Today marks 4 months for me with a weight loss of 66lbs and a total of 28 1/2 inches off my body so far. I've went from a snug 24 to an 18. Although my weight loss has slowed I'm still grateful for every pound I've lost. Yesterday was a non weight goal I met also I was able to get on my husband Harley with him and ride without the issues of being smushed against him and my butt hurting after only a short ride

I hear you! I'm down 35 in 4 months and this last 10 lbs has been WORK! I just got my 2nd fill and I'm feeling more restriction, but still feel like I'm "dieting".

LOVE hearing success stories.

Congrats!! Your doing great!

Wonderful job!! Congrats

The only advice is to follow protein first and stick to 1 cup or less of food. Don't cheat yourself by eating the same foods that got us in this shape to begin with. I read a lot of I eat what I use to just smaller portions that to me is cheating yourself out of working with your band learn to eat healthier and of course exercise as much as you can. I've only had one fill and have to wait until half way through October for my second. Don't ever give up and take it one day at a time

2nd day post op. Not feeling to well. No real pain. Just having a lot of gas. Taking gas-x strips. Any other suggestions? Not much appetite. Trying to eat broth, protein in juice, jello.

Walk as much as possible, even if its just around the house. It helps with the gas.

Walk that is all that helped me. Gas x didn't do anything
