I had my surgery in November of 2007. I have lost 70 pounds. I have hit a stand still and I don't want it to stop. I need to lose more weight! I loved your story. Have you ever had to have your band loosened because you got something stuck?

How's your progress since you last posted in September? A co-worker of mine is getting closer to lap-band reality(ins. approval, going to seminar then will be referred to a surgeon etc.). So I'm following her journey as well. I'm going to get organized after my college classes are done for summer and see all of what I have to do in order to get approved also. What a great inspiration all of you are to share your stories and photos!:wub:

It was good to see your before and after pics. My surgery date was Feb 24. I have only lost 7 lbs since then. My first fill was last Friday. Was it slow going for you in the beginning? My starting weight was 227 lbs. I have started using elipitical or treadmill for 30 minutes before and after work. Hope that gives me a little kick start! I am getting a little down on myself for not loosing more! But I try to keep telling myself-at least I am not gaining. Used to I would loose 6 lbs- gain 4 lbs then loose 4 lbs gain 6 lbs. and on and on. So no yoyo so far. That is something to be greatfull for. I have never done one of these chat room things before. But I figured any motivation I could get would be good thing!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
