As of 8:03AM 7/23/2013.... I finally cleared the 50 lbs. lost hurdle! 50.3 to be exact! :-D

Congratulations! I'm at a stall right now, have lost 55 lbs since 12/28/12 but I still have to reach my goal which will be ONEderland (under 200 lbs.). After that my next goal will be to get below 190. I'm setting my goals in 10 pound increments. If I didn't do that I'd be so frustrated! Hopefully I'll get to my goal by my one year bandiversary in Dec, 2013. One day at a time, slow and steady.

I have the same goal of seeing my weight at 199 and then working in 10 pound increments. I was banded July 25 and weighed 244. I had been dieting off and on for a year and half and lost 60 pounds. Got to 202 pounds! Went off the diet regime of weighing in weekly etc at the beginning of February this year Gained 42 pounds in 6 months. I hope I am successful with this. Good luck to you!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
