Congratulations!. Means you'll probably have to fast during Christmas season. I started 2 months early from band date to lose 34 pounds prior to band day. For the doctors fast, I was suppose to lose 12 pounds and I lost 20 pounds prior to surgery. Just yesterday (Dec 11) I had my third fill of 1cc.I had to beg for this fill because i met his 2 pounds per week poal. I probably won't get any more fills. He's very conservative docotr. He wants you to attack your weight problem and not rely on the band. He says 2 pounds a week is great. If you lose lots more, NO fills.

Best wishes

Congratulations! Stick around here for support, knowledge & inspiration.

Someone on the forum said to write a letter to yourself on why LBS is important to you and what you expect from it. Then when times get tough, which it will, you can go back and remind yourself why you wanted this. Thought that was a good idea.

You have to have WANT POWER!

Best Wishes!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
