I'm the constant complainer about not losing weight but at least the band has not made me any bigger than before surgery so in one year i'm about the same and that has NEVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE

I think you are right Faybie - your body is adjusting to a big change. The scale may not budge but it is very likely that your body is still shrinking!

The best thing you can do is work throught it, don't give up (I say that because that's what I've always done in the past when I reach a plateau). It just doesn't seem fair to be working so hard and not seeing the results.

Patience, patience, patience

I stuck currently but cant commplait over a month lost about 20+ pounds it takes time and patience but we are all in the same journey . Also we will not go back to being unhappy and the same as we were when we started . I think average weighloss is about 1-2 pounds a week as long as you dont gain weight its a plus . and I totally agree your boy shrinks so as long as I keep shrinking that fine with me . :o

2-5 pounds for about 3 months in a row then 6-8 pound loss in a month then 2-5 pounds a month for 3 months then the high loss again. But always a loss and never a gain.

      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! 😞
