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.

      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! 😞
