Thank you everybody for your support, I am actually at 102 pounds lost now YIPPY =)

But I am a little sad, the last time I went in for a fill I had to meet with my dietician and she told me that since I have lost half of my goal that I am probably not going to lose anymore and that the band stops working. Has anybody heard of this? It really put me in a bad mood, isn't she suppose to be there for support? My surgeon was very encouraging he kept saying "we are going to get there together" etc.

I don't know if it is true or not but I am not stopping my whole eating habit is completely different, I don't even look for bad choice's anymore I am always picking out the smallest and healthiest options that are avaliable plus I workout at least 5 days a week.

What a bunch of bull!!! I have a friend that lost all her weight, 196 pounds, with the band. I've lost 75 and have 25 to go and I will tell you that it's slowed way down - but I'm still losing. Just continue to make the right food choices and you will be fine! BTW - I'd tell your surgeon what she said.......that's not very good for business!!

I agree with HowdyBooth. I am half way there as well and very much looking forward to hitting that 100lbs loss very soon. (Congratulations by the way!!!) As long as you are eating healthy and exercizing you can get to your ideal weight. Of course it will slow down the smaller you get and the harder you will have to push yourself when you workout. But that doesnt have to do with the lapband. Its all about %'s. If you lose 5lbs in a week when you weigh 300lbs, then that same % of weightloss at 200lbs would only be about 3lbs. The same for the exercizing, when you were 100lbs heavier it burned much more energy to do the same amount of exercize. So you must bump up the time or speed. You will get where you want! Good luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
