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.

      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.

      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...
