WOW! that was fast and is great! Congrats to you! Best of luck to you and keep up the good work. I wasn't banded in March - actuallly Feb but try to stay current with everyone's posts. I've lost about 57 lbs..not enough but still hoping and trying. Hope yours is still working too. Thanks for staying current. Just out of curiosity what is your line of work? Sorry - I guess I haven't read enough of the posts. Congrats though!

I was banded on 3-3-09 and i've lost 64 pounds so far.

I'm getting close to my goal and the weight has definitely slowed down the past 2 weeks.

I need to bump up the exercise, change things up again...make sure i'm getting my Water, and watch the calories/carbs/portions again until i start losing again.

I was banded 3/23 and am currently down around 56 lbs...I have had two fills. I need to bump up the exercise now - which will be easier to do now that it isn't so hot out!

Hi everyone, sounds like everyone is doing really well. I am not sure how I am doing. Confused I guess. Last month when I had a fill then had part of it taken back out because it was to tight. I have maintained my weight for a month, just started again. Finially got back to the gym today after all the crazinest at work the past month. I still have good restriction but I get hungery between meals so I don't know what to do. Then there was a few days when everything I ate seemed to get stuck, and I thought maybe my band slipped. Im not sure If I would really know if my bland had slopped. The good news is I am 9lbs from loosing 100lbs that's an awesome feeling. Only 29 more to go to my doctors goal for me, and 59 to my ultimate goal. Now that I have made it this far life seems a little scary. I am a little worried I am going to fail somewhere down the road. I think I still have a lot of work to do with how I think about food and myself. But right now life is good.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
