My goal is 100 lbs also. I have 23 lbs to go and 40 to get to my goal weight! (my ticker is wrong, but I don't want to add back on 10 lbs). I currently hit a snag though. I have been too tight for the last 2 months and doc took out a lot of Fluid saying My pouch needs a rest from being swollen. Now I have NO restriction! :crying:

I am having trouble limiting myself, just like in the old days w/o the band! I am trying very hard though! I would love to lose 23 lbs by January! I go in for an adjustment on Nov 16th, so that's a whole month on my own. :thumbup:

Good luck to you both on your journies. I will keep you in my prayers.

My goal is to take off 100 pounds by my bandiversary but I don't think it's going to happen. I have lost 70 pounds and I have until January 20th to lose 30 more pounds. That is just not realistic. Not at this stage in the game.

I still have about 200 pounds to lose so this journey is far from over.

Hi!

my goal was to loose 100Lbs in 1 year, but unfortunately, I didn't exercise, which I think is entirely the reason that I didn't attain my goal.

During the Xmas holiday, I went to Disney, and we walked around 6-8 hours a day, and even though I ate alot, I managed to loose 5 pounds in just a week, which really convinced me how important exercise it. Unfortunately, on my return I got sick for a month, so was not able to jump start my exercise routine. I will be starting tonight...treadmill 3 times a week, hoping that this will help me accelerate the weight loss.

I must say however, that I am really pleased by my present success, even if I didn't reach my goal. I know that it's all possible, the success is all within my own hands.

I have alot of restriction, and manage to eat all kinds of good stuff, but have had to give up alot of food, which I'm okay with (well except maybe for the sushi). I still eat chocolate, but with moderation, so things are good.

It seems like 100lbs was the goal for most people for the 1 year bandiversary. My overall goal was to be at 175lbs. I started at 262. Well, I have already passed that and now dont want to stop. I have lost 104lbs so far and am just over my 1 year. I am currently at 158 and would like to get to 145 at the smallest.

I have been working out with a personal trainer for the last year and I know that i wouldnt be where I am without him.

      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! 😞

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
