I got banned in January 2013 and have lost 72 pounds so far and still moving right along. Off of blood pressure meds, off all diabetic medication and off almost all other medications. I would do it all over again, it's been great so far. I have a question, how do you get the weight loss ticker on the bottom of your page?

Congrats, on the top left of the page click on your user name and it will open a drop down box, you will see the ticker there.

Good luck

Did you make a ticker already? If you go to the edit profile section online (don't know from the app) you should be able to make the ticker and then when you edit your signature you can add it to your signature.

Good luck =) and GREAT weight loss!!

fantastic weight lost...I was banded Jan15 and have lost 40 lbs .. I know this was the best thing for me.. I know I will healthier and happier for the years to come... I can't believe I have not had any weight gain since starting this... not that I have tried but usually by now on any other weight loss deal I would have gained weight back...

Really ? Why what's the matter ? If you want to vent I'm here. I don't have any regrets other than the two weeks of liquids is really getting to me. One more week but I go back to work tomorrow so that will help. Stay strong an focus on the end results :).

Hi wheelcrazy, I am with you. I was banded on 5/20/2013 and I am still thinking Lord what have I done. Thank God I have lost weight so far and made it through the first week of liquid diet. I'm praying to overcome this feeling of buyers remorse.

Everything is ok. It's just really hard on this liquid diet. I have no energy. I keep getting headaches. My port site hurts. It's all such a change.

Take some Gas-X strips, using a heating pad (worked wonders for me) and get up and walk around your house or outside to get the blood flow moving. I also shrugged my shoulders from time to time but what your feeling is temporary! I'm 6 days post op and I'm glad that phase is over!! Take care!

      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?
