Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've been reading for a while and decided to start posting. I finally want to get and give support. I've been banded for 7 mos. now and have been struggling for the last 2.5 months with some regain. I am hoping someone can give me some really good advice about how to get back on track.

Can't wait to "meet" you all!

Hi Jennifer, I'm the DH. Welcome to LBT. My wife is going thru the same thing. She just had her second fill and she can eat just about anything, it seems. And I know I saw that barium just BARELY squeeze thru that band. What's up with that? And if she is losing at all, it is sooooooooo slowly. Maybe I should sign her up as a turtle??? Whaddayathing?

Hi Jennifer! Is it possible that you need a fill? I'm struggling with regain myself right now, so I feel your pain. I know my problem is exercise. Time to get my butt moving. Good luck to you!

hi jennifer. welcome! no one likes to excercise but having a band makes it crucial to do something. walking is a great tool and doing it for 30 min a day is awesome. you could also break that up, doing 3 10 minute sessions or 2 15 minute sessions. i know its hard but its really necessary. had you been journaling at all? im terrible with that but that is also a good way to see where you are. if its been a month since your fill, you probably do need another one. talk to your docs. most of them have great support teams for us to bend their ears. keep us posted.

Hi everyone, hi jennifer, don´t worry about anything, like ethansgrandma said, start off with 30 minutes of exercise, as she said 3 sessions of 10 minutes each, or 2 of 15. You can start off walking, you can invite a friend to go with you. It´s true, no one likes to exercise, but it is the most important part of our daily life style, exercise for good health. Don´t take it as to lose weight, but for good health. I know it´s easy to say this, and also hard to act, but it depends on each one of us, if we really want to go for it. Good luck jennifer!!!

      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?
