Great thread guys! It helps us pre-bandsters to read this.....also I like it when you post what your original weight/BMI was and then pounds lost over what period of time. Thanks:thumbup:

That's very interesting, I didn't know it was possible to get 5CCs at once. I wonder if that's more effective in preventing over eating and streching the pouch. It's seems it would.

I have lost 124 lbs in the first 10months. For me the key has been to exercise(especially lifting weights) and not trying to eat around the band, such as eating only thiings that go down easy, I have tried to take advantage of the band.Also being accountable to someone else. I have made my goals known to a few people and they check up on me. Keep trying until you find what works.

Good Thread. I am 4 1/2 months post surgery and down 38 pounds. To some that may seem like a lot, and to some, a little. I have noticed that my clothes are all too big, and much more importantly, that I have much more energy. ONEDERLAND is only 6 pounds away! I feel like I lost much more than 38 because I am fully aware that I would be up a few pounds if I had not done this. I am still working on getting my mind to give up the appetite since my stomach can't...stomach it...anymore...

I am almost at my one year bandiversary, one month away and i am down 53 pounds. I was feeling so good about the attention and the size of my my clothes going from a 26 to a 20 (tight 18) and from a 3X top to a 1X or even some XL. I started eating wrong foods and exercise was never were it should have been.

I have gotten back on program with eating and excersise is a priority now, I want to loose about 50 more. So I am halfway there!!! Thanks to the BAND!

I am 3 1/2 months post-op. I had lost 38 pounds and then vitually stopped, even with doing a cardio workout 30 minutes a day (bicycle, treadmill and stairclimber). I was getting really frustrated and one of the trainers at the gym suggested I try some of the classes. He said that I needed to change up the routine so my body didn't get used to it. I am doing 2-3 classes at week. It seems to have jump-started the weight loss again. I have lost a total of 43 pounds now. He also told me to quit concentrating on the scale, and to look at how my clothes fit and how much energy I had as opposed to just the weight. It has helped alot. I still get frustrated because I am in impatient person, but I keep telling myself I didn't gain it overnight and I am not going to lose it overnight.l :thumbdown:

      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! 😞
