Hey David,

I don't want to nitpick, but your math is off. You're down 60 lbs!! Did you do that in only one month?!! Holy moly, Batman, why did you get a fill?

opps down to 298.. only 50lbs, but boy am I happy. I got the fill because I started to add weight this past week... I was eating and eating. Just had dinner was hoping for more restriction was able to eat one and a half bowls of Soup with no problems and still felt like I could eat more. far less food than before the banding!!!

P.S. I follow the doc's orders to the "t". I figure he knows more than I do and he's a bandster......

Oh, I must admit I'm jealous on several levels!

First, though, congratulations! Wow, 50 lbs!

Your doctor is banded? That must be the best-case scenario. I constantly feel like I am educating my doctor's office staff about what I am going through with the band, and trying to get them to understand the struggles to lose weight without restriction.

Also, I have to wait and wait for my first fill because my doctor is so busy. I'm scheduled for May 6. That's 10 weeks post-op for me. I'm down 18.4 (to be exact!), but I had lost 18 within the first four weeks.

Now I'm eating and eating. It is so discouraging.

Let us know how you do with the fill. My sister and I were banded on the same day. She had a fill last week of 1.7cc. and so far feels no restriction. So, she is feeling discouraged.

Again, congratulations. I'm hoping to be down 50 in six months.

Oh, you men! You always lose weight faster than we do!!!!!!

Keep going, candy

      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.
