I feel your pain JT. It's to get you ready for maintenance...I swear, because that's what it's like...watching those last few pounds every day...for the rest of your life...unless you're Jersey Girl...LOL (sorry, I'm laughing with you JT...I'm right there with you).:confused:

You SO need to have a Onederland party when you get there, which will be soon! Hang in there!

Whoot! 151 Back down 4.5 to my pre-vacation weight...fickle Band...guess my scale is in charge of deciding when it wants to move! Happy Friday all!

Oh, and if you didn't see my blog...I did an interview for a short article for the Allergan/LB site (to come out sometime this fall/winter) about my hiking at the Grand Canyon (back last Fall)...they found my blog post here. Too fun!

I can only wish that a boomerang to 159 was my problem. Hey, if i can ever shrug the last 55 lbs then it could be.. I bounced up to 212 - after hanging at 206/208 for the longest time.. as you said girlie .. back to basics.. Good luck.

Weighed 177 this AM. 2 lbs this week. I leave for home on Wed and hope to see the Dr next week. I have terrible reflux and seem to be up-chucking daily. Not good.

206.4 this morning.. a trickle in the right direction. I guess I had strayed without being aware of it (tired of plateau'ing led me to get lazy/snack/be a bad boy). Heading down the path now .. hopefully a little consistency before my cruise..

Weighed in at 174 this am. Down 1.5. Went to the Dr. yesterday am good news is that the band didn't slip. It was too tight. Nothing was getting through it. That's why I was throwing up all the time and had reflux. They took out 2 cc and I feel wonderful. I can actually eat and keep it down. No reflux last night. Just have to be careful not to get carried away. I don't understand the logic of how the band got too tight because I got too thin.

Back from Ohio...still bouncing around in the high 150's...I'm going in for a fill mid-October. I think (I'm sure my Doc will have the final word) I'll just get a small fill as I want to take it slowly on the refill...don't want that reflux back.

I don't understand the logic of how the band got too tight because I got too thin.

Glad you're feeling better JG! Curious...is that what they told you...or why do they think it got tight?

JT...I'm waiting with baited breath for that elusive 199!!!!!

      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?

      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.
