Congratulations - what is your secret?! I know everyone reacts differently - I'm scheduled to go for my first fill on 5/17 and have maintained my weight since surgery but haven't lost. It's been a frustrating few weeks - the Dr. office says it's perfectly normal - I feel like I'm eating a lot less - guess it's time to start tracking everything I eat everyday for a while.

Again - keep up the good work ..

THANKS SO MUCH...I have been sticking to all my Dr's orders starting with day 1 of my 10 day pre-op liquids..it about killed me with head hunger the first 3-4 days..i would not leave my house pretty much the whole time..in fear i would slip up and go throu the drive throu at our local Mcdonalds..I was so terrified that something would go wrong with the surgery i just stuck thru it..and the 10 days of liquids gave me a big push for the 3 weeks he required after surgery..i wont lie to u, i did eat a small amount of mushies on week 3..cottage cheese a bite or 2 now and agian..i did all this without even exercising..i started exercising just last week..walking a mile a day for 4 days a week on the tred mill..my only advise is make sure u are getting ur right amount of water..protein shake..calories..and exercise in to maintain a lose of weight..i do not want to start slipping in my weight lose now..it is tough, and the band is kinda my little head game..even thou its not filled, i pretend it is fully filled and it seems to work with the head games food can play with me..GOOD LUCK with your weight goal..it is hard, but once u start losing weight its actually kinda fun..its all i talk about to who ever will listen to me..lol.. :)

Wow that is Great! I get my first fill May 16th. I have lost 23lbs and was banded on 04/15/2011. I also followed my Dr. rules. Started eating mushies on my third week. Stayed away from the high carbs like mashed potatoes and such. Cottage cheese and yogurt.

Great job! I was banded on April11th and fluctuate between 18-20lbs down. It really makes such a difference.My clothes are fitting better already and I can't wait to see how much better things get in the future!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
