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

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!

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

@@betty_s me to!! lol I hope its "the green zone" lol foreal....ive lost 20+ lbs but I don't feel much of a difference in my clothing yet

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

I was wondering if everybody follows this rule, not drinking 30 min b4 and 30 min after...I try very hard not to..30 min before is ok..but I usually have to have a sip while im eating...really trying to break this habit....but I always feel guilty when I do it... like im pushing the food right through even tho I still only eat small portions ...

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!

OK soooo is the scale rigged at the doctors office or what lol....everytime I go for a weigh in I weigh a few pounds less then I do at the scale at home....whats going on....im not sure which to follow....its a bit discouraging when I get on the scale at home and im 5 lbs heavier then the scale at my surgeons office....ughh I have a health ometer digital scale that I purchased at walmart...does this happen to anyone else....

soooo im almost 2 months out and ive lost 21 lbs so far butttttttttt im not really seeing a major difference in the way my clothes fit...I started at 245 size 14....im 224 still size 14 lol...what the heckkkk I wanna see those one digit numbers I love to shop & theres just not a variety of stuff in plus sizes....hoping to see a change soon!

@@2babutterfly hahaha my wedding ring is a little looser I guess that's one for the books! lolol
