Hi my name is Adrienne, I am 35 years old and I live in Missouri. I am 5 days post-op, I had my surgery March 27th 2014. I weighed in at 357 on my pre-op appointment and today I weighed in at 340. I am do excited to start this new chapter in my life. I have been overweight pretty much my whole life, I am ready for a change. I have had a few freinds who have had the Lap-Band and some have been really succesful and some not so much. I did a lot of researching and decided that it would be what was best for me. My doctors name is Dr. T. Kido, he is GREAT, he is very nice and answers all my questions that he can. My friend suggested sigining up for one of theses sites, she said it helped her get through some rough days. I am really looking forward to meeting new friends taht are going through or have gone through the changes.

I'm 36 and was banded on March 28th! Let's go team! I've been feeling good and sticking to Clear Liquids plus three Protein Shakes a day. Let me tell you, Soup broth is my new BFF. French onion soup made up and then strained is just so tasty compared to all the artificially sweetened stuff clear liquids are made up of. If you get bored strain soup it's been a life saver.

      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!!

      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?

      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
