Lost 8 Lbs



Recommended Posts

Last Saturday I joined this forum in search for help after I had gained all my weight back that I had lost from being banded in late 2011. Through finding much motivation from everyone and finding it again in myself, I have now lost 8 lbs. I have about 40 more to go to get back to where I was, but at least I'm heading in the right direction.

That is so awesome!!! I find that I have to keep my head in the game by also going to my local weight kiss support group, using this forum, using my fitness pal and exercising regularly, it all makes me more successful in this journey. I realize we all are so different and not one regimen works for everyone, not one foid or Protein Drink. We all lose at various levels and times. I'm just so glad that we have one very thing in common...we were all heavy and we all want to make a lifestyle change that will improve our health. This is a huge step in our lives:)

I found it to be easier for me if I set small goals, I would look at 110 that I needed and wanted to lose and get over whelmed. Would always say its going to take forever! This time I have set my goals in 10lb increments. I'm at 242 and excited about getting in the 230s.

So glad to hear this because I myself am getting back in the game. I had lost 80 pounds but have gained back 30. I can't believe I did this to myself again. I have an appointment for a fill but have dedicated to getting myself back in gear. Have my Protein all ready to go. We are all in this together. Please keep us posted on your success.

We can do this. Glad to hear you can get a fill, me on the other hand can not until I lose more weight. My dr wont until I learn how the band works. So when I go back, he's going to know I figured it out. Still another 8lbs until I'm back to the weight I was the last time I seen him may.

Good luck, also keep me posted on your weight loss.

So how did you or do you gain weight back when you are banded? If you start gaining do you go in to get a fill?

Congratulations for getting back on track!

Regarding the question on regain, The band does not keep you from eating the wrong things, like slider foods (ice cream, chips, etc.). We all have to figure out how we got to where we are and change those issues. You have to be disciplined and eat the right foods, the right amount and exercise. It is not about just getting a fill. It is abutting eating right, being satisfied with what you are eating and feeling full/satisfied for several hours. Only get a fill if you are eating correctly and not satisfied/full for several hours. And, do not eat until you are full. Eat you prescribed meal and wait 20 minutes to see if you are full/satisfied. You will have to learn how to do that and occupy yourself with something other than eating between meals.

You can all do it, just takes lots of practice!

      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...

      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
