I was banded oct 15 and I feel fantastic. The last month I havent been exercising as much as I should or have been. Im at 65lbs and staying steady at about 2 to 3 lbs a week. Closer to 2 but 3 or more when I workout 5 days a week. Getting back on the workout plan. Its just been a tough month with being sick and stuff.

I hope everyone stays positive! We are all different and any loss is a huge step forward.

Hi all

great to hear your all doing well, but on the down side I am really depressed that I am not losing anything now. I try my best at keeping mobile but pain is my problem. I did explain to consultant that I am not the healthest eater but was gauranteed that the lapband was about portions rather than what you eat.

Keep up the good work girls x x x

Hi ladies -

I was banded 10/18/10, I have 3cc in a 10cc band, my doctor is ultra conservitive. I have lost 64.8 pounds and feel AMAZING... I work out about 4 times a week, Zumba, weights and Water aerobics - I am loving it.

My eating is pretty tame, low low carb, high Protein - it works for me.

I'm happy everyone is doing so well

I was banded Oct. 7, since then I've lost 75lbs. For the first couple months I really didn't have my head in the game and was pretty much doing what I wanted. In late January I decided to get serious.

Hi All great to hear you all doing so well, I have lost 28lbs since october and had 3 fills. finding it very difficult to eat alot of foods, having hiccups all the time, due to disabilities maybe thats why it's taking longer to loose :-(

I was banded Oct 29 and lost 42 pounds easily, but I too am stuck. I'm scared to add Fluid due to food occasionally getting stuck.

I am in the same boat was banded 10/28/10 lost 82 lbs started at 277 got down to 195 and then found my fill was too tight so they completely unfilled me. I have had two fills since then and I am stuck back up at 206-209 but it seems like I am eating way more than I should be able to....also I do extreme excerxising so I am leery to get another fill because it seems like I cant get enough calories in for the excercising I am doing so I am in a quandry....please give me any suggestions possible!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
