:Bunny :Bunny :Bunny I'm with you, Alexandra! Me too! 3 Christmases and I've only lost and never denied myself at all. Awesome!! I only lost 14 lbs last year. :P but isn't that better than putting it back on? Absolutely!! I have set a goal for myself this year. Only 20lbs, if I can hit, I'm still headed in the right direction. If I pass it, HOORAY![/quote

Just curious, when were you banded? Yes, losing is always better than putting it on. I just thought the loss would be more than 14 lbs in one year. I guess it is harder when you get down closer to your goal weight, I am not banded but I am working towards it.

Leatha's had three banded Christmases, so she was banded some time in 2003 like I was. I haven't stopped to calculate, but in 2005 I lost, um, about 20-25 lbs. It does slow down as you get lighter--makes sense, since you need fewer and fewer calories to sustain you as you lose weight.

Hey, I'll take a 20-lb loss in ANY year over a 20-lb gain. And THAT'S where I would have been without my little silicone buddy. :P

CONGRATS ALEX!!!!! that is a MAJOR GOAL!!!

i am proud to say i share it!!!! i weighed 11-12-05 the EXACT same as i weigh today! and let me tell you i ENDULGED!!! i didnt have a cookie free day for 1 whole month! i really endulged at times and i evened it out by eating really healthy at others!

i would have probably gained a solid 10 lbs through the holidays without my band and some will power!

i too hope this year brings me below 200 as well!

Congratulations Alexandra

I know you don't often set goals exept to be healthy and happy.

You Go Girl

Yes I can add....the C's...cookies, chocolate, cheesecake and crab(not in that order) almost everyday for 3 weeks and not a pound of weight.

With this great tool you can only eat so much, a nibble, thin slice, a bite and be satisfied!

Last year with my leaky band I was gaining but not this year. I can only eat so much.

I'd be happy to just stay here.

Good luck!! I know you can do this

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
