China, hope you are surviving getting back to reality. The last fill i got has really given me some good restriction. I have a hard time even eating in the morning so I just do Protein Shakes. This works for me as I don't have time to stop and eat. I am still waiting for the scale to start dropping again. Rose I hope all is well with you too. Have a great weekend everyone. Laurel

Thanks Laurel for responding.....you were the only ONE! My band hasn't slipped & I am thankful. It was quite sore and I went to my doc. All is well now; didn't have to have an unfill. It was a scare tho. I won't be writing here anymore. Seems some people on this board are just concerned with themselves and their travels, not how people are doing on the lap band. Thanks again!!

Hi all - haven't posted in a while, but I thought you might want to know that things have started moving again -- I think I was stressed out and that's why I couldn't shift even a pound. Now I've been on holiday for a few weeks and I lost 5 lbs... I'm now almost 50lbs down and more importantly am consistently under 200 for the first time in about 8 years!! It's really wonderful! I still have a long journey, but I'm more hopeful. How is everyone doing?

Hi China, I go back to the Dr. on tues. I haven't gotten to the gym but I am off next week and plan on getting there then. I also have an appt. for my knee. It is getting painful and making it harder to push myself at the gym. How did you make out with the

Hello all sorry its been so long since I have been on but life has been very full for me taking care of my Mom and Mother in law. I also have had computer problems so we had to go out and get me a new computer. So I now I forget how to update my tickler so I will give you an update on my weight loss. It is coming off slow but it is coming off. I have no had a fill in over 3 months and from the beginning of my journey starting at 229 I am currently 184 so I am down 45 lbs. I have about 14 lbs to my goal. I hope to accomplish that goal by my birthday in February. I feel so much better physically. No more pain in my feet, back and legs...its amazing what caring all the weight aroun does to us.

Laurel and China I am so glad to hear that you guys are doing well.

I will try and sign on more often.

      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! 😞
