5 Months Post-Op (Just Wondering How Everyone Is Doing?)

[TamaraKaye 6]

Hello! My name is Tamara. I was banded 2/21/12 and have lost a total of 63 lbs! I am down 3 pant sizes! I have 5.6cc in my band. I am just wondering how everyone else is doing? I have had a few plateaus here and there. I was stuck between 55-58 lbs for about a month and a 1/2! That was frustrating. But i started dropping again recently. I'm hoping it keeps going! Please share your stories

Thank you! I 'm sure you will do great!

I was a little worried to start solid foods. I am still learning what I can and cannot eat. Red meat does not go down well at all. chicken is fine. And even though I love it, bread is no longer an option. LOL. I am so happy with my choice to have the surgery.

I have lost about 25 lbs. I still have a problem chewing food and getting stuck. I get frustrated cause I can't eat what I want sometimes

Tamara, I am about 4 months out. I have 4.5 cc in a 14cc band. My doc didn't want to add any fill last week, I had lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks. But, I was just coming off a 1 month plateau. I will see what he says in two more weeks.

I feel great, I excercise almost everyday and eat what I want. I even had some cake this weekend. Of course, the piece was about 1/8 of what i used to consider a piece of cake!!

Keep up the good work,

I'm 7 weeks out tomorrow and down 30 lbs maybe a few more but the scale bounces around a bit. Exercising more than I used to, able to drink alcohol on occasion and almost down a size. Still kind of hungry but got 4 cc's in my 12 cc band last week and doing well I think it's a 12 cc band anyways...

Hi there! I am 4 months post-op and am down over 45lb and 6 clothing sizes! I feel great about myself and my decision to purse WLS. I recently got my fourth fill (4.8cc/10cc) and am definitely re-learning how to eat.

I swear I have PB'd 4 or 5 times since the fill over a week ago!

I was banded on May 28, 2012 and have a 10 cc. band. I've lost almost 40 lbs. and have 7.5 cc in the band. Just starting to feel restriction, but I think it will take 1 or 2 more fills to find the sweet spot.
