thanks for your words of encouragement, b/c I'm sooooooooooo discouraged. I sit here day after day reading all the success stories and I'm happy for each and every one of them, but then i look in the mirror and ask why can't I have that success? I go for my 2nd fill on 2/15, I hope I can get some restriction.

I was in the same boat as you. Lost 13 pounds the first month and was so dissapointed. Everyone else seemed to be losing 20+ that first month. I think I was down 18 by month two, still bummed. But just think what your scale could be showing you if you didn't have the surgery! Here I am almost a year out and down more than my first goal of 75 pounds! And to add to that, I still don't think I am in the green zone. I have followed the rules of my doctor and figured out what works for me. I am hoping that my fill on the 7th will get me to the perfect spot. So hang in there, the weight will come off!

it took me 5 fills and 2 emergency unfills to get proper restriction and now that i have it. i have nice steady loss. i was sooo frustrated too. i felt like i got this band i want all the big numbers everyone else gets. well i'm not everybody else and i had to realize that. i'm just shy of losing 40 pounds and it's taken my about 8 months. clothes gone from 20 to 14, but it's been a journey, please dont be discouraged, it takes time to find good restriction

Congrats on Onederland! I've got 15.4 pounds to go to get there (my next goal and getting my BMI under 30). It is slow going, but at least my weight is moving in the right direction.

that is AWESOME!!! i was banded on 12/16 and I'm not having much luck with my weight loss...nonod.gif

Just stick with it. It took me 6 months to feel restriction. Then, I had some bad thyroid issues I had to get ironed out before I started losing. I was banded in 2005 and have lost 68 lbs and kept it off. It has been slow. I took a break for a few years and am back on track losing again. It took another fill, more adjustments to my meds, eating really well, and working out, but I am getting there. Just be patient and work the program and it will work for you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
