I was banded Nov 30th, 2011 @ 226. I lost 10 pounds two weeks pre-op, 10 pounds 2 weeks post-op. Now since Dec 20th I have only lost 3 pounds to bring me to 203...

6X a week I run 3-5km

1X a week I play volleyball

2X a week I play soccer

I am eating between 1300-1500 GOOD calories. No snacking, no junk, whole foods ie: eggs, chicken, fish, veggies, high fibres... etc...

I am losing inches but the weight is not coming off at all. Should I just chalk this up to inches lost and the # will go down later? Am I not eating enough to sustain my work outs? Am I eating too much (I am hungry lots!!)

I have only had 1 fill to bring me to 4cc (had 2.5cc at time of surgery).. IS this what they call the Bandster hell???

Who has been here?? Who can help a girl out???

Thank you!!

I also was banded 11/30 and have only lost about 10lbs since surgery. Remember this is a tool only, the doctor said a pound a week is about all I will loss. You sound like you are going great. Keep it up and I'm sure the weight will come off.

This makes me nervous! I was banded on the 19th of January and lost 13 pounds. I weigh 225 now, but I am afraid it will come to a stop and not lose more. I was 244 at the beginning of January. So I had lost some before surgery too. Hope to lose 1-2 pounds a week. First fill in a week. Good luck. I think switching up the exercise type you do is a good thing too or skip a day or 2 for a little while because I think your body gets used to a certain schedule and doesnt respond as well to doing the same thing each time.

I don't think the calories are too high, especially if you're working out that much. Sounds like you need a fill; it would help with your hunger and you would eat less each time.

This statement contradicts itself!
