Finally, A Little Restriction!



Recommended Posts

Had my 2nd fill today and I finally feel like I have some restriction. Hopefully I'll get this weight loss ball rolling!

My surgery date was May 18. I've lost about 25 llbs since my heaviest weight last fall.

I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one out there who has not lost a lot wt. These are reporting 35 or 40 pound losses. I keep thinking I'm failing at this. Right now it's just like it was before each day I think I'm going to really stick to this diet today and by the time night comes I have blown it. My surgery was April 9th and I have only lost 6pounds. Somr restriction after my second fill two weeks go but no wt loss to report. I have 6cc in my 11 cc band.

I was banded 2/2/12 and some days I have restriction and a lot of days I don't. I have 6.2cc in a 10cc band. I go back on 7/30 for my next fill. I hope I get perminent restriction after this next fill. I have only loss 25 lbs so far. I need to loss 50 more. I need to get this ball rolling.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
