Hey there! I was banded 10 days before my 30th birthday. My starting weight was 300lbs and so far I've lost just under 20lbs. I too would like a buddy. Good luck. Message me if you would like.

I am 35. I was banded on 2/14/12 and weighed 321. I currently weigh 291. I've had 2 fills and am now feeling restriction. I've had a lot of difficulty with eating too fast and it causing discomfort. So much that I don't even want to eat sometimes. I'm rarely hungry. I'm trying to focus on getting enough Protein and Water in, which I find hard to do. Every morning I have a Protein shake for Breakfast. I just joined a gym and plan to workout at least 3 times a week. I've been walking almost everyday. My next appt is 5/15 and I'm wondering if I need a fill or not. I just downloaded an app for my phone called Eating Slow and it times you between bites. It's helping, just not something you want to use in public. Lol!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
