Just a quick post to tell you all that losing weight and maintaining at goal weight is POSSIBLE with the band.

I lost approximately 115 lbs in 14 months.

I have now maintained my weight loss and am at my goal weight for over two years now.

It's A LOT of work.

It's not easy.

But totally worth it!

You can do it too.

How do you do it? I had mine in 2008 lost from 330 to 225 then gained back to 272 and now back to 262 and at a standstill for over a year. Any advise??

I am finding maintaining easier than I thought it would be... I guess 2 yrs of eating like a bandster does that to you. Congratulations on your success

bchgurl4u:

I recommend that you find your "WHY"

"WHY" do you want to lose weight?

Is that "WHY" worth it to you to not turn to food when you're bored, sad, happy, etc? Also known as = Not hungry.

Is that "WHY" worth it to you to choose to exercise each and every day?

Weight loss with the band in my opinion is a huge mental game.

If you can find your "WHY" - then maybe you'll be able to find weight loss?

Just an idea.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
