Way to go Idaho!!!!

What a big weight change - I'm sure it was a moment to get on the scale and have it move in the right direction.

Hello to all May-Dazers out there....Well, for me, One month (surg date 05/05/05) has come and gone. I have had my first fill...I am down 33 pounds....I started Curves yesterday and I feel great! I dont know if the fill is working....we will see. I understand that it takes a couple of days for it to kick in. I just ate dinner. Some chopped up chicken with salsa and cheddar cheese...looked nasty but tastes really good.

Okay...just checking in with ya'll

I was wondering how all the May Bansters were doing. :( I am now down 20 pounds but that's not "official per the doctor" but our scales measure the same so I will count it...lol. I don't go back til the 28th so I will have to keeping drinking the Water, eating the Protein and riding the exercise bike. Congrats May bandsters!!!!! Keep us all posted.

Hey May Bandsters....

I am dragging this thread up from the archives to check in on everyone...Hows it going?? I had surgery 5/5/05....(I like saying that date.) I am down about 48 pounds. I go for a check up and possible fill on 8/30...I am in between clothe sizes, so most of my jeans are too loose, then some of them are a bit too tight. I don't like anything to be too tight on my port scar. Shirts, I am still wearing a size 22-24 but my boobs are shrinking. Hopefully the shirt size will change soon. I have about 60 pounds to go till I reach my goal. I will be under 200 by the end of October...soo its going slow and steady. They say thats what wins the race, slow and steady......I have had two fills so far...I am up to 2.0 cc's right now. I think I need a touch to be added to that. I can eat regular portions right now. We will see what Dr Kwon thinks.....

All right guys...I look forward to hearing about you/from you all.....Hope all is well!

TTYL

Hi to all my fellow May band buddies!!! I was banded 05-05-05

and am doing GREAT!!! I have had 2 fills so far, currently at 3.1cc in 4 cc band. Does that mean I cannot get very much more restriction????any way, I have lost 33 pounds so far and down to smaller clothes too. Why is it that my breasts have gotten so much smaller first??haha For the first time in years my stomach is smaller tahan my breast though and I'm kinda likin that.

My divorce will be final in a couple of weeks and he said he cannot tell that I have lost weight. everyone else has noticed, even people who I only casually know have noticed!!

I hope every one is doing good and feeling better about themselves. Has anyone else noticed how much more energy you have?

      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! 😞
