My post is going to sound a lot like the others above me...

I am working out 3 days a week (as of Monday it's going to 5 days/week) and I am just not losing on the scale!

At my last fill appointment me and the doctor decided not to give me another fill because I was getting full fast and food was getting stuck. Of course it seemed that no sooner than me walking out of his office that all changed. I swear I can eat ANYTHING again and there are moments that I do (stress or social situations being the main times).

So...I go on Tuesday for a check with him and I'm hoping for a fill again and a good kick in the pants to get me back on track...not to mention maybe a small move in that darn ticker below!!! I can't wait to see that thing really start ticking away :rolleyes2:

Here's to all of us as we struggle through. I know and we all know it will get better but it's so hard!!!! That's why we are here for each other!

I am having the same problem, one day I am too tight and the next I can eat everything.

down 36 pounds since May 19, 08 slow but sure had my first fill on 9/8- pretty easy and slowly eatting things and have learned to stop eating when I get that almost full feeling- I love my band- today an old male friend of mine sent me an email saying congrats on the weightloss, soon you will be a slim trim fox, however you were always a fox to me no matter what you weighted god I love that man! :cry_smile:

keep fighting the good fight people we can do this.

Hi all,

I hit the 170's this past weekend. I am so excited. It's a slow process but at least it's coming off. Prior to being banded, I was continuously gaining weight. I brought a size 12 shorts and they fit. YEA!!!!!!!!

I am feeling great. :redface::thumbup::)

I feel like I've been losing extremly slow the past month- I'm down 43lbs and very happy with the loss so far...

I know I need to work out every day and now that my gym at work is up and running again (It's been under construction and now we have all new equipment!) - I'm on the road to "recovery"! LOL

Hi Everyone!! I haven't posted for a while.... My weight loss was at a stand still until very recently. The good thing about the band is that if I were at a plateau this long without it, I may have given up!!! This seems to be what my pattern has been in the past...lose a few, feel good, try to lose more, plateau, give up.

With the band, you really can't give up!!! I am still restricted, so I can't eat large quantities of food. Also, stress eating is not possible anymore. It just isn't a pleasant feeling to reach for food when I am stressed because 9 times out of 10 it will get "stuck"!!!

For all of you who are feeling like you will never lose, keep trying!!! My loss has been slow, but the weight is gone FOREVER!!! Keep your thoughts positive and forge forward.

All the best!!!

Way to go everyone!!!!

Looks like the May people have really been taking care of business. I have not been as diligent in my workouts this summer. Worked 4 jobs and had 3 classes this summer. I have 3 classes this fall and cut back to 2 jobs. Hopefully that will help me in my workouts. I have been walking but not faithfully. I have been eating pretty well on target, drinking my Protein Shakes, stopping when I am full. Have had a few times when things get stuck. I am learning to really chew well. I bought a bathing suit and joined the pool near my house. Found out when the lane swimming and Water aerobics are. Will do weights and cardio the other days. I have penciled workouts on my calendar. Things have been kind of slow for me in the weight loss dept but not really surprising. I had a kink in my tubing in the original surgery but it is fixed now. I have had a few fills and going for another one in two weeks. I'm really starting to feel like I am close to the sweet spot. I booked a cruise over New Years so hopefully that will be motivation for me. Keep up the good work everyone, caminco

Surgery date: May 9, 2008 10 cc band

Fill date June 10, 2008

Kink in tubing-no fill

Surgery date to fix the kink: July 17, 2008 2cc fill during surgery

Fill Date: August 12, 2008 0.8 cc

Fill Date September 16, 2008 0.8 cc

Fill Date October 14, 2008 ?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
