5 1/2 Months Banded



Recommended Posts

Im 66 lbs down i went from 326 to 260 I only have 3 1/2 ccs in my band i was very sensitive to my band so it didnt take much i had 2 the first time and 1 1/2 the second time I feel that its time for another fill now and i think maybe 2 1/2 because after my second fill i was still real hungry and i can eat more

Wow, you look GREAT! Congratulations on getting to this place. And on being tuned into your body so you recognize needing another fill, etc. I'm just at the beginning of that and it feels a little tricky to determine.

On the 66 pounds, some one posted a list of what things weigh a while back and somehow I latched on to a cinder block weighs 33 pounds. So you've lost two cinder blocks -- imagine the relief of not carrying those around anymore! Best wishes and thanks for the inspiration this morning.

Congratulations!! I can't wait till I start seeing significant weight loss... I go in for my 3rd fill on Thursday, I currently have 5 cc's in my band but still get hungry between meals...

You look amazing!

Can you guys give some encouragement? I'm only 11 weeks out and down 14 lbs...I was 16 lbs but gained. Now I'm trying to lose it again but I still feel like I'm fighting a diet! When did you start seeing the weight come off and what changed? What did you do differently? anything?

New Deb,

You are at a point where it is very important to eat slowly. . . . . chew every bite and really listen to your body (or I should say your band). . . . . . . .I can really relate to what you are saying. . . . . . . . it will only be a few days. . . . eat only what you know your body really needs. . . . . . .not just what you really like. . . . . . . cut the quantity so your new pouch doesn't stay stretched. . . . . . . . and tough it out. . . . . . . this hunger feel will pass and you will be in glory land.

With the holiday food. . . . . I intend to only eat 1/2 of anything I take. . . . . . don't know what I'll do with the other half . . . maybe take some zip-loc baggies along and place the other half it in the refrigerator for take-out. Ha! (I will be eating at my son & daughter's homes so I can take that home for future meals at home. . . . . . or I can feed my neighbor's big dog.) ;)

Merry Christmas & a Happy Healthy New Year

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
