I had my last pre-op appointment on 07/19/12 and I weighed in at 381. That's when I started my diet for the surgery. I had my surgery on 08/01/12 and just went to the doctor yesterday (08/14). I weighed in at 353. That's 28 lbs!. So 28 down, 122 lbs to go until I reach my goal of 230. I already went down two pant sizes. I'm supposed to have my 1st fill appointment in two weeks but if I continue this way, I might not need it. With the band the way it is, I'm eating 1 cup of food per meal. I'm excited.

Congratulations! I lost over 40 pounds from the start and I will see my doctor on Aug 21 (first post-surgery appt). Banded on Aug 6 and lost 12 pounds up to today.

We will do good!

Awesome! How is your dieting going? Well I guess I should call it your life changing. I am nervous I will not eat healthy enough! I think I need to write down meals I am going to make and what I eat to keep track. Are you exercising?

I'm not really dieting, just eating a LOT less and I'm staying away from junk food. I was counting calories but my nutritionist told me yesterday that I should focus on portions instead of calories. I eat one cup of food total during meals. Sometimes I eat a Protein bar for lunch while at work. I always make sure at least half of my food is a Protein. I'm still trying to find the right formula, guess its different for everybody.

I forgot to ask if I was ok to exercise when I was at the doctor's so I will call them today to find out.

Thanks. I have my 1st fill appointment on 08/30. If I continue this way, I might not need a fill right away.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
