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 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... :(
