Finally at sweet spot again!



Recommended Posts

It has taken me more than a year to get to my sweet spot again. I have had fills and unfills numerous times. I PB frequently then gain weight. I have a very fickle band. 3.2 was too much, then 3.0 was too little, then .2 was too little and on and one. Funny thing is now I am at 3.23 and haven't PBd once. I eat really slow and small bites. He said on my loose days I should just eat more and on my tight days eat less. That makes sense. I am down 2 lbs. My goal is another 20 lbs with a stretch goal of 15 more. I now love my band again. I am so glad I've been patient. I have a great surgeon too. I go in for a barrium swallow on Wednesday just to make sure things are okay.:biggrin2:

The band is so fickle. It is either too tight or too loose. I never know. Sometimes things go down, yet at other times-oh no!! I will have my two year anniversary on August 30th. and I still cannot eat chicken. Boy do I miss chicken. Continued success. Be well.

Thanks for the posts guys. I truly can tell you I don't understand the band. I was at 3.2 and I was too tight to liquids. Then I was at 2.9 and too lose, then 3.12 and too loose, then 3.18 and too loose. Now I'm at 3.23 and fine. I can do liquids fine. What is up with that. 3.2 bad, now 3.23 good.

      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! 😞
