Well when tommorrow hits, it will be one year since my Lapband Sugery.

Honestly I'm thrilled with the results, but I'm been real bummed out for the last 6 months.

I've really been hovering around the 100 pound mark.

I'm really struggling to figure out how to break 100 pounds and lose again. I'm been adjusted out the whazoo.

So I guess I'm just impressed that it has been a year but know I still have a lot of work to do, and just trying to figure out how to see more results.

100 lbs in a year is fantastic! I understand how frustrating a long plateau is, but you're a 10 year old smaller than you were a year ago!

First, GREAT JOB! Woo Hoo! This is a very long road sometimes and you are doing great making your way.

I think sometimes we tend to eat the same stuff over and over. Try to change it up a bit. Try drinking a few extra Protein shakes. Drink extra Water for a couple days. If you eat salad every day for lunch switch to chili for a couple days. Sometimes just mixing up the diet breaks a plateau.

100 pounds is amazing. Pat yourself on the back for your accomplishment and keep marching ahead. Could you add a little more activity or maybe more Protein into the diet???

100 pounds is an amazing loss! Congratulations!

Are you exercising? If not, now is the time to start. It will jumpstart your loss.

If you are, try changing your routine a bit.

One of the women who works at my doctors office weighed nearly 600 pounds before she was banded. She said that she has lost 300 pounds in 2 1/2 years. She told me that it is a slow process when you have a lot to lose. Your body has done well so far. I bet if you got a really good exercise program that you stick with and speak to a nutritionist you can get on track to lose another 100 in a year.

Congrats!!! 100 pounds in a year is awesome...its a lot easier to loose weight when you have a few hundred to loose as i found out the more you loose the tougher it is.......someone who has to loose 100 pounds can loose 20 pounds quicker and easier than someone who has to loose 20 pounds..... your doing great keep up good work :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
