5 Months Since Lap Band Surgery And Only Lost 30



Recommended Posts

I had surgery July 20, 2011 and I'm only down 30 pounds. I am losing super slow. I feel and look a lot better but the scale is stuck at 200.3 and won't budge! I need advice to get and stay under that 200 number!!!!! Any advice?

30 lbs in 4 months is great! I was told to expect 1-2 lbs per week. So you are at 16 weeks and 30 lbs - that's great! I think the lap-band makes for life-long gradual weight-loss & maintainence NOT the drastic quick loss that comes from the other, more drastic surgeries. I think you are doing great, keep up the good work!!

That is almost 3kg a month. I can't see why anyone would complain about that.

I agee- your weight loss is right on target. My 2cents, as it is in many of my posts, is are you excersising. It would really boost that weight loss along. Start slow and gradually increase the time/intensity. I started out walking slowly for 20 minutes on the treadmill. I worked up to a very brisk walk on an incline for 45 or jogging for 30. If you already are working out, bump it up and/or try something new. Best wishes, you are doing great.

I was banded on July 13th and I'm down 32 lbs since surgery (40 lbs including pre-op). Seems we are right on track with one another. I currently weigh 198 lbs. I got to 199.5 and was so happy to be in onederland, I let loose for 2 weeks and went back up to 203lb. ... Opps!! So right now I'm 'dieting' to get away from 200llbs for good! LOL ... I'm making sure to not eat any bread/pasta/rice and no sugar. Plus I started working out for 30 minutes a day (as of yesterday!) I'll let you know how long I last. My 30th birthday is this Friday the 16th and I'd love to be at 195lb.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you everyone!!!! I feel so much better now!!!! I thought I was just going to be a slow loser but I did notice the weight came off faster when I worked out of course I just need to force myself!!!!! No matter what time it is! I got down to 198 also and i kinda let myself go for a few days to award myself now I'm at 201 so I'm hoping to get back down to that 198 soon cause it sure was nice seeing it on the scale!!!! Much love!!!

Remember you will typically also lose a little slower as you weigh less. You were under 200! That's fantastic!

      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.
