It looks like I gained the 2 of the 3 1/2 lbs I gained. I cant seem to shake it. I have been working out to include the couch to 5 k program and I have been so ravenous. I am premenstrual. I stayed within 1000-1300 calories this wknd and to no avail. I ate so much yesterday it was ridiculous. seem Like I couldnt get full. I am going to see if I can push up 1st fill appt by a couple of days

You will eventually hold on and keep moving. It will fall off. I am at a plateau also i have been eating and eating and i have gained but I am at the gym 4 day of the week and im doing my best to keep it moving.

I have plateaued also. Been at 234 for 2 weeks. I FINALLY lost one today - but I also just started, so hopefully that has something to do with it and the scale starts moving again.

My loss slowed down a bit about 10 days before my first fill was due. I got my fill and now the weight is coming off again. I'm hopeful i'll hit the goal, but time will tell!

I've started exercising and I think i'm losing inches now. The pants I bought three weeks ago are getting big in the thigh and butt region! argh!

My goal is 218 by the end of the year.

I am weighing in at 233, so that's only 15lbs to go!

My fill was on the 18th and i've only weighed myself once on the 22 and was down 5 pounds! This number could also reflect the exercise regimen i've incorporated.

Either way, i'm following my dietary guidelines exactly and exercising more so i'm hoping this will all pay off come december 31!

Im down one pound. Went to my Primary/GYN Dr. for my yearly exame and the first thing she said to me was, so I see you have lost over 50 lbs since last year. I said yes I have LOL. any way I had not told her about the lap band.( last year she was not for it wanted me to keep tying to do it on my own. "yea right". Any way She was very very happy with my results and is now working with me on blood test through out the year to make sure every thing is good while I continue to loose my weight.

This made me feel good about myself. I am not very good at that emotion.

So I was wondering should we do a spreadsheet for the end of the year. It really seems to help me keep on track. I have no idea how to do it. So maybe Betsy or Leighanne or one of you very smart peeps could set it up. I also think we should make the last day on Jan 3 its the first monday of the year. Just an Idea!!!!! Im up for what ever you guys want to do....

Thanks for all the support..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
