Havent posted in a bit. Looks like everyone is doing great.

I got the ok to go back on solid foods today, so that is a great step forward.

I seem to have stabilized my weight loss---6-7 lb's since my last post, but I expected it to level off.

I go back to work on Monday. Looking forward to being back to a regular daily routine.

Happy New Year Everyone....and Congrats on the great results so far.

I was banded on December 9, 2010. I have lost 105 lbs including my preop 22 lb weight loss. :D

I am 5'9" tall. On 11/23/2010 I was wearing a size 4x skirt and 3x top. My Bra size was 44 c. I am a true pear shape carrying the bulk of my weight below the waist which lends itself to heavy legs and thighs.

Today I have on an 38B bra, XL skirt and a L top... both from Old Navy.... . no more woman's sizes shopping for me.

I have no idea what size I will be when I get to my goal..... its still a long way off. I am averaging 10 lbs per month so hopefully by my anniversary date I will be down 50 more lbs. I think maybe then it will actually start sinking in.

Having to lose 200 lbs is very overwhelming. However the good news is that I am past the 1/2 way point in 8 months. My Dr didnt sugar coat it... he said at my very first consult that it would take me 2 - 1/2 years. Now he thinks I should be at goal by April 2012 which would be some 16 months.

I was banded on 4/24/11. I started at 310, lost 11 pounds for a pre-op weight of 299. this monring I weighed in at 272! 38 pounds total! I go for my second fill on Friday, and I know I need it. I'm eating too much and can eat to quickly. I can't wait to be consistently losing! Looking at all your posts has been so motviating. I hear so many negatives, from the doctor telling me that I should do the Gastric Bypass, to oh, you're eating too much! (just so you know the dr. is now 100% behind me because I told him, beyond a shadow of a doubt this was going to work for me!) but the biggest problem is that where I had my surgery done, they have a huge amount of support for rny, but really, I am learning, know very little about the band! I'm so glad I found this forum!

      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! 😞
