Hi. I was banded 8.novemer and I´ve lost 28 pounds. Feeling great

[audreycat123 59]

I was banded nov 8. Down 23 pounds and majorly stalled out! I have been eating crap for all of holiday break! I have had one fill but still don't feel like anything has changed. I actually had the thought that perhaps my doctor is running a scam and didn't place the band at all! Gonna try to start over again today but I am feeling discouraged because this is exactly what I would do everyday before I decided to have surgery. By two o'clock I will have blown my diet for the day and will eat like a pig until bed. I'm really hoping my next fill on the tenth will make this decision seem real.

Banded 11/5 with one fill. Not sure how much how much I've lost because I only weigh on dr scales. Go back next week & will get official weight then.

Hi all, I was banded 11/28 and I'm down 20 pounds. I finally started working out this week so hopefully it will start coming off a bit more. I'm able to eat more than I did and I'm a little worried. I get so hungry - it's like all of a sudden if I don't eat it's almost painful. I do track my food and I'm averaging about 1200 calories per day with the main source coming from Protein. I go to the Dr for my second follow up this Wednesday so we will see.

Hi, Rich Girl. I was the day after you and I have my 6 week follow-up on Wednesday, too. I am getting my first fill. Went out to dinner tonight and I forced myself to stop early but I could have finished my plate and my husband's, too. Still hungry now and it isn't "head hunger." Good luck and let me know how you make out.

Hi All

Banded 11/8 and down 28lbs. The holidays were hard and I found I ate too much carbs and gained a few pounds. But I got right back on track and have lost those and back where I was before the hoildays. I have had one fill on 12/4 an am scheduled for the next one on 1/28. I found after my first fill, it seemed like I could eat more, at least I was hungier more!! I am hoping the next fill will correct this.

MY problem is I can't seem to start exercising, but this is a new year, and a new me and I will get there!

Hi everyone. So glad I found u guys. I was banded 11/9 and have lost 17# and down frm a 2x to an xlg. I'm finding it easy to eat most things but def. know my favorite holiday food of posole is a no go for me, it wemt down but didnt stay down. All the holiday goodies were my weekness but Im determined to use this tool to help me be a healthier person. I recently started walking for 15-20 min. of my 30 min. lunch break n find it keeps me energized! I've had 2 fills and think I still need another. Good luck to us all!!!

Total weightloss from 11/19 today is 30 however this is not including previous diet. Ladies those that lost more than 30 at most likely including pre op diets. What ever weight loss we lost we couldn't lose it in 2 Mo with our the band so please be proud and if u slip get right back on the role again and success will come best of luck

I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

[starbaby11 5]

oh so glad im not alone, i was banded november 10th.

Down 15lbs so far but just stuck here ever since!!

Ive had 2fills so far, second fill was last week and im quite restricted ever since.

So very frustrating to not see the scales moving.

Ive 49lbs left to loose to goal weight!
