Banded Just Over a Year...



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I haven't been on here in a while but I wanted to check in and see how my results are comparing with everyone else. I was banded last February so I am 13 months in and I have lost 90 pounds. Is that good? I still would like to lose another 60 so I'm more than halfway there, but I was looking for some motivation.

I lost the first 65 pounds by the band alone. That took about 9 months. Since then I have been dieting (well, watching like I've been supposed to all along) and exercising 6 days a week along with strength training. I lost another 25 pounds doing that but the results I am seeing in my body are more impressive than the numbers.

Anyway, if anyone else is one year in and you can share your story with me, I'd appreciate it!

Talk to you soon!

Congratulations. You're doing great!

I was banded last July, but am 11 months out from starting my diet and my new life. I am down 115 pounds now. I have about 50 to go. Size 12 is my goal, and it will probably be when I weigh around 160, but not really sure.

Tell me, how does the strength training work for you? I have been walking and using eliptical exclusively. I'm going to have my gall bladder removed in three weeks. After I recover from that I'm thinking about doing something different for exercise - strength training. Please tell me what you do and how it feels.

You and I must have the same size band because our fill levels are similar. I believe I'm at 1.8 cc's in my band that holds maximum 4 cc's.

Again, congratulations on your loss. Please drop me a line when you have a few minutes to tell me about your strength training.

You're so close to Onederland!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
