I had lap band surgery exactly 1 year ago. I've lost 55 pounds. Not as fast as the surgeon thought I would' date=' but I know it's 55+ less than I would weigh if I hadn't had it done. [/sub']

It's ok to take the slow boat to China...I needed that time to succeeed. I was banded December 21, 2010. I was 268 and down to 189... My body is molding back with a little slower loss. I finally got an adjustment that spiked a little more restriction...less eating hence the weight loss! Biut only recently.

You are gonna do great!!!! Just take it easy because you are newly banded, this is a process to take day by day. Just stay within the guidelines your doctor has recommended and don't go off that path as much as you would like to. You will succeed because you took this step to be healthier for you!

I was banded 8/19/11 and to this day I've lost almost 70lbs, only about 15 from my goal weight. You can add my to your friends list, take this journey on a by day basis. The best of luck to you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
