I was banded oct 15 and I feel fantastic. The last month I havent been exercising as much as I should or have been. Im at 65lbs and staying steady at about 2 to 3 lbs a week. Closer to 2 but 3 or more when I workout 5 days a week. Getting back on the workout plan. Its just been a tough month with being sick and stuff.

I hope everyone stays positive! We are all different and any loss is a huge step forward.

Hi all

great to hear your all doing well, but on the down side I am really depressed that I am not losing anything now. I try my best at keeping mobile but pain is my problem. I did explain to consultant that I am not the healthest eater but was gauranteed that the lapband was about portions rather than what you eat.

Keep up the good work girls x x x

Hi ladies -

My eating is pretty tame, low low carb, high Protein - it works for me.

I'm happy everyone is doing so well

I was banded Oct. 7, since then I've lost 75lbs. For the first couple months I really didn't have my head in the game and was pretty much doing what I wanted. In late January I decided to get serious.

Hi All great to hear you all doing so well, I have lost 28lbs since october and had 3 fills. finding it very difficult to eat alot of foods, having hiccups all the time, due to disabilities maybe thats why it's taking longer to loose :-(

I am in the same boat was banded 10/28/10 lost 82 lbs started at 277 got down to 195 and then found my fill was too tight so they completely unfilled me. I have had two fills since then and I am stuck back up at 206-209 but it seems like I am eating way more than I should be able to....also I do extreme excerxising so I am leery to get another fill because it seems like I cant get enough calories in for the excercising I am doing so I am in a quandry....please give me any suggestions possible!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
