Had the band done in Sept./07 and have lost 102 pounds so far with 29 left to go. YAY!! But I'm S T U C K at 168lbs and have been for about 6-8 weeks. Maybe a very small fill but I'm not eating much at all now. I get a good amount of exercise being in retail selling as a job and also go to the gym. Is there any food that promotes weight loss??? Asparagus? Watermelon? I need all the tips I can get to lose these last few pounds.:thumbup:

I'm also stuck! I did take a few days off from exercise 3 days and today I had so much more energy! I guess you really do need to change things up or the bod adapts and maximizes the incoming calories and energy consumption. I've lost 65 pounds and want to lose another 35-40 to reach my goal weight. I'm going to try to start weight training to mix up my routine. I've been walking and runnning 4 miles ,6-7 days a week, twice a day but now nothing seems to work. The 3 day rest seemed to help my strength and energy but I did gain some weight. It is frustrating to plateau for so long after so much good fast weight loss. I'm trying to be positive and view this as a long term body learning experience. Let me know what you try when you start losing again as I'm positive you will as you have done so well so far!

      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.

      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! 😞
