I'm adjusting :( I guess that 211 was a fluke or my scale had a bizzare day! I was 213.4 the day before and I should have known something was up when I dropped 2.4 pounds in a day!!! Then TOM came and I gained 4 pounds (on top of the 213.4)...NOW TOM is over and I'm back to 213.4....so...I am going WAY conservative on my challenge, because it's tough enough to lose weight, for me, over the holidays...I'm just not going to stress about it...if I see ANY loss between now and NY I'll consider it a victory!

TOM & Turkey Day has been tuff! Walking 90mins/850cal a day to break into the 170's - .5 to go and NOT coming off fast enough. 2nd fill next wk, hopefully that will ignite things. Fingers crossed.

Good Luck All~

Hi All Thanksgiving to New Years Challengers:

I guess I'm a little bit chart challenged. I wanted to update my current weight on the chart but ended up screwing it up. Could one of you more experienced bandsters please update my current weight to show 237, with 7 pounds to go? Thank you.

I got my second fill on 11/21 and the results are adding up quickly - yippee! Maybe this is my sweet spot.

I love my band.:whoo:

Sue

Holliwags!!! Congratz on TWOderville! Well done! Time for some new pictures??? :confused:

I have to say, I'd be telling my doc to go jump in a lake if he had me on 6 months of mushies and liquids. I got the band so I WOULN'T feel hungry, and here your doc is, not letting you even USE your band....AND he's FILLING you and there is NO WAY he can know if you're at good restriction, underfilled, or overfilled if you're not eating solids. I'm sorry if I'm being offensive. I know most of us are very protective of our surgeons...but come on! The whole purpose of the band is to STOP the hunger by letting us EAT small portions of REAL food and feeling FULL!

Again...I'm so sorry for my rant, but I feel for you...I have SO much respect for you for staying on liquids and mushies for over 5 months! You have SO much more will power than most!!

Aaahhhh...that makes sense! I'm so glad to hear it was just a fill diet :P

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
