You look GREAT! Your 'before' picture is the size I am now. I've lost 60 also and am hoping to lose 45 more. How did you break your plateau? I've made it to ONEderland but have been stuck for a month almost!

Great job! How did you break your plateau? I've been stuck for about a month now....I started lifting weights along with my regular exercise so I'm hoping that will help.

Thank you all! I had gotten fill after fill and nothing happened. Lost 40lbs quick and was stuck after that. Got this last fill, started counting my calories on an app called My fitness pal, and also doing a workout called t25 a few times a week and have lost 11 lbs in 25 days! :)

You have a great figure! Thanks so much for the advice about plateaus and just keeping at it when the number on the scale isn't moving. Very inspirational! I am sabinadublin on My Fitness Pal if you'd like to add me. The pictures are amazing. I just had a cousin take mine as well as measurements. Surgery is Tuesday so I'll have something to look back on as I shed weight over time. Have a great weekend!

Great Job! On Monday I will be 7 months post op and didn't lose a lb this month (but didnt' gain one either)...I guess that's half the battle. DEFINITELY very hard to keep losing so regularly at my lower BMI but will keep trucking along that's for sure =)

Good luck!!

@ChicagoRose @Bandista & @LisaCaron Thank you all so much!! It hasn't been an easy road but stick with it and I promise it will be worth it! What you said is huge, just because you didn't loose a pound be happy you didn't gain either! This is a lifestyle change and I know people will say that to you but it really is. I decided to take this journey really young (20 y/o) so I know if I don't make the right changes, in the end, I could go right back! Try to slowly add exercise and COUNT your calories! You can easily still eat 1400 calories a day if you don't pay attention with a band. I try to stay under 1000! And once your in the green zone it's much easier! Stay strong, have faith and talk about how you are feeling with you dr. I was 240 pounds less than a year ago! And even with my plateau I've still lost 1 lb a week averaged out! Feel free to message me with any questions or follow me on MFP!! :) thank you so much for all your kind words!

      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.
