bandedgorJESS

I was banded 12/9/11 w dr Hollis too : )

I know everyone loses at a different pace but I'm still curious to know how fast or slow everyone is losing.... I'm 3 months post op and only down 23 lbs most of which I lost on my pre op diet.... Since my third fill two days ago I've FINALLY felt some restriction! Appreciate the feed back and thanks for sharing!!

Did the drs specify how long it should take to lose the majority of the weight? I have 100 lbs to lose : / I wish I could fast forward to my goal weight .....

Saw someone I haven't seen pre surgery and their reaction was "wow youve lost a lot of weight!" I've only lost 23 lbs thus far but damn it felt good to get recognition! I LOVE my band! I wouldn't be able to do this w out it!!!!!! What are some of yalls nsv's?!

AMAZING! And I gotta say I'm kinda jealous! Lol I wish I was losing faster! It's seems like its taking forever for me to lose !

Lmao! I had my last meal at olive garden too!!!!! I've since then gone back post op and let me tell you, I will NEVER eat the tour of Italy again! So NOT worth the carbs! I eat salad and calamari and sometimes stuffed mushrooms : ) I used to be able to have an appetizer, tour of Italy, and desert! I don't know how the hell I ate all of that! I lost 15 lbs on my liquid diet. And I will admit, I cheated a couple times : ( but 15 lbs in 2 weeks is pretty awesome! Lol mostly all water weight I'm sure....

I actually went today for my 3rd fill : )

I want to stop hiding behind my child and husband when we take pictures. I only show my face NEVER my full body! Stop wearing sweaters bc it hides my fat arms and back fat! I wana walk into a clothing store and buy what I like on the hanger not settle for what fits! These are all things I thought were "normal" .... They aren't normal. And I want to change them. Best of luck to you guys!

His might come across as a stupid question. But is there a specific reason why we can't drink or sip water while we eat? This has truly been a challenge for me : / Thanks in advance!

I too went to dr Hollis at true results! I love him and his staff is great! I am fortunate enough to have had the surgery covered by my ins fills included. I do wish they would give fills more often instead of having to wait 5 to 6 weeks for availability : / but other than that I really like their facility and staff!

Me too and I haven't lost much since surgery.... What I have lost what bc I was on the pre op diet.... I'm getting super frustrated

3 and half months post op and have only lost 10 lbs! Anyone else having this problem?!

Omg! Thank you for sharing this ladies link! I LOVE reading it now! How much weight has she lost?! I could relate to her on so many levels! Thanks again!

I'm 3 months post op w the lap band and it is NOT easy! It's basically 70% mental work and the rest your band! If you're looking for easy fix then don't choose lap band.... If this doesn't work for me I'll be considering the sleeve.... I honestly thought it would be a little easier than this : / we shall see after I hit my "sweet spot"

I only have 3 cc in my 10 cc band..... I do exsercise however I don't always make the best food choices : / carbs and sweets are my freakin weekness! I get my 3rd fill next week so I'm hoping for more restriction .... I appreciate all the feedback!
