Hi Gingerbug, I have lost 15kilos which I think converts to 33lbs in 15 weeks. I think I am a slow loser but am happy it is coming off. I am walking the dog and using the treadmill and sometimes the eliptical walker so it should be moving. It's good to see the scales going down for the first time in years. Feeling better than I have for years. Hope every one else is going great.

I am doing well, been making it to the gym regularily. Seriously, I was HURTING for several days after my first round of weight lifting. Feeling better today and thinking I might go for the arm weights again tomorrow. DH has been gone since two weeks after the surgery. He is a commercial diver and has been on a job out of the country since the middle of January. He will be home end of this week! I have been hush hush about the success of the band so I hope he manages to notice. LOL, that would be a man for you to not mention anything. I have had 4 fills total and am at 6 or so cc's in my 10 cc band. Currently, this level is working out really well for me.

Gingerbug, most husbands don't notice things but he will have to notice that amount of weight off. I had 6mls already in my band and have had 2 fills and now have 7 1/2 mls. I feel like I could do with a tiny bit more but I am still losing and can eat anything with no problem. I like the fact that I can go to a BBQ or something and eat meat and no-one knows that I have been done. I hate the thought of PB'ing in public. Thank goodness I haven't done that either at home or out,(yet). Keep up the weights. You are doing great.

Ginger whats your secret? You and I started at basically the same weight I have lost about 26 pounds now and I am at 6.6cc's in a 10cc band. Are you low carbing it? That's what I am going to try now is to cut out a lot of the carbs because I am losing so slow. Plus I work out with a trainer twice a week. Great job by the way!!!

I had my surgery on 1/21 and I have lost a total of 46 pounds and this includes what I lost on the pre-op diet.

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
