I was banded 3/25

Lost 23-25 pounds as of last week, I just had a fill this past Monday and lost 7 pounds (in 5 days!!!)

So Im officially at a 30 pound weight loss and I am thrilled!!!!

:sad::thumbup:

I was just wondering how everyone has been doing myself. Got banded 3/23. Lost a bit over 50 pounds so far, had two fills. Third is scheduled for Sept. 11.

Hit a giant plateau for the past month (seriously, the scale didn't budge, no matter how much or how little I ate or exercised or anything).

FINALLY started moving again 2 days ago, thank goodness. Hoping to be down 10 by my fill appt (8 left). Hoping I can really drive it home right now since I'm apparently done plateauing for now.

Can't eat at all before about noon. Just do a Protein shake or yogurt for Breakfast. I'm trying to get more fluids. I've always been a big drinker but for the past two weeks I have noticed that I've not been drinking much at all (mayyybe 60 oz a day, nowhere near enough for me). So I'm making a conscious effort this week to up my Fluid intake.

Other than that, things are going well. I was getting really aggravated about not losing any weight, but at least I didn't gain. Have gotten stuck a few times via user error. I will decide that 11:30am is close enough to 12 to eat, and then get stuck. My body is on some weird time clock.

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing well!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

As of this morning I am down 62lbs since surgery 79lbs over all. I was banded on 3/24 and my band is 7cc out of 10cc full. This past month has been strange and I can't figure it out. I have been having a hard time eating. One day I will do really well and have no problems but then for the next week I can't take more than 3 or 4 bites and I have serious restriction. I've been feeling ok, and I am consistantly looseing even though I haven't been able to exercise in about 3 weeks, partly my own fault for not taking the time when I get home from work. I am just to tired. Normally I am able to leave work an hour early to go exercise but because we have this big inspection coming up they have stopped it and I am working overtime. So by the time I get home it's 6pm time to fix dinner take care of anything else needed and be in bed by 9 pm. I have an appointment Sept 14, at the rate I am going I wont need a fill but hope to be down another 10lbs.

Hey yall I am between 25 and 30 lbs loss and I was banded March 23......I have 4.5 cc's and I feel restrictions at times but I have not had any loss this month....I had 2 have .5 unfill a month ago and I m a lil scared to get swole shut again but I feel my restriction lessening.....I also have port pain during sex....Do any of you still get sore there????

I'm at 56 pounds weight loss and wearing size 12/14.

I just got a fill and I'm at 6.5 cc in a 10cc band.

I was banded on 3/19 and am down about 25 pounds. I see the dr. tomorrow and am not sure if I need a fill or not. I am not really losing much. I have lost about 3 pounds in the last 8 weeks. I feel like I am eating constantly some days and other days I feel really tight. Not sure what to do or if he will even let me get a fill. Kind of frustrating...

dang some of you so lucky to lose all that so fast.what do you eat in a day.maybe u have alot fills

Well I had moment yesterday while changing my clothes I was able to pull my pants down without unbuttoning them. So the realization that I really don't have any pants to wear with out looking rediculous hit me last night. So today I stopped on my way home from work and bought a couple of pairs of pants. I have gone from a size 24 to a misses 16. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am down 65 lbs since surgery on 3/24 and 80lbs over all. Haven't been this low since 1995. Have an appointment on Sept 14 still don't think I will need a fill, I have good restriction especially when I eat meats. A little frustrating I love my meat. Hope everyone is doing well and keep up the good work.

I was banded on 3/19 and I am down 40 pounds!! I'm, excited but dissapointed at myself cause I know I can do better. I'm at 4.5 cc in a 10cc band and I feel no restriction whatsoever. im afraid it slipped or leaking eventhough the doctor told me its not. But I guess i'm on average of weight loss. Good luck everybody!!

hi i was banded on 1/13/09 i am down 91lbs (40lbs pre-op).things are going great. lost 14lbs in june, so the doctor skip the july fill. because of the weight i lost. went in august for a fill gained 2lbs.it was my birthday so i ate ice cream&cake. my excuse.got a 1/2cc fill i got restriction but the scale haven,t moved yet.we will see i go for another fill at the end of september. but overall things are going good.hope everyone is still going strong.

I was banded on 3-3-09.

I'm down 64 pounds.

I have had 2 fills, the 2nd one was 4/23/09 and i'm sure i'm at my sweet spot, as i have lost and have restriction.

i've been on a plateau for a few weeks now and need to change things up to get going again.

i'm hoping to meet my goal of 120 (7 pounds to go) by the end of Oct. I would love to lower it, but will hit that goal first, before deciding.

my ideal weight range is only 91-123 pounds because i'm so short!

Wow - you guys are doing great! I haven't been on the board in months....busy busy with three girls keeping me hopping. I am glad to read about how everyone is doing, though!

I have had two fills....I have to dig up when the last one was as it has been awhile, but I cannot for the life of me remember when it was. I think I am at my sweet spot as I am slowly losing still and am not able to eat a whole lot most of the time. I feel great! I have lost just over 55 lbs now and am down 3 jeans sizes!
