Hey guys! So I was just wandering is my progress is decent?! So I had my operation on june 25th 2011, since then I've dropped like 35 pounds, but since a recent band fill I cant eat at all! I don't even know if I should be concerned. I'm still finding it hard to choose the right food, anyone got any advise? I'm trying really hard to reach my goal, I think I may be over doing it, any advise would be helpfull, thanks! Happy banding people!

P.S- If anyone is currently thinking of getting the band, I completly recommend it! I have never looked back, it's completly worth it!

Congrats on your weightloss! You are doing great! I was banded in March of Last year. In July I got a fill and it made my band too tight. I could not eat anything without throwing up. Unfortunately I went out of state right after my fill and was gone for 6 weeks so that entire time that I was gone I didnt lose but maybe 2-3 pounds. Since I could not eat anything I turned to slider foods. That did not help the weightloss at all. So if you can't eat anything I recommend going to have some of the fluid removed otherwise it may cause your weightloss to plateau. Hope this helps you some. Good Luck!

What is slider food??

Sounds like good progress to me. Everyone loses weight at different rates, as long as you're moving forwards week by week, keep doing what your doing.

I always look at it this way, even if its half a pound a week over the course of a year that's still 26lbs.

Imagine that, waking up in a year from today 26lbs lighter... that's progress surely!

slider foods are ones that can just slip by the band- milkshakes, ice cream, chocolate, chips, etc. Remember, the band doesn't make good choices for us!!!

i was banded on july, 11,2011 and i started out @ 211lbs, now i am 172.5 I think we are ok
