I am up for giving an update. I have lost 31.5 pounds. For weeks there was nothing, and now I have started to lose again. I had to make some changes to get the weight loss going again. I started exercising (cardio/toning), increased Protein, and increased Water intake.

Banded 10/12 ..so far I've lost 36.5 pounds. I am looking forward to my first fill on 11/27 as I feel constantly hungry. I'm trying to stick to a 1000 calorie a day diet til then (which is hard when you have no restriction).

In one more pound, I will have lost 1/4 of the weight I need to make my final goal! woohooo hoooo!

Well I've lost almost 30, but half that was during the pre-op diet. Blah. I have been exercising really hard, but the eating part's not going as great. I am finding myself making stupid decisions again -- got to STOP that!! I get a fill in a couple weeks...YAY!!! :) You guys are all doing great, so congrat!!

My lapband surgery was on October 8, and I want to be a tenacious ten. Can I be a part of your group? I would love to get a little motivation as I am struggling a little bit. I am not sure why; I feel that I am following all the rules.

By the way, I love the name! I want to be tenacious!

Hi to all the Tenacious Tens,

I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This time next year we'll all be comparing fabulous before and after pictures so that's something to aim for - no pressure of course!! Don't forget to take a Christmas Day 2007 photo to compare with Christmas 2008 - should be fun!

Have a wonderful holiday (if you're not working) and enjoy your friends and family.

Very best wishes, Jude.

      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.

      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! 😞
