6 Months Out-How Much Have You Lost?



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

I was banded on 3/21/11 in Salt Lake City, UT. I was wondering how much you had lost by your 6 month mark? I am down 37 pounds. I am wondering if that is normal or slow?

Everyone is different, but I had lost about 50 lbs. by the 6 month mark. But in the last 4 months I've only lost about 10! So you're neither fast nor slow, you're on your own time. The important thing is that those 37 pounds are GONE!!!!

I had lost just over 50, but stalled out in last part of June due to an overfill............I think I just needed a break,(and my doctor's office said that it was OK -- the band is forever). I have lost about 6 more in the last 2 months --- ( almost 60 lbs in 8 months - PTL).

I have an appointment later this month for a fill to get me back on track. My last fill was in June. I thought I'd get aggressive and try to loose 20 more by Christmas. I am not even half way yet....but I feel no rush and am hoping the slow approach keeps my skin tight. (I am 48 years old).

I have a long journey, almost 150 lbs -- so I decided to take it slow and steady and enjoy the journey. I wish you a wonderful journey, too!

BTW - the thing below is inaccurate and i forgot PW to update.

I'm 8 months post op and down 47 pounds. scale didn't move much at all after the first month but I'm working out 4-5 days a week at the gym and clothes are falling off. Wish it were more but it's an amazing loss regardless. Congrats to all of you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
