I thought it might be fun to start a thread to report on our weight losses so far. June is half over so we are about half banded. It would be exciting to see and motivating for those yet to be banded. Counting your pre op liquid diet, if you had one until now how much have you lost so far??

For me I started losing as I started researching bariatric surgery and lost 10 lbs by the time I went to my seminar, but from the time of my first consult appt. with my surgeon and now 9 days post op I lost 22 more. For a total of 32 lbs. but not sure if I should call it 32 or 22, either way it's good. And might as well count from my highest! LOL

Hello everyone! I haven't logged on in a while because I was becoming more and more discouraged as my weight loss slowed down. I got another fill and I began losing again. I haven't lost as much as some of you but I am back on the right track and determined to get the rest of this weight off. I am so excited because as of yesterday, I have lost 100lbs. I am looking and feeling better than I have ever felt in my life. At 26yrs. old I am now smaller than I was at 16yrs. old. I never thought I would ever see this day. I thought I would be a big girl for the rest of my life. I see a brighter future ahead of me now. I will never let my weight hold me back again.

Great2bethin,

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I have had out of town guess in all last week.

My normal day:

I go for a 2 mile walk in the morning, brisk.

I normally have a protien bar with 19 g of Protein for Breakfast.

yogart with granola for lunch due to I have been having slim issues since my last fill. I use to eat salad with turkey.

snack chocolate covered soy nuts 100 cal. 3 g of protient

dinner normally is protient (steak, or fish soemtimes chicken) and veg

I walk all day at work.

I go for another walk at night, I just got a bike so I am working on bike riding at night. I haven't been on a bike for 30 years.

I don't think I'm getting enough protient any more since my last fill but I can't eat anymore.

I am 5 foot and I feel comfortable at 162, but I would like to be about 130lb.

I have just got so discourage I'm not sure what else to do.

Any sugguestions would be great.

Thanks

I am so glad to read your posts..not that I am glad you all are also struggling, but because I have felt like such a failure. I have only lost 53 lbs and just celebrated my 1 yr band anniversary. I too have not done all my part to help loose the weight. I have only had 1 fill and that was months ago, but I am getting stuck at times. I am able to consume much more then I should and know a fill is probably due, but am afraid since I am on occassion getting stuck. I would love to chat with those going through my similar circumstance.

JKPenny - Responding quite slow to your post as I haven't been on the website for probably 9 months. I found your post and connected because that is where I am at right now. Did you ever go get that fill since your post? How is it going? I really need to get back on track. I got this band for a reason and need to work it. Would love to hear your experience.

I have lost 53 pounds so far ,and i was banded on 6-26-08 ,I have lost it very slowly,but at least I never gained at all! i have 36 more pounds to go.Good luck yall!

Well updates......I did have my second fill and have lost a total of 83 lbs. My 2 yr bandanniversary was June 4. I would have like to have had more loss....but I'm completely happy if this is as good as it gets. I'm losing about 2 lbs per month however slow it is...its still a loss. Would love to see how everyone else is doing.

Congrats JK!! I am doing pretty well. I lost 126 lbs my first year, I maintained that pretty much my entire 2nd year however, in the recent couple months have gained about 15 that I am trying to lose again. I had 2 knee replacements and a move out of state and well things just got away from me. But I am stopping it at 15 lbs before it gets to 50!

I just hit 75 down, and I'm about 15 months into band2. I've had several fills, and am at about 6 - 7 ccs.
