shakes I want to loose another 50lbs to hit that 100lb weight loss.

Oh I haven't been on here in a while I need to update my tickler congrats everyone.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
