I had my surgery on April 30,2012. My highest weight was 223. When I met my Dr. I was 202. The day if surgery I was down to 190 ( thanks to the two week liquid diet:)) ) I set my goal weight for 123. That would be 100 pounds down from my highest weight! I am 46 years old

( as of today! ) I am 5'1. So , I am short! :))

I am now 122 pounds! I made it to my goal weight before my birthday! What a great gift I have given myself! A healthy new life! Full of hope!

I wish you ALL the best! Remember to always follow the rules and put your health first! :))

Today is a GREAT BIRTHDAY!!!!

Thank you all so much! I have tried to eat the best I can. If I do eat out I always choose something healthy! (Except tonight, I did have a little cake for my birthday! LOL) But not a lot.

I have a bad back so I can't say I worked out real hard. but I walk. I drink my Water and eat my Protein. I don't drink for 30 minutes before I eat or for 30 minutes after.

I got to a place where I was drinking before I would eat, and I stopped losing. Then I realized, up until then I never drank anything before my meals, so I made the change. I went back to the way I had started out and the weight loss started again!

At one point I also started eating a little more than I should have been, and I stopped that too! I give my body what it needs. I don't over eat just because it tastes good anymore. I use to measure my food, but I don't any more.

I am in my green zone. There isn't any food I CAN"T eat. BUT, There are foods I WON"T eat! I don't eat bread, rice, tortillas, or anything like that.

I just try to stick to the lap band rules. And so far, It's working for me!

      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.

      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! 😞
