I was banded in 2014 sw was 245. I lost weight but had another baby in September and I’m at 239 I got my 11cc band filled up to 6 cc took 3 out while I was pregnant and got 2 put back in on Thursday so now I’m at 5cc. I’ve never been in the green zone since I’ve had it I’m hoping to start the journey again

Thanks so much @@Keeper it's funny because I have two boys and a husband as well is a challenge! But I just stay away from things I know I shouldn't have ...what is green zone for you? I'm not sure if I'm there or not I get stuck once in a while nothing crazy but I do get hiccups after i eat at times

I was banded March 26 2014 it's been a year and a month......I've only lost 38 lbs so far but it's 38 pounds gone forever as long as I can keep pushing through.... I haven't had a fill in a long time but I'm going back Wednesday to get a little put in to kick things back in motion..... I'm really trying to hit my goal weight of 165 currently 207 looking forward to getting into ONEderland ! Any advice on meal plans quick preps I would appreciate it!

I get my next fill june 25 hoping for some more restriction I have 6 ccs in my 11 cc band and I have no idea what im going to get next im hoping another 3....my scale is dumb so I haven't really been weighing myself and my clothes don't fit a WHOLE lot looser but for right now im 21 lbs down and I have 59 more to go lol...I know this is a process but im so anxious to see ONEderland !!! praying to reach my goal by October !! I did eat some things I don't think agreed with my band I don't regurgitate or spit up or anything but I do get cramps and gas pains when I eat something that I guess doesn't agree I have to be more careful.... #StayingFocused

Do you really truly begin to lose the weight after u find the green zone? or should you be losing even before this happens....

well you know it was a long weekend, I did slip up a little this weekend but today is a new day and time to get back on track, ive been feeling a little discouraged because I haven't been getting the results ive been hoping for, & im one of the ones that has a melt down when I don't see results right away lol but I will just keep pushing forward and eating clean....I do however need to incorporate way more exercise to my regimen....hope you all had a great weekend!
