Hi bjr,

Hang in there and discuss with your doctor about a more aggressive fill at the visit. Perhaps the doctor has a good reason and that would be great to share with you. My first fills were much more aggressive and now I am getting tiny fills when I get them (last fill was .2ml).

Hang in there, when you get dialed in the restriction will really help with managing the food. In the mean time keep up with your Water, exercise and getting the appropriate amount of rest, it really does help.

You can do it!

Happy banding,

Mary

Well, it's coming off slowly, but I'm getting there. It's been a rough month for me, we had 12" of snow, I twisted my OTHER ankle, still in a brace sometimes, so haven't been able to walk this month, however having said that another pound closer to Twoterville!

Went to my first support group meeting last week as well. Can't wait till I'm in the banded bunch!

WYD,

I am assuming based on your screen name that you are a man? Well, 3.1 lbs. per week is not unreasonable thinking in that instance.

Good luck!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
