Are you getting in your 60 - 80 grams of Protein in a day?

I also was banded on 3/15/11 and only lost 15lbs...I know its discouraging. I quit smoking before surgury and my last day of the patch was the day after surgury - so wondering if that is the reason. I dont eat much but dont lose much.

I was banded on 3/8/11. I am down 72 lbs and am 9 lbs from wonderland. I would love to be able to talk on Facebook with you. Please let me know if I can join and how to join on facebook. I still cant believe this is working. I am in amazement. I had tried to loose weight so ofter and usually only gained weight. I would love to be able to talk to someone that knows what I am going through. At times this is really tough.

My name is Jan Tiefenthaler on facebook. Please friend me so I can be in the group.

Hey March Bandsters!! I was banded 3/4/11. I lost 30 pre-op and 72 since surgery, for a total of 102!! I am 14 lbs from my goal, which may be readjusted as I get closer we'll see. I just picked the top weight for my height and frame. I have never been this weight except for when I was in junior high. Crazy.

I've been going broke replacing my wardrobe but it's a fun/good problem to have!!!

I had my first fill at my 6 month appt this month, that was kind of a nice refresher on speed of eating and what to eat.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to see how everyone is doing after a year!!! It has been a year of highs and lows for me! I know now that exercise has to be a daily part of my life because I have the slowest metabolism in the world. I also realized that I cannot lose if I drink any alcohol!!! I maintained my weight loss when I exercised but it seemed when the weekends came I couldn't loose!!! DUH!!! Well since I cut that out and changed my exercise a little (I stopped the YMCA and joined curves and do zumba) I am losing again! It's slow but I am doing it!

I hope everyone else is doing well, good luck!

Hey everyone....been a long time, just needed to see how everyone is doing. It has been a year and I have lost 100 lbs (see pic below). I wear a very loose 34 inch waist, I go to boot camp 5-6 days a week and have never felt and looked this good. It is very hard at times to be good and have slipped up quite a few times along the way. But...I just go back to the basics and remember why I did this in the 1st place. I wish everyone else much success!

      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
