I had my first fill last week on the 18th, i havent lost nothing since 2weeks after surgery but im not worried. All together i have lost 47 lbs... 22 of that was since i started the pre op diet till 2 weeks after surgery....i m not exercising yet cause ,i was told not to .My doctor wants my body to adjust to the diet first...... so u not the only one where the weight is stallin it will come off again we got to give the body a min. to adjust to the change :)

Hey everyone, I was also banded March 19th. I'm seriously frustrated and super depressed right now. I lost 12 lbs during my preop and during the first week of liquid diet. Since then I got 1 fill of 4cc and I haven't lost anything since. I can only get 1 fill every 6 weeks per my Dr. I spent all this money, did the painful part and recovery time. I exercise everyday that I don't work ( I work 12 hour shifts when I do work and it's impossible to fit it in), that's exercise 3-4 times per week. I'm dying for another fill and just feel hopeless right now..............uhhhhh

Netty i actuallt gained for two weeks. How many calories r u eating. I gained because i want eating enough. When i upped my cals to 900-1100 i started losing. I also do 45 at the gym 6 days a week. And the 7 just stay moving. Follow the rules.go back to square 1. U must excercise at least 30 day. Protein first. At least64 oz.of water.i was banded 3/19 too.

How is everyone doin here ? everyone still around ? Me myself im doing great i keep slowly losing.... i might start to really exercise now , i still cant get my self motivated tho im such a lazy butt .....i had my 4th fill today im at 4.5 in my band ...the only bad thing about this losing weight is that i lose my hair along with the lbs but i hope it will stop soon, i will try to focus on the Protein more and see if that helps .....other than that im feeling really great ...

Hi, I was banned on March 16th, nice to talk to someone with a date so close to mine. I have lost 38 lbs so far. Slow progress I think because I am not exercising like I should :( I have 3.5 cc's in my band and I think I might get a tiny fill on Tuesday, and I should be in the green zone! Over the last week or two I have had unusual pain near my port, have you experienced this at all? It's just a dull achy pain...I'll talk to the dr about it Tuesday. Keys keep moving toward our weight loss goals!!

Hey guys! I am down just about 60 lbs. I am happy with it, not excersing enough though, mostly because it is too bloody hot here! I joined a gym but they dont open until September. I have had to buy "transitional" clothes, sex life has GREATLY improved, no longer obsessing about food, battling to get enough Protein, and learning to adjust to more male attention. There's a little of my journey!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
