I was banded November 9 and I've lost 40 pounds. I already had my first fill and I dont feel like it did anything. I am still able to eat the same amount. I am also falling off track since we have left over holiday foods. Should they be thrown away?! I also gained 3 pounds and i feel like im not helping myself. Anyone feeling the same?

I have been feeling the same way. Holiday foods got me a bit off track too, but I'm regrouping and starting this new year right. Hope things work out for you. :)

thanks I am glad i'm not the only one. How many fills did it take you to finally feel the right amount of restriction? I currently have 3.8 cc in my band and i feel the same as I did after surgery. I had 2.8 already in my band from surgery.

I have 7cc's in my 14 cc band right now. That's a total of 5 fills. I'm not sure if I've found that sweet spot just yet though. We just need to follow the rules and eventually we'll get there. Good luck! :)

Just a tip I have been using. When I make my dinner at night, I make sure I have my proper portions and less than one cup of food. I then pack up any leftovers and put them in the fridge. Stops me from reaching for seconds.

Give it away or throw it away for sure! I have found, I just can't have the stuff in the house. I live alone, so what others want isn't an issue. I too endulged over the holidays but as of 1/1 I am back on track. Did cardio yesterday for the first time in a while. A new year, a new me. Good luck!

I was banded on 11/8 and also gained 3 lbs over the holiday. Threw out all the leftovers (cookies-mydownfall) yesterday and back on track. I need to start exercising but have been sick. Hope to start on Saturday.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
