Count me in. I just had surgery on 10/21, so hopefully I can maintain my 1 to 2 lbs lost per week until I get to my fill in December. If I can lose 15 to 20 by Christmas, I'll be sooo happy!!!

I am definitely in too! I am stuck and have not lost much lately. I have not exercised in a while and just needs some support and motivation. Never had any type of support group the entire time of being banded. I will start exercising today. Thanks, Sylvia

Yes pls. include me too. I need some motivation and support through the holidays. I think I would have done better if this I would have had some type of local support. I plan to start exercising today and will keep in touch. Thanks, Sylvia

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
