I have lost 24 pounds and continue to struggle to lose every pound. However I have lost one pound over the holidays. I am so happy I didn't gain!

I am wondering what it would look like if we post the precentage of weight lost to goal this year instead of the pounds.

I think I have lost 40% of the weight I need to lose.

If my goal weight is 145, I needed to lose 78 pounds from banding. I have lost 34 pounds so far. That's about 45% I think? Someone help with the math!!!

My high weight was 240+ so I'm down over 50 pounds from 2 years ago.

I love my band. I'm a bit paranoid about erosion, other than that, banded life is great!!!

Hello Angeleyes...

I think using percentages is a super idea... lets see that would put me at about 45% for me... almost 50.. looks good to me..

Keep up the good work!

Hi Kathy..

Why are you so paranoid about erosion?... are you having any problems..?

You seem to be losing well...

So how are all of your April 2005 Bandsters doing now? I haven't heard from many of you lately. I am still struggling but hanging in here. Still have about 18 pounds to lose.

Hi there....

I am still here.. been a long long time since I posted... kinda staying away..

Reality... my band is full to capasity and I have little to no restriction.. really considering having it removed...

I have lost about 35 - 40 pounds... and now I am yo yoing 5-8 pounds up and down... really depressing... really thought I would at goal by now.. now I am just happy I am not gaining the 35-40 pounds back ... okay.. just rattling on here...

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
