question for those who have already been banded...I'm starting with a BMI of approx 34 and I want to get to a BMI of 22-24. so, that's about 60-70 lbs. what has your experience been with the pace of the weight loss?

It's veeeeeeerrrrryyy slow.

I started w/bmi of 30, and have only lost 18 lbs since February 14th. Seems like nothing compared to others that have lost 30-40lbs that were banded around the same time I was:)

It is slower for low bmi-ers. We will get there! Slowly but surely. I need to lose 30 more to get to my goal of 115!!

Hi Kah... As a matter of fact I had my 2nd fill today at 4:00. I now have 5cc in my band. Hopefully I will feel some restriction with this one:) up to now I have none whatsoever! If I let myself I could totally pig out:)

Could u really eat anything without the fills/restriction? I thought there was some slight restriction after the surgery even without a fill?

It's been super hard..

A lot of will power and just the thought that I payed $10,000 out if pocket keeps me motivated! Lol

One if my little tricks is buying little 1/2 cup tupperwares, i only eat what it can hold, for example I'll fill 1 with tuna and one with black beans/red beans/or chickpeas.. I'll take both little 1/2 cups to work and that's my 1 cup lunch.

I need to get exercising though. It's my weakness.

So when were u banded? What has bend your progress do far?

I'm scheduled to be banded May 30. Going to start tapering my diet next week (less calories/more protein) and then 1 day of liquids before surgery...then 2 weeks liquids after. I'm sorta having my last hurrah right now if you know what I mean!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
