Has anyone lost more than 60 lbs?



Recommended Posts

I got my band on May 29th 08 - last year and have lost about 60 lbs but have stopped losing now. I have had three fills but haven't been back for my 4th fill yet. I am between switching doctors for my fills (closer to home and work) and have started a new job so I am waiting to build up for time off. Although it is almost impossible for me to eat meat for Breakfast and lunch still - to tight. I can eat it at dinner with the exception of chicken breast. I am getting hungry all the time now and am thinking I better get in for a fill but I am worried that it will be so tight that I wont be able to eat at breakfast and lunch at all. I haven't lost much over the past 4 months (since my last fill) even with doing weight watchers. Anyone having the same problem?

I think you'll find loads of people around who have lost more than 60 pounds. From the sounds of it, you may already be too tight if you can't eat meat for breakfast or lunch. If you're not able to eat solid Protein, then your meals may not be keeping you feeling satisfied between meals and make you feel the need to eat more. I can eat chicken breast for breakfast, with no issues. Good luck!!

I was banded 4/21/08 and I've lost 95 lbs. I've just had 4 weeks where I didn't lose anything. In the last couple of days the scale moved down 2 lbs, so I hope that's over. I was pretty terrified of the plateau. I've been down this path too many times. I stop losing and then I figure why bother? By the next month, I just start eating. So this time I decided to do something positive. I joined a gym. I hadn't been exercising at all until 3 weeks ago and I'm hoping that will turn this around. I also made an appointment for a fill. I couldn't get an appointment until 4/1, so I'll wait and see if I need it then, At least, I feel like I'm in control of the situation by doing something positive.

I have lost 105 pounds it sound like your too tight. Sometimesyou find yourself eating easier food but it may be higher in calories. I lost 100 pounds in 10 months. Its possible.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
