I'm a July 2009 Bandster. I've done well and am now in a size 10 (my goal size). I am going to set up a fill appointment because the last 2 weeks I've been getting way too hungry shortly after I eat. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check in with my surgeon's office anyway because I have not been there in 10 months or so. I lost the first 100 pounds in 1 year and have been coasting since. Life is good.

that is amazing!! Congrats! I definately slacked on my exercise the first year so it came off slower...but i see such a difference now and it's coming off so easily now...i'm loving it :)

Not doing so well.....I have lost 70 lbs so far but hoped I would have lost 100+ by know. I blame no one but myself. I slacked off on my exercise and started eating things I shouldn't have. I plan to get on track this month and get me a personal trainer. I recently had a fill and it really gives me the restriction I need. I have lost 6 lbs since my fill on 3/25 so far.

Lovelyaskanbe, 70 is fantastic! I used to think the same way, but believe me when I tell you that when you start thinking differently you will FEEL so much better!

I'm down 70 too and for awhile u was very down on myself.i also did not exercise afdc close to how I should have.....

but think of it this way...until your surgery, when was the last time you were able to lose a big amount of weight and KEEP IT OFF? also, we're so much healthier now!

i've actually had 2 unfills now...the first one nkot by choice and the second one BY CHOICE.....i know my body and my band beyer than ever...

I hope that with this new fill you get added success!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
