perhaps low-carbing it for a week will get the weight moving again. I am 20 pounds from goal and am low carbing it and the weight does seem to come off a bit faster. low carbing - i mean under 30 grams of carbs per day. I use myfitnesspal to track this info. I am also trying my hardest to stay under 900 calories per day which isn't that hard. The only exception is for special occasions like Mother's Day this Sunday. If i don't see some progress I am going to try for a week the below diet.

My weight loss is also totally stalled. My doc isn't worries, but I have only lost about 5 lbs since February. I am trying to up my Protein and increase Water intake now- but it is HARD. I was prob only taking in around 20 protein a day and now trying to find a way to get to around 100 and I am finding it really hard

Mine has slowed way down also. I am at my "sweet spot" and don't think I need a fill - my portions are good, I am staying "full" so I am not quite sure what is going on. When I look at the big picture my weightloss average is right where it is supposed to be - 1-2lbs/week, but geez I want more :) I just upped my exercise routine this week so hopefully I will see results soon. I was hoping to be at 130lb by my year anniversary but at this point it doesn't look like it will happen - So I reset my goals to be in the 150's for my year checkup with the doctor (June 30th). I do have to say that although my weightloss has slowed down I am so HAPPY with my results.

I was hoping to be 100 lbs down by my 1 year band-aversary - but that's not going to happen. I am at 80 lbs and my 1 yr is on June 8. I don't need a fill either.

How many cc's are you all at almost one year out?

I am at 10.6 cc's. Twice I have been overfilled and had to have some taken out.

Thanks for the thoughts guys I am feeling better. I get about 60 grams of Protein a day, and about 100 grams of carbs, and eat about 1100 calories total. I have started working out everyday to work on my tone. I am also down 80 lbs. but was hoping for 100 by my bandiversary June 4th.

How many calories is everyone eating a day? Am I high at 1100? Any less and I don't have the energy to do anything.

I am at 9.4 cc. I have tried going up to 9.5 cc twice but both times I dropped it back down because I was sticking to frequently. It is weird though I can eat almost everything at 9.4 and nothing at 9.5. So I wish there was more restriction to keep me from eating too much but I guess at this point it's back on me :(

Thanks everyone! I love having this support!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
