How much did you lose 4 months out?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery back in September and right now I am at a loss of about 33 pounds. So how much weight did you fellow bandsters lose when you were 4 months out? I know everyone loses differently, but Im just curious as to what other people have lost compared to what I have.

Thanks!! :thumbup:

I was banded 3rd Sept, had 5 fills up to 7.5cc in a realize band and have lost 25 pounds. I had lost 29 pounds but put on 4 pounds the last 2 weeks due to personal issues and eating and to escape. But its a new year and its full of possibilities and lots of adventure for me. Happy New Year EVERYONE!!!

I was banded just one day before you (Sept 9) and I have lost 38 lbs. I certainly haven't been perfect on this diet, so I know it would be possible to lose faster, but the way I am dieting I know I can sustain, and that is much better for me in the long run. It took me a long time to gain this weight, it will take me some time to lose it, but I hope to lose it forever.

I was banded on Sept 5th and I am 32 pounds down. I think we are all in the same neighborhood of weight loss.

Congrats on you loss so far.

I had the band surgery on October 29, 2008 and as of 1/6/09 I have lost 33lbs. I was thinking the same thing that I should have lost more. I was thinking though in the past it would have taken me 6-7 months if not longer to loose 30 lbs so I am happy with the loss I have had with the band.

I was banded on August 18th, I have lost 60lbs since then total loss is 84lbs. My only disappointment is that at my last Dr. appt for another fill my Dr. said I was losing a little to fast and that no fill was needed. But I still eat about 1 1/2 cups of food some days and other days I can only manage 1/4 cup a meal. I thank God for this band it has truely changed my life. I feel so good.:thumbup:

I was banded on 9/16 and as of this morning I have lost 31lb. I had lost 33 but gained back two.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
