i lost from 218-206 before surgery, then 206-198 with no fill, then 198-190 on six fills for about a year and a half...and finally i lost down to 165 with the seventh fill, and i just had my eighth fill (3.5cc/4cc band) and lost another two. it has been two years since my surgery.

I will do that! I had a hard time tracking carbs b/c I am confused about sugars and all that so I just try to take the advice from another member on here and avoid fruit juices/sauces and I use splenda when I make sweet tea. My typical day is I do indulge in the a.m. I bought hubby an espresso maker and so I have ONE latte before work (also helps since it is warm. I have for b'fast a two egg omelet with cheese and two strips of turkey bacon. lunch is usually a salad with turkey and about 1Tbsp of dressing (vinagerette) and I have a slimfast shake as midmorning snack since lunch is about 2p..afternoons are my downfall I do not know how to beat the headhunger and the urge to snack so trying to stay focused on other things afterwork! I teach so I am home about 2:45 everyday that is when old habits kick in but I am trying to focus!! I have been a "secret eater" since about age 13 though, where i eat and eat when no one is around and stuff myself and it is a hard thing to break from

I am now at 8ml and officially can not have eggs and lettuce. OH THE PAIN!! Feels like a heart attack or something! So embarrasing! But, I am glad I am at restriction now!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
