Today will be the start of day 6 of my preop diet and I've only lost 4 lbs. I'm pretty disappointed! :( I'm following everything exact except maybe not getting enough fluids but that shouldn't make me heavier' date=' right?

I don't know your situation, but the health benefits of not being obese were a selling point for me. High risk of heart disease including high blood pressure and cholesterol and also diabetes can be treated effectively by reducing excess body fat to a healthy level.

My wife has been banded for just over a year and has lost just over 70lbs. I am scheduled for the 20th as well. I wanna see my kids grow up.

I am stil glad that I started this journey... You will all be thrilled! My band is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have lost since Surgey #1 130lbs! My goal is to drop about 20-25 more... My biggest words of advise... Follow doctors orders and start exercising ASAP! Good luck to u all!

I hope I feel better tomorrow, the port side pain is horrible, and my stomach is so bloated and tight feeling. I feel no hunger, I feel full to bursting. I have been sipping Water, Protein Shake, slim milk &v8 throughout the day and have napped quite a bit. No nausea so that's a plus.

Anyone else finding it hard to burp? It's so annoying!

Readyforthin.... I have no idea... I think my first slip may have happened bc of doctor error. I swirched Surgeons since then. I am thrilled with this guy! My doctor fixed the slip the first time and warned me it could happen again. This slip was the most painful thing ever and my revision was not planned it was an emergency surgery. I have to say though.. This is the best I have ever felt after surgery. Good luck to u:).

      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?

      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
