Rate Of Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

I was banded three months ago and have loss a solid 22 lbs, 25 or 26 on a good day. I was hoping for more but am also happy with the loss. I have had two fills and am scheduled for another one in 3 weeks. I do not feel restriction so much in feeling full but have to eat slowly or get stuck with certain foods. Last week I started exercising more so I'm hoping that helps but am interested in the rate of weight loss others have experienced (i know everyones different) and what feel restricted really feels like in terms of weight loss?

For me restriction is eating 1/2 to 3/4 cup of any food and feeling very full. Two more bites and I am miserable.In the long haul I lost about 6 pounds a month when my restriction was good. I am now in maintenance with 8cc in a 10cc band.

After the initial first couple of months losing about 20 lbs per month I have settled into good restriction and lose about 9-12 lbs per month consistantly.

I have very good restriction now and am full after about 4-5 oz of food. To help my band work more effectlvely I eat 1000-1200 calories per day. I am looking forward to getting to goal in about 50 lbs and maintaining....

I am 7cc in a 14 cc band, i eat around 3 oz Protein and a good portion of 2 green veg, i dont get hungry in between meals as the veg and protein last me around 4 hours.

I lost around 14lbs a month with eating around 1000 calories a day and exercising every day, including cycling around 6 miles a day. Its been hard work to keep exercising but i have to otherwise i just dont lose weight .

I am also 3 months out. I weighed 276 on my surgery october 14th and I weigh 250 now. I have 2 fills. I TRY to count calories but honestly, lately I've been very busy. (I'm a musical theatre performer) I was told I was doing great. We have similar stats, you're doing fine. It's a slow and steady weight loss. So keep going at it.

I was banded on 10/14 too! I have lost about 30. I still have a problem wanting to eat at night. But during the day I don't want food hardly at all.

      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. 🤞
