I'm down 2.5 pounds. Yeah!!!

I'm just curious about how much weight people have lost at 6 months post op. I have lost about 37 lbs at 5.5 months out. This seems a little slow to me, so I started doing protien shakes again to day to see if I could start losing again and I go for another fill on Monday.

Thanks for the replies. I know alot of my problem is that I haven't got fills like I was supposed to and I have been gone out of town most of July, so I haven't really been making the best choice. Just wanted to see where others, at the same stage as me, are at with their weightloss. Congrats to everyone!!! You guys have done great.

I would like to join also, I think this might be just what I need to get back on track.

I was banded Feb 25th and did really well the first 3 months, losing about 10lbs per month. Now I seem to be at a stand still for the past 6 weeks, only losing about 3.5lbs. I know it is probably because I need a fill. I had to miss my appointment at the beginning of June, because I didn't have the money to pay for it, since my husband and I neither one are working right now. So even though I can't get a fill right now, I need some suggestions on how I can get my self back on track. I have been kind of depressed about not losing any weight and then I eat, which I know is the stupidest thing that I could do, but I guess old habits die hard. I hope to be able to get a fill some time this month, but I would really like to try and straighten up and get things moving again before then. I really appreciate and welcome any comment. Thanks for listening

Hi Alisoninoz, I would love to have someone that close to me that I could chat with. I'm sending you a friend request.

Hi Birthday Buddies, Just an update. I have finally started losing again. I have lost 4 or 5 lbs. in the last 5 day. I know I will probably not make my birthday goal, but I really glad to be losing again. How is everyone else doing?

What is a 5 day pouch test?

Up until this past week I hadn't lost any weight for about 6 weeks. I don't really know how you are doing with your eating, but I was eating more than I should and snacking. I have started eating right again, having a protein shake for breakfast, soup for lunch, and small portions of what ever I fix for dinner. I've already lost about 4lbs. since last week. I hope this helps.

In the first 3 months, I lost about 10lbs. a month, for a total of 30lbs. Now at 4.5 month, I am still only at a loss of 35lbs. I believe that most of my plateau is my own fault though. I have been snacking alot and eating things that I shouldn't. So starting yesterday I went back to my three meals, breakfast being a protein shake and no snack. I thinks this should get things going again, I guess we'll see. Also, I thing alot of peoples weight loss slows once they start regular food and then it picks back of a bit after you get the restriction you need. Good Luck!

Just an update, I've lost a 1.1 lbs in three days. I know it's small, but at least it is a loss.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did do better today, I have a shake for lunch and a small piece of steak with about a 1/4 of a cup of mash potatoes for dinner. I know it's probably not the healthiest food I could have chosen, but it's just really good for me that I haven't been snacking all day. Thanks again!!!

I lost my insurance after surgery and now have to pay for my fills. They are $125 per visit. I think everywhere is different though, I've heard you can get them some where around where I live for $50. Just call your doctor's office and ask. I'm sure they would be glad to tell you.

I finally lost another 2.5 lbs. this week. This is the first time if lost anything in about a month. I still need to lose 10lbs to make my birthday goal, so I guess it's not going to happen. I know that the weightloss is going slow because I've had a few set backs. My husband and I neither one are working right now so I haven't had the money to get a fill in about 2 months. Maybe I'll get some birthday money, because not losing with the band is really depressing. Thanks for listening, and congrats to those who are doing well.

The past few weeks I haven't lost any weight and I feel like I have been eating all the time, but sometimes things get stuck. I also have a hard time eating anything in the morning. Is this normal? Should I get another fill?

Thanks for your replies. I made an appointment for a fill, I go on Thursday. I haven't thought of drinking something warm in the mornings. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.

Hey Everyone, How are things going? I don't think I am going to make my birthday goal. I need to loose 13.7lbs in 3 weeks and I just don't think I can:sad:. I do go for a fill on Thursday and hopefully that will get things going again. I missed an appointment for a fill at the beginning of the month and that was a big mistake for me. I can't eat a lot at once, but I am hungry about every 2.5-3 hour:thumbdown:. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

Hi Birthday buddies, Just wanted to see how everyone is doing. Things are going pretty slow for me write now, but I'm pretty sure I have been eating too much lately. I just need to get my self back on track, which is what I plan to do this week. Good Luck everyone, we're just a month away.

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share some exciting news. Yesterday, I was getting ready for my daughters 4k graduation and I put some pants on that were really tight on me before. Now they are Huge. I guess that's the last time I'll be able to wear those. That was really the first time that I have really noticed the weight loss. It is so exciting, just wanted to share with others how knows how it feels. So, how are all of you doing?

How is everyone doing this morning? I have decided that this week I am going to try to do 30-45 min. on the wii fit every day to see if I can get the weightloss going again. Anyone else in for an exercise challenge?
