Lol! that would have been a good joke! Problem is, you don't really lose that FAST most time with the band, but the loss is STEADY

Needing a fill. Am still "stuck" on a plateau of 57 pounds lost. Will have to call this coming week and schedule my 3rd fill. Got my pool filled today; the extra exercise this summer has to help me lose quicker!

Good job! Lost 150 pounds? That is what I have to lose altogether. Have lost nearly 60. How long did it take you? Keep up the good work! -
Hey! I have enjoyed reading your posts and looking at your album.. It just seems like you know where I have been! Hope all went well with your surgery. Good Luck and God Bless!

Well, I have officially stalled. I know I need a fill, but I am self pay and my hours have been cut back at work. I will have to find the money somewhere. I have come too far to fail now! Still have some restriction and I can't OVEREAT, but I need to get the rest of this weight off. I wish I had done this earlier in my life. So much money and effort and many years wasted on the wrong diets! I know I am on the right track, and with the good Lord's help, I will make it through!

Hey! Read your profile. You live just over the hill from me! Hope you are still doing well? How much have you lost? How long? You are a very pretty lady and I see, you are very active as well! Keep up the good work!

Happy for you! I too have a wonderful man who loves and supports me at ANY WEIGHT.. but believe me.. you get more attention as the pounds shed off! lol! Congrats and good luck! -
I think you will find that about 2 weeks AFTER YOUR FILL, your restriction is likely to kick in.. don't be surprised! Lol! Mine ALWAYS get tighter after the 2nd or 3rd week.. can't tell you why that is, but it seems to be a common occurence.. I think i am about ready for another fill, need to make arrangements. I have been at a plateau for 4 weeks now, and I was able to eat half a hamburger today, which has been UNHEARD OF in the last 9 months! Lol! Keep up the good work with your diet and keep up the good work for the Lord! God Bless! Keep me posted!

I see your weight is going down! Congrats! Hope all went well! God Bless!

Hey there! Been following up on Tennessee Banders! Did you get your band? How are things going for you? I don't live far from you (Mosheim, just East of Knoxville).. Hope all goes well. God Bless!

You are a very pretty girl and you look like you are very sure of yourself. Good luck with your upcoming surgery and congrats on the decision!

Do you regret it?

I have NO REGRETS WHATSOEVER..... Unless it would be that I DIDN'T DO IT SOONER! I have spent the last 20 years battling this weight, and I mean WORKING ON IT.. not just BEING FAT! I know I am finally on the right path, but it is not a quick fix by any means! Still have to work at it, but I am not hungry all the time like I was before! Keep on Keepin' on! Good luck and God Bless! -
Wow! You have done great! I am on a plateau right now, but I believe I know what the problem is and I am working on it. Keep up the good work!

i too was banded in June 2008.. I haven't done nearly as well as Apples2, but 57 pounds are GONE FOREVER! Good luck to you all! God Bless!
-
Guess we will just have to keep each other company! lol! But in all seriousness.. I have found an EXHORBINANT AMOUNT of help and support on this site. I appreciate every e-mail and every tid bit of info I find on here! Good Luck to All! and hope to see LESS OF YOU SOON!

Questions for other--- 1. Was anyone else unsure of the feelings of being full? We have all had those feelings! It is a learning process. 2. Did anyone else feel like they were just on a strict diet at first? Oh definitely! thought.. If I was going to have to be on a diet like this all the time, why am I going through the process of getting the band.. then I realized the band really helped me eat less and added to my control... 3. Is it unusual to lose 17 lbs in six days? I would say you are one of the lucky ones! Don't knock it! Enjoy! 4. How long does the soreness last? I was mildly sore for about 4-5 days.. a little swollen. But by the end of the first week, I was totally back to normal. Congrats on your decision and getting your surgery.. You have gotten off to a GREAT START! Good Luck and God Bless!

Hey Luchay, Don't beat yourself up too much! We all go through valleys! Trick is to pick yourself back up and get back on the right track (which is what I am working on now!).. You hang in there, we'll make it together! God Bless!
-
Congrats to both of you on your decision! I am 9 months into my band.. have lost 57 pounds and it was the BEST THING I ever did for myself! Good Luck and God Bless!
-
I too enjoyed this thread. I have not given up on my band, but I am at a plateau and have been trying to get another "jump start".. I still have good restriction and I am sure the scale will start moving again soon.. Good luck all! God Bless!
