I had surgery November 2014. I'm down 18 lbs, and counting. For the first few months after surgery I didn't lose (I gained back some of my pre-surgery loss too). I was very relieved to read on these boards that this is normal. It took me time to get my band adjusted, and once it was I started losing 0.5 lbs/week and I am thrilled (some weeks I lose 1.5 lbs, some weeks I gain 0.5 lbs, some weeks I stay the same but it averages to 0.5 down each week over time). I would love to lose faster but I eat so many foods I love (in small quantities) that I'd rather eat what I want and lose slow than try and be stricter and lose faster.

My whole life I struggled to lose any weight, and even when I tried I often ended up gaining, so this consistent loss over time is wonderful.

I hope this post helps people who are starting out or losing slow!

Surgery was June 2011, lost 100+ Lbs.....it doesn't get any better than this....

Finished with diets and concerns about loosing or gaining weight....

A whole new way of living has opened up....Socially, mentally, excellent health, and yes, financially...

Best decision I could have done for myself.

Surgery Date 1/15/13

Starting Weight 198.8

current weight 125

Love my Band - No more diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

No complications no problems. I am not on a diet for the first time in 25 years. Love having the ability to walk , swim, ride my horse and travel. Buying clothes is fun again. Best decision I have ever made .

Lap Band March 2014. Lost 104 so far. I want to lose about fifty more. My constant hunger is gone and I can walk away from delicious food after a moderate amount. Nothing short of amazing.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
