I started with a 10 lb goal. As of today I'm down 2 lbs, 8 to go. I may even press for a total of 20. The weekends are the hardest for me, with everyone home..

I go for my 3rd fill today. I have never felt any restriction at all. I have been banded for 3 months and the weight I have lost has came from dieting. I know that I can't stick to a diet forever, thats why I decided to get banded in the first place. I have dieted really good for the last week and a half and have lost 6 lbs, but before that I set still for about 3 weeks. I am praying for restriction after todays fill. Thanks for listening to me whine and complain. Sorry if I got on anyones nerves.

Pray for me!

I was banded the same day as you. You are doing amazing!!! How many fills have you had and do you know how many cc's? Sorry to be so curious, but I still have no restriction. I had my 3rd fill yesterday. I don't know if it made a difference yet or not because I am still on liquids. Just need a lil inspiration I guess.

Congrats on your weight loss!

I will try to be reasonable with my goal and attempt to lose 10 pounds. The one thing I haven't done is exercise. I have the wii Fit and a gym membership and two feet I can walk on but no exercise....That changes today. I also have a BodyBugg but that's in a drawer. I'm kicking myself in the butt to get motivated. We just have to keep pluggin away!

Current: 185

Goal: 175

I too need a kick in the butt!!!!! My weakness is chocolate, munchies and drinking with meals!! :thumbup: I'd love to loose 10 lbs by Valentines!!! My surgery was 4/12/08, and I've lost around 40lbs. Slow, I know, I have been a bad bander the last few months. Time for a fresh start!!!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
