Banded for 8 months and have lost 6.5 stone

I guys

I'm new to this 8months down and have lost 6.5 stone, and am delighted better than I ever cod if imagined. I knew I would lies but not this quickly, it has been really easy as well.

Have had 2 band fills and the last one has lasted since October.

This band fill has left me needing to consume very little which at first I thought was good

But my question is

Is it ?

Is it really healthy to live on so little?

Feeling confused

Julie

it sounds as if you are doing really good. i think most of us consume 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food 3 times a day. i also take a Multivitamin and vit. b12 vitb 50 Biotin and Calcium 1000mg and vit. d5000. and at least 60 grams of Protein a day. the protein usually comes from food not supplements. but i do drink Protein Shake if i need the supplement. your body will let you know if something is wrong. are you getting blood work once in awhile to make sure you are chemically normal? i hope this is helpful

Congratulations on your weight loss. You're doing good and going down in weight. All of us lose at a different rate.

Best wishes

Thanks guys really appreciate talking to people who understand what I'm going through

Really difficult when people don't understand and don't wanna feel like I'm moaning

We are here for you. Like begets like. You are doing fantastic. You are not gaining weight are you.? I know just how you feel , even after almost 4 years. I eat very very little. I am so used to it. That's why quality is more important than quantity.. Crapy food in your mouth is just wasted time and calories, you wouldn't put bad gas in your car would you.? Or in your dog or cat.

And if you have been reading the post, you know how I feel about alcohol.

Keep up ALL the positive things in your life. Hugs
