You're doing great! I'm so happy for you - what a great loss this week for you! I haven't seen onderland since I was 19 years old!

Well, I finally had a better loss this week. I lost 3.1 lbs. That makes a total of "almost" 16 lbs since surgery. Still losing pretty slow compared to others, but at least it's coming off right!?

Can't wait to hear how everyone else is doing.

Have a great weekend!

Okay I'm officially BUMMED!! I have not lost anything in the last 2 weeks! I have had soo much going on and have not been concentrating on my weight loss, so needless to say my food choices have been bad. Can someone give me a swift kick in the BUTT! I need something to kick start me again. I did get alot of good foods today so that I won't be tempted by all of hubby's junk food. I hate to complain about him but he loves junk food and buys tons of it. He is 6'4" and can eat ANYTHING, I hate that. Anyway, next week will have to be better.

Have a great weekend, Bernadette

Im ashamed of myself!!!!! I have gained 5lbs back!!! I decided that no butt kicking is going to work I need to dig my heels in and get back to work. I did better yesterday and did get in a 3 mile walk, our weather is finally getting better. I live in the Seattle area and we have had tons of rain until now. I know that part of my problem is that I don't prepare my meals ahead of time, and then I just grab anything to eat. I stocked up on low cal foods so that I can get this 5lbs off and concentrate on the next 50!!

Have a great week, Bernadette

I'm right there with you. I feel like I'm constantly gaining and losing the same 4-5 lbs. I was doing really well with walking, but now the weather here has gotten so hot, I just can't make myself do it. This weekend it was over 100 degrees here!

I too have not been eating the right foods and am also ashamed. I'm eating portions way too big sometimes and it scares me that I may have stretched my pouch. I am by no means eating the portions I used to be able to consume - but it's still way too much.

I get my second fill on Wednesday and pray that it helps!

We'll get through this - we have too!

Hi Silly

Yes I have been bad and I gave myself a good talking to! I started back yesterday on eating right and I lost 3lbs. I just have to stick with it, and not cheat. I was starving all day yesterday, I think it was mainly head hunger because of eating right. I have to get this back on track, I did not spend all of that money just to loose a few pounds. I will have my 3rd fill on Thursday and I hope this does the trick, wish me luck! I wish you lots of luck with your 2nd fill!!

PS what is your real name??

What is Onederland?
This is when you get below 200 lbs. I haven't been here in 16 years! I can't even imagine what it will be like!

We just need to remember that even though we make mistakes, we are not failures - therefore, we cannot, and will not give up! I know I've got to dust myself off and get back on track!

Good job on getting back on track! Let me know how your 3rd fill goes. I got my 2nd today and I now have 7.5 cc's in a 14cc band. I had only lost 3 lbs since he saw me last month. He wasn't too concerned but he did give me hard time because I haven't been walking since it started getting really hot here. I need to stop making excuses and just do it! Good news - I found out I can call him to make an appointment for a fill if I think I need one. I had the impression that I had to wait a month. He makes you think you have to wait a month, but I just flat out asked him if I could come sooner if I needed and he said ok! That's a releif!

And, my name is Chealyn (sounds like ShayLynn). My mom just got fancy with the spelling!

Take care and talk with you soon!

Fixin, I was banded 3/19/09 and I am also 5'2", but I am not having the great weight lose that you are having. Can you give me some pointers? I have not been on any real diet, I am depending on the band to restrict my eating. I haven't done any exercise at all. I keep telling myself I'll start exercise program tomorrow.

Hi everyone

I go in to get my 3rd fill today, I hope it helps on the amount of food I can eat and does not make me get stuck more. I have to remember small bites and chew, chew, chew!! It is hard to erase 49 years of eating habits.

Chealyn, nice name!! Im glad that your doctor gave you the go ahead to get your fills more often. I have a fill center do mine and their motto is that the fills get you to goal weight faster and that is why you have this surgery in the first place. Thanks for the pep talk, I just needed to get back on track and eat correctly. We are having good weather so walking is much nicer now too. I will keep everyone posted on my fill later today.

Have a great day!!

Bernadette

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
